The highway is free on holidays.
In order to enjoy the free highway, many people congested on the road for hours, even more than ten hours.
My friend M was stuck on the road for ten hours. If we calculate according to the holiday overtime pay three times the salary, the time he was stuck on the road has been worth more than one thousand dollars, far more than the highway toll saved.
He arrived at his destination in the middle of the night and stayed in a 600 yuan hotel. These hotels, with daily prices of just over 200, become sky-high when it comes to holidays.
The next day to go to the attractions, see all the people, have to look out through the cracks in the heads to see a little bit of the scenery.
Mr. M said: If you like to see people, then of course, good. But there are not too many good-looking people in the scenic area, after all, they have not been PS.
The right thing to do on holidays is to work overtime to earn money instead of crowding the highways and scenic spots. –This is what Mr. M felt on this trip.
But this insight did not change his life. Every holiday, he is still congested on the highway, still in the scenic spot to see the head.
Because M, like most people, is only free on those days.

They travel especially love shopping, and tour guides are bound to take tourists shopping.
Tourist shopping is by no means limited to tourist souvenirs, which may include tea, snake wine, cordyceps, maca, bracelets, agates, silver pots, massagers, and any kind of things that can be called “souvenirs”, even if these souvenirs are shipped from abroad.
In fact, these things, they can be bought in Taobao, not only delivery, the price is also cheap. If you buy in Poundland, it is even cheaper.
By the guide to go shopping, often be ripped off a large amount, sometimes not to buy. The news said that the leaders of Yunnan Province to travel on a private visit, as usual, was forced to shop.
Tour guide salary is very low, if not to the store to get some kickbacks, not many people want to be a guide. Many of the travel agency’s tour routes are incredibly cheap. Looking at the price you would think that the travel agency is a charity that specializes in giving you benefits at a loss. The difference in price is because the business is sponsoring. Sponsorship means that you have to take people to my store to buy things.
Like to travel shopping, is a Chinese characteristic. There are even people who travel and buy a house along the way.
Recently there is a sales method called patriotic sales, especially effective.

There is a kind of tourist called Chinese ama. The most representative of them is the northeast ama.
The northeast ama has a bold nature, loves to talk, loud voice, authentic northeastern language, very recognizable. When a group of Northeastern mothers appear in a tourist spot, you can feel their presence with your eyes closed.
Bringing a red cloth with you as a photo prop is the first fashion that the Northeast ama leads. This cloth can be hung on the body, can be waved up, can be thrown in the sky.
Aunties are naturally beautiful, but their aesthetic is rather harsh, both in terms of clothing and posing.
Such photos are like a stamp on the face, indicating that it has been here.
Recently, the most condemned kind of pose is to climb the tree to take pictures.
I actually grew up climbing trees. I am not a tree preservationist. I don’t really care if the moms take pictures in the trees.
But even if the moms climb the trees and pose, those photos are still tacky.
A woman’s travel is usually like this: 12 hours a day, walking, eating, playing with the phone, sending friends spent 5 hours, 6 hours posing for photos, but no one photo can be seen.
They look at the scenery of time, basically less than 20 minutes. Their day consumes the most energy activity, is to take pictures.

China’s scenic spots are graded. The highest level is 6A scenic spots.
The name of this national standard, called the “classification and evaluation of the quality level of tourist attractions”.
The so-called 5A scenic spots are roughly equivalent to the new first-tier and second-tier cities, 985 universities, and tertiary hospitals.
When it comes to holidays, all the 5A scenic spots are crowded. This kind of scenic spot is more suitable for tall people, if you are small in stature, most of the time you see the heads of people.
Unless you think that people are also a kind of scenery, do not easily go to 5A scenic spots.
A friend sent a friend circle in Huangshan Mountain, saying he was stuck in the road in and out, the whole mountain road blocked.
I reassured him that: Huangshan is better than Mount Huashan, not many people fell to their death. We studied the heroic deeds of Mount Huashan rescue, about a holiday one year, the people above a crowd, many tourists rolled down the grunt, a group of students from the military medical university risked their lives to save many lives. As for how many people died in the fall that was not saved, it is not known. In those days, legend has it that an average of one died every day on Huashan.
Even the Bund in Shanghai such a big road, but also because of congestion and trampling, accidents. Do not go to places where there are many people, this simple truth, is that no one takes it seriously.
Indians prefer to pile up, big pot festival, a few million people a day crowded at the Ganges. Sure enough, there was soon an epidemic outbreak.
And not to mention the epidemic, just see so many people, let me have intensive phobia.

