Disappointment in Chengdu

A half-day trip to Dujiangyan... (I feel like the value for money is extremely low, and it's all over-hyped online, which is quite disappointing. The weather was scorching hot 🥵, so if you're planning to bring your kids, think twice! )

Transportation

The development of tourism here doesn't match the promotion on short-video platforms. If you live in the urban area of Chengdu, you can take a train from Xipu Station to Lidui Park Station or Dujiangyan Station! (There are more trains to Dujiangyan Station, but fewer to Lidui Park Station, leaving you with limited options.) However, once you get off the train, there are tons of touts (be cautious)! You can choose to take a taxi via Didi (it's available). The station construction is relatively simple; during the summer, it gets extremely hot inside, except for the entrance area which is somewhat cooler.

Short-video platforms promote the scenic spots extensively, but the reality is not as advertised. The entrance ticket costs 80 yuan, and there's a lot of walking involved. With the hot weather, it's exhausting. The first part of the route has very few plants, just dry heat. There are sightseeing vehicles, but the queues are extremely long (the scenic area could increase the frequency of these vehicles to reduce waiting times).

The main attraction is the water conservancy project. I felt that the tourist services in the park were inadequate; there were no maps provided, and very few signposts, making it unfriendly for independent travelers. There is a QR code within the park for audio guides (although it says "free," you actually have to pay after scanning, which feels like a scam).

Prices Inside the Park

(One word: Expensive, not worth it ) It's almost as expensive as theme parks in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. A bottle of mineral water that usually costs 1 yuan is sold for 10 yuan here (if possible, bring your own water bottles). But you won't receive service comparable to that of Disneyland.

Nearby Transportation

This also doesn't match the development of the local tourism industry. Only Didi and unofficial taxis are available.

一个班里的学习委员多是容易招黑的

I was just in Chongqing a few days ago. Firstly, if you choose to visit Chongqing, you should know it's a mountain city, right? A quick online search would show everyone saying it's all about climbing hills and endless stairs. You can't apply a flat-city mentality to Chongqing and then blame the city for it. Secondly, about those 'influencer hotspots' – didn't you look them up online beforehand to see what they're about? It's clear from platforms like Xiaohongshu that places like Guanyinqiao and Raffles City are mainly for photo ops. If you don't like that, you could have just skipped them. It's baffling to go to such places and then complain; there are plenty of other attractions. Plus, I think it's completely normal for locals to speak their dialect. I love hearing it, and many locals were incredibly friendly and helpful, giving directions precisely because they knew we were visitors. I genuinely love Chongqing.

九寨黄龙刚回来，在小红书找的成都中旅鼓楼分社的团，真的很坑，大家注意，小红书里成都中旅什么分社的都是大坑，入了你就知道了，乱收费，一路导游都在拿早年地震pua你，购物点你不买就是不支持当地扶贫建设，良心大大的坏…我看这些旅游公司和导游才是坏…为挣钱不择手段！行业没有规范，没诚信！

我也是第四五天就开始非常想回家，真的巨失望

我这里极度推荐内蒙古自驾游，因为内蒙古旅游团大多数都不正规，我们报的是蒙悠然旅行社，但跟我们核对信息的是盛祥国际旅行社，最后跟我们签合同的确实草原春秋旅行社。旅行社都是这样，互相转让游客。最重要的是，我们花费2000元报团，但同行的只需要1400元，差价高达42%，投诉旅行社，会把#我的日常 你的电话记录下来，后续全部挂掉。
解决不了问题，就解决提出问题的途径。
你可能会说向旅游局举报，但内蒙古旅游局是不管事的，我提交上去的投诉，除非主席信箱，否则等了2天都没有处理。
建议去内蒙古就自驾游，内蒙古旅游团都是骗子，官方都是不做事的，不要心存侥幸。

