1. Gulangyu Island, Xiamen Gulangyu Island has not become famous for just one or two days. Before that, you may have read many essays praising Gulangyu Island and seen many photos of the gentle scenery.
It is not just a scenic spot, but a pilgrimage site like Lijiang and Tibet.
Most tourists will experience a strong sense of gap in Gulangyu Island.
Netizens complained one after another, "I thought there would be the tranquility of the ancient town and the scenery of the island, but the reality is that there are only Taobao physical stores", "It is crowded and noisy and some alleys are dirty, making people feel like they can't breathe", "Gulangyu Island is really...
It's small, very commercial, and all kinds of literary and artistic photos are just photos and deceptions."
Being cheated, crowded, and ultimately disappointed, many people have experienced this "Gulangyu Trilogy".
2. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an are big news every year. On National Day, "If your mobile phone falls into a pit, it will become a cultural relic." At the beginning of the year, "Xi'an is a very interesting city, and the attractions and scammers are very interesting."
The fake terracotta warriors and horses museum is made to look like the real thing. The terracotta warriors and horses inside have watery eyes, as if they have a girl's heart.
There are even beautiful scenes that will never be found in real museums: the ceiling of Qin Shihuang’s tomb is decorated with the sun, moon and stars with jewels, and the ground is made of mercury to resemble rivers, lakes and seas.
3. Lijiang Ancient Town Lijiang is known as the “city of romantic encounters”, but it is also the hardest hit area by the “commercialization of ancient towns”.
Some locals told tourists that the Old Town of Lijiang is basically filled with businessmen from other provinces, which are mainly divided into several parts: those selling flower cakes, those selling shawls, those selling drums, those selling bars and coffee bars, inns, and those selling jewelry.
Not to mention violent incidents - forced buying and selling, verbal threats, and beatings if someone disagrees.
After the robbery, beating and vicious disfiguring incident in Lijiang, group tourists dropped sharply. 32 tourist shopping stores were canceled and the business licenses of 8 travel agencies were revoked.
4. Wuhan Hubu Alley Hubu Alley in Wuhan is a century-old alley with a length of 150 meters. It is known as the "No. 1 alley for Han-style snacks". There is a saying among the people that "you can taste Hubu Alley in the morning and supper on Jiqing Street at night".
However, the food is expensive and unauthentic, and the environment is not elegant. The four kings of the historical and cultural district are everywhere: stinky tofu, grilled squid, old yogurt, and fried chicken steak.
Apart from bean curd and glutinous rice noodles, there is nothing delicious.