Most of the attractions will become “hieroglyphics”, such as Bull Mountain, Dragon Mountain, Lion Rock, Goddess Peak and Couple Peak. The tour guide will point to the stone and say to the tourists: “Look at the stone on the left, does it look like Pig Bajie carrying his daughter-in-law? And look at this rock on the right, does it look like a monkey riding on the back of a turtle?”
Kindergarteners will probably like this analogy. If a group of adults still like this kind of thing, it is a bit of a giant baby.
All kinds of attractions always climb up to the emperor, high officials and celebrities. Only places where these people have spent time will be preserved as relics. In locations where there is a strange lack of celebrities, there is even more hunger.
I have seen many monuments in Lu’an that commemorate the great achievements of Zhang Xianzhong. As far as I know, it is unbelievable that the scenic spots are proud of Zhang Xianzhong, who cut off one hand of the whole city when he sacked Liu’an.
The national parks abroad, on the other hand, are of a completely different style. There will be road signs and museums that tell visitors the geological history of the place. These mountain rocks were submarine volcanic rocks in the xx era, then turned into mountains, and later suffered glacial erosion and various erosion. Many attractions, will record who first discovered the place, who unraveled the history of geological evolution, who first surveyed and developed, but will never put the attractions near the celebrities, and will not be everywhere “piggyback daughter-in-law” and other explanations.
Therefore, the introduction of domestic attractions and guide culture, the taste is generally not high. But this can not be blamed on the guide, after all, today is a market economy, the customer is God, what kind of customer, there will be what with the attraction packaging.
I feel very tired listening to this kind of same-old-same-old introduction to the attractions. What is even more tiresome is the variety of falsification.
For example, the tombs of Xishi and Fan Li are said to have been found in many places in China.
The Yellow Emperor, Yandi, Dayu, such legendary figures, all have tombs.
Many monuments have all new houses, or demolished new houses to create a fake antique. After another hundred years, future generations will not know that these monuments are forged.
Even more funny is that some places can not afford to demolish the building, outside the building to play retro. For example, Wenzhou has a park road, to restore the look of the Republic of China, so in a bunch of skyscrapers outside the Republic of China shell.
Wuzhen is also said to be so made, only to make a more thorough, the newly built houses are demolished.

I’m a little burned out on tourism.
The city has lost its uniqueness. You can take half of Jinan and splice it with half of Nanjing, and basically you can’t tell the difference. A neighborhood in Suzhou, or in Dongguan, would not be out of place.
The complexes in every city are similar. The stores are all those chain brands. Supermarkets are all those goods. The food and drink on the street is becoming more and more the same.
No matter what city you are in, the slogans on the walls are all the same. The next generation of children don’t speak their native language, they speak standard Mandarin.
The pedestrian streets are copied one by one, and the business models of ancient towns are cloned one by one.
People’s heads are also formatted, neat and tidy. No matter what the place is, there is no big difference in the way of thinking.
Even the store signs on the streets have been replaced with the exact same ones by them.
The lakeside is no longer a lakeside, it has all been turned into steel and concrete. The riverside is also no longer a reed dike, but steel and concrete that is indistinguishable from a highway.
The village government of each village is decorated exactly the same. The village temples and ancestral halls can be converted into “cultural halls”.
Street performances and art sellers are getting rarer and rarer. I think it is a rare sight to see an artist.
Even if the mountains and clear water are beautiful, you will get tired of seeing more mountains and water. Cities and towns have lost their uniqueness, and ancient towns are like multiple births.
In the past, people said that the so-called tourism, is to run from their own stay tired of the place to others stay tired of the place. Nowadays, you go to a distant city and find that it is exactly the same as the city you are tired of.
The world is a big place and you should really go see it. But if all cities are made into one mold, why bother running around.