你说什么都行 别说羊肉

那该几月去？细说怎么玩

首先大理只是四五线小城市，跟县城差不多，我几乎没听过哪个城市县城有地铁，其次我们本地人也打不到车，因为游客太多，平时还是很好打车的，也不会堵车，这几天出门来看好多外地车，乱停乱放导致交通堵塞，四川车最多，昨天晚上直接把车停到南门花坛边的小道上，把路都堵住了。建议淡季来，旺季人太多了体验感也不好。大理的店铺几乎都是外地人开的，普通话不标准的才是本地人。喜洲最近没有麦田，因为比较季节性，大理古城逛一下就可以，去看洱海S湾人很多，可以去心邸咖啡那边租自行车顺着生态栈道慢慢看风景。

我期待的草原，真的是太失望了！去之前报了当地团，因为没有了解内蒙古这个地方分为东北和西南两边，于是就大失所望，但是已经给了钱，都到了那个地方了，也没有办法！所以全靠一颗好的心态玩了四天！马上撤退！大家想去草原的，不要因为听旅行团说什么呼和浩特的草比呼伦贝尔的草更青这类的话，都是忽悠人的！可能价格上，呼伦贝尔比较高，但是听劝，既然出去玩就不要为了省钱去呼和浩特了！几乎附近的所有景点都不在呼市，都是想隔很远的！大家有不懂的可以问我！

第一次去建议大家可以报个自由tuan，不用自己做功略，我报的那个就是领对就带着我们几个人玩，好爽，不会踩坑，而且比自己玩的便宜太多了

都一样，我们没贪便宜，报的团也是三个购物，第一个是娘当村，我们团有个女的给她儿子买的银碗银梳子的估计得花了1.5万+，导游就没功夫搭理我们了，都赔笑她们去了，然后是天珠，导游开始说她会飞机出事，多亏天珠防灾，后来去个卖天珠的地方，整个大喇嘛还算命。然后让你买，排排队，一家一家的上去给你算命，但凡脸皮薄的就买了，我们团好多买的。然后就是藏药馆一对一的，给你看，不过还好年轻的学生，我们不买就不说啥了，有买的。我们是跟团了7天，然后我领着我爸，我姑娘自己又玩了大半个月，去了墨脱，日喀则，拉萨博物馆，自己玩的开心，在拉萨吃饭，住宿贵，出行我们都是公交车。

这家我是真吃过，去黄兴玩一定要冲！！！干饭人香晕了

红榜：1.中山路和沙坡尾都很好逛，吃的超级多，可以找一些小馆子吃吃，本地人开的价格便宜，味道还好
2.购买特产可以到八市去买，那边价格比其他地方都便宜，是本地人购买东西的市场
3.住宿选择住在中山路（图4），到哪里也都方便的很
4.环海路(图1)无需打车或者坐观光车，29路公交车1元从头逛到尾。
5.集美学村值得一去，1号线感受海上列车，赏跨海大桥，集美学村地铁站出口处有行李寄存箱，出去就是十里长堤，欣赏跨海大桥很壮观
6.厦门大学一定要提前3天预约一个了（每天8:00，12:00，16:00放两天后的入校名额），不然就满额约不到入校
雷区：1.对于攻略不太到位的小伙伴千万不要相信有些本地人建议你去坐船出海，感觉他们都是托儿，让你打车到购买船票的地方，然后有所谓的观光车（其实啥也不是，就是普通面包车带你到港口去坐船），票价很贵。如果想乘船出海，可以自己在抖音或者美团一些平台搜索团购，价格便宜的很（比如店里售价98的帆船价格，线上19.9；另一个11人的船票价168，线上88.8）。这些都是和船上小伙伴聊天发现的，我们都是被环海路上的本地人忽悠过来的，本来也是没有坐船出海的计划。
2.购买特产一定要狠狠的讲价，八市那边的价格要远低于其他地方。我在集美买了姜母鸭要我45一盒，后来到中山路发现一模一样的品牌都只卖18元一盒(图3)，50元3盒，所以最便宜的都在八市，不管姜母鸭还是其他酥饼海产品很多都50元3件，谨记不要被坑！！！

有其他问题的小伙伴可以问，刚逛完厦门，目前对一些线路和地方还清楚一些。
