When traveling, you will inevitably encounter some deceptive attractions.

The five famous scenic spots mentioned in this issue have all been widely criticized by tourists.

They have a bad reputation, and people who have been there say they will not go there again.

Let’s take a look. Have you ever been to one?

1. Da Ci'en Temple in Xi'an

Da Ci'en Temple

It was built by Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty to store classics. It is the famous landmark building in Xi'an - the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It's inside Daci'en Temple.

The entire scenic spot is actually not big. The ticket costs 50 yuan and can be visited in less than an hour. The only attraction is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. If you want to go up there, you have to pay an additional 20 yuan.

But the best place to go here is actually at night. The main thing to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is to see the night view. There is a free musical fountain outside the Daci'en Temple at night. Therefore, if you want to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, wait until night and just look outside. There are also free fountains to see, so there is no need to buy tickets during the day.

Tickets:

RMB 50 in peak season/RMB 40 in off-season

Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province.

2. Xiling Snow Mountain in Chengdu

Xiling Snow Mountain

is a world natural heritage and the habitat of giant pandas. In addition to ski resorts, the scenic area also has more than 10 ice and snow recreation projects such as snowmobiles and dog sledding.

The current Xiling Snow Mountain is completely commercialized. There is no place for tourists to move around freely. As long as there is a little space, they are enclosed and charged, and the price is expensive. The cheapest item costs 30 yuan per person. Places without entertainment projects are left empty and tourists are not allowed to play in the snow.

Purchasing tickets for Xiling Snow Mountain is slow, and taking the cableway is even slower. Arriving at the visitor center is a mess. I finally waited in line for an hour to buy a ticket. I had to wait for more than an hour to take the cableway. Most of the time there and back. Standing stupidly.

In addition, tickets and ropeway fees cost 240 yuan, both of which must be purchased. Even if you spend 240 yuan on tickets and cableway fees to go up there, but you don’t have to pay a penny, you can only walk on the limited road to see the snow, and the scenery is average.

3. Sailimu Lake, Xinjiang

Sailimu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains, with vast grasslands beside the lake and clear blue water. The best visiting season is June and July every year, when the grasslands around the lake are filled with wild flowers of all colors.

But since August 29, 2018, private cars are no longer allowed to enter the scenic spot, and only the east gate and north gate of the scenic spot have scenic shuttle buses. The beautiful south gate can only be entered on foot. Likewise, Most people can only take a look at the 70 yuan ticket at the door.

In addition, the scenic spot is very large and it is impossible to visit it on foot. Therefore, you must take the shuttle bus inside the bus. You must go to each of the 15 scenic spots. The parking is 20 minutes and the fare is 70 yuan/person.

In order to develop this scenic spot, various roads have been blocked, adding at least 200 kilometers to the journey, and private cars are not allowed to enter, so this place is no longer suitable for self-driving. It is recommended that self-driving travelers not consider Sailimu Lake as a destination.

4. Luoyang Baiyun Mountain

Luoyang Baiyun Mountain

is a natural virgin forest. At present, the park has initially formed a basic tourism service system. Among them, Yuhuangding is the highest peak in the Central Plains and is a good place to watch the sunrise and the sea of ??clouds.

But there are three things that tourists complain about most here. First, the ticket price is too expensive, and the ticket plus transportation to the scenic spot costs 145 yuan; second, the management of the scenic spot is chaotic. The scenic spot is still 15 kilometers away from the ticket gate. It costs 60 yuan to take the transportation in the scenic spot. There is no one to manage it, and it is crowded when getting on the bus. Thirdly, the scenic spot itself has no special features and the scenery is average. It is just a Yuhuangding, and the cable car to the Yuhuangding The fee is 100 yuan, and you can only go to the middle of the mountain, and then you have to walk up the steps for an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

75 yuan

5. Guilin Xiangshan Scenic Area

Xiangshan Scenic Area

With Elephant Trunk Mountain as the main body, it is regarded as the representative of Guilin's landscape and the symbol of Guilin City.

The image of Elephant Trunk Mountain often appears as the city emblem of Guilin, and it is the deepest impression many people have on Guilin. But now this place has become more commercialized. After buying a ticket and entering, you can see the entire elephant trunk at a glance. It is at best a small park in the city.

The locals also planted a lot of trees to block the peripheral sight, but in fact, you can vaguely see Elephant Trunk Mountain outside the scenic area, so there is no need to buy tickets to go in and take a photo of Elephant Mountain.

There are also bamboo rafts on the riverside in the scenic area, which cost 50 yuan per person. The bamboo raft just took us to a convenient place to take pictures and then brought us back, and it was very close! I walked around the entire scenic spot in less than an hour and came out. If you are pressed for time, there is no need to go in.
