      This is terrible! It's the first time I've actually heard a tour guide say, 'You can't leave if you don't buy anything.' Now I'm at the exit, and they're checking everyone's receipts one by one.

          The bus directions to the Great Wall from Qianmen are really clear, I just didn't have time to go.

            Yeah, I took the public bus before. This time, bringing my mom, I got lazy. They said they'd pick us up right at the hotel entrance.

              Ah, I even bought a group tour to Badaling, 80 yuan per person for a round trip (entrance ticket not included).

                It's okay! I'm sure you'll find a good tour too! Don't worry! Happy New Year!

                  Thanks. I was planning to charter a car to the Great Wall, but now I'm too scared to.

                    What they said about joining a tour for the Great Wall is true, but the rest is a bit misleading. There are more convenient and faster ways; perhaps you haven't experienced them.

                            Couldn't you call the police when they were checking everyone's receipts?
