Equality issues inherently fall into a category where excessive control stifles progress, while too little leads to chaos. It's fair to say this is an ongoing journey. Maintaining restraint in public power and avoiding overcorrection are just as important as rectifying existing injustices.

Don't worry, it'll be changed sooner or later.

I really loved Sun Moon Lake. The only downside was that many shops closed too early.

That's so relatable.

Shenzhen's specialties: e-scooters and e-bikes, roadside stalls.

That's in the 'Guanwai' (outer districts), it's not really a problem with Shenzhen proper.

Last year, I went to Wuyi Mountain. After registering, I drove into a nature reserve area. The road wound for tens of kilometers with no one around. On my way out, I saw a man with a backpack walking, so I offered him a ride out without much thought. After he got in, my mom, using our local dialect, asked me why he had burrs all over his hair. Driving, I instantly broke into a cold sweat and didn't dare to look directly at him in the passenger seat. For those dozens of kilometers, I was completely on edge, afraid to say anything wrong. He tried to get information about my family, and I answered cautiously, afraid of revealing anything about our finances. When he said he'd lost his phone and didn't have one, I got even more scared. My mom in the back seat was holding something, on high alert. After we got out of the reserve, he wouldn't get out of the car. I had to make up an excuse that I needed to go eat to finally get him to leave. With burrs in his hair and dirty clothes and shoes, he clearly looked like he'd been hiding in the mountains. Since then, I don't dare to do good deeds anymore.

Haha, this Line 11 only opened half a month ago. Guangzhou's Line 1 is pretty old too.

You're not wrong; even Guangzhou locals struggle to recommend fun places here. After visiting Beijing, I realized there's so much more to do there.

A few days ago in Wuhan, I saw people shaking cherry blossom trees and pulling at the branches. I couldn't help but step in and stop them. People from Hangzhou just can't stand it when others don't respect flowers, plants, and our beautiful environment.

That's quite a long trip for you from Fujian! I feel like this kind of attraction is more suited for a quick visit for people from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area.

This Marriott needs a serious double-check system. They made an incredibly basic mistake... My two-year-old and I were napping when the front desk gave another guest a key to our room. When they pushed the door open, that guest actually questioned why I was sleeping in the room... My child was scared badly and burst into tears.

Ah, I truly regret it! On my first visit to Hangzhou, instead of following my sister's lead and exploring the city at our own pace, I opted for a package tour with a guide hoping for a more professional travel experience. (I was silly not to make this decision myself, as it would have been far better to stay out of this tour!)

• This morning, I visited Lefeng Pagoda (雷峰塔, Leifeng Pagoda), an iconic ancient tower admired for its picturesque landscape. Fortunately, this portion of the visit proved enjoyable, with good photos taken.
  • (Note: Lefeng Pagoda is a renowned ancient pagoda known for its scenic beauty.)
• However, after lunch, everything changed abruptly when we were forcefully led to 'ZheDa Tea Polyphenols' (浙大茶多酚), a coercive shopping site where tourists are pressured into purchasing overpriced tea products. Though the name suggests a connection to Zhejiang University, this place is primarily oriented towards tourist purchases.
  • (Note: "ZheDa Tea Polyphenols" sounds like a Zhejiang University research product but often refers to high-priced tea selling hotspots aimed solely at tourists.)

Warning: Coercive Purchasing Situations

• A severe matter occurred when no one from our group decided to buy anything at this teas store, resulting in salespeople and guides secretly insulting us in dialect (dialect spoken among Hangzhou locals), referring to us as "waste" or "garbage." Thankfully, one of the group aunts could understand their language.

• Furthermore, while headed to Lingyin Temple on the way from the shop, our guides continued with the pressure tactics, constantly urging us to purchase more items such as saying "you must consume", "don't buy just a little". They even went onto mention other tour groups had car accident fatalities in an attempt to scare tourists into purchasing.

  • (Note: Lingyin Temple (灵隐寺, Lingyin Temple) is one of Hangzhou's most famous ancient temples. )

• One kind aunt within the group tried to express her concern, which resulted in being verbally taunted by the tour guide during the journey, making the atmosphere extremely intimidating due to this event.

• When arriving outside Lingyin Temple, the mood on the vehicle became terribly frightening. Out of fear, I decided to leave earlier without entering the temple on my own.

  • Additional Note: Loss of personal safety and financial losses

• The guide refused to refund the entrance fee of Lingyin Temple that I had already paid for earlier.

• When informing him that I was leaving, he even taunted me with the implications of "missing out on good luck," "be cautious about bad luck" - this made me speechlessly annoyed.

  • (Good Fortune (福气, fúqi) signifies positive blessing whereas Bad Luck (倒霉, dǎoméi) alludes to misfortune. These traditional Chinese ideas are part of the beliefs held locally.)

In conclusion, it is best to avoid tour groups as much as possible and explore personally. This unfortunate experience has left me with great distress.

To add on, though our alleged "Fortune-bringer" (Guide自称“吉祥”, self-styled as Auspicious/Lucky). At first, I thought he was a decently pleasant person, but as the day went on on the road, the only feeling I had from him was fearful…

Have you considered the time? The last subway from Pudong Airport departs at 10:30 PM. Besides, her taxi ride was only 15 minutes, likely just to Chuansha. The late-night airport shuttle's first stop is already Longyang Road, so what other option is there besides a taxi in that situation?

To see the cats.

It's actually my first time going.

Basically, they're just scamming curious folks who aren't short on cash.

Hudong in the Industrial Park... it's ridiculously crowded... Within a 3km radius, there are five or six elementary schools, all with more than ten classes per grade. Dongshahu School even has over 20 classes per grade!

Regarding the e-scooters, as a Guangzhou local, I have to agree, they're a mess. Even my friend visiting from the US for a week was shocked by how they dart around chaotically. But saying Guangzhou's food isn't as good as Shanghai's? That's where I absolutely disagree! As someone who also travels to Shanghai frequently for business, even with meal budgets over 1000 RMB per person, I have to say, the food there often isn't great! It's so sweet, I worry about getting diabetes! Guangzhou's food scene caters to all budgets: you can get an authentic bowl of fish ball noodles from a time-honored stall for 10 RMB, or a luxurious Cantonese meal for 1000 RMB – it has everything. Moreover, in Guangzhou, and even across Guangdong, if there's even one person at the table who speaks Mandarin, everyone, regardless of age or how poor their Mandarin is, will try their best to speak it. In Shanghai, they just speak Shanghainese whether you understand or not, as if it's your fault for not understanding their dialect!

I don't get why ride-hailing is hard. Usually, I use Ruqi, and for 7-seaters, Gaode or Didi. Locals avoid the 'deathly' Line 3. Many internet-famous spots are actually terrible; locals don't go there.
