    As a local who isn't in business here, I don't see any of the benefits. But when it comes to the downsides, like traffic jams and other hassles, I haven't missed a single one.

      Who even goes to Dapeng? You all insist on coming, but honestly, it's not much fun.

        I've lived in Dapeng for ages. There's not much to do, and I'm tired of the seaside.

          That's a very one-sided view. Most businesses in Dapeng operate with integrity, transportation is improving, and there are plenty of attractions.

            Indeed. To be honest, traveling anywhere during long holidays can be a bit of a headache. It's always good to have a Plan B. Creating a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience is something we all need to work towards.

              I actually find Dapeng quite affordable. Businesses rely on holiday periods to make a profit for the whole year – otherwise, how would they survive? If they all closed down, it would be even more inconvenient for everyone. Plus, there are many free beaches like Jiaochangwei and Guanhu. A family can have a fun day out for just a few hundred RMB, which I think is a pretty good deal. Just my opinion, no need for harsh criticism.

                Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Dapeng tourism has its flaws, sure, but calling them 'seven deadly sins' is going too far. Price fluctuations are a normal part of market dynamics; tourism spending naturally varies with seasons and holidays. This 'rental mentality' isn't unique to Dapeng; you see it everywhere. Traffic congestion is a common issue for popular tourist destinations nationwide. This year's extended May Day holiday saw traffic jams everywhere, and Dapeng is actively working on improvements.

                  These excuses are too generic; you could say the same about any popular tourist destination.

                    This looks like AI-generated content at first glance. Several of the 'issues' mentioned are quite a stretch.

                      Regarding overcharging, personally, I think it's more about my own limited spending power. Look around – which tourist spot in places like Hainan, Yunnan, or Guangxi isn't expensive? You want to enjoy delicious food on the beach with beautiful company and expect it to be cheap? You can't expect businesses to operate at a loss. I always drive to Kuichong or Dapeng town center to eat; go a little further, and it's cheaper. Traffic is a pain, I agree, but everywhere is crowded during holidays. Fifteen years ago, you couldn't even squeeze onto a bus to Dameisha, it was just as packed with people.

                        That's a bit of an exaggeration. Which tourist spot isn't packed during the holidays? It's precisely because Dapeng offers beautiful scenery – good mountains, good water, a great environment – that so many people visit.
