What scams did you encounter while traveling?

One year I went to Sichuan with some friends, and then I went to a plateau in northwest Sichuan. Before going to the plateau, sitting on the bus, the driver kept reminding us: "The plateau is more than 4,000 meters. Those who have never been to the plateau don't know if you have altitude sickness. It's super cold on the plateau! If you get sick with a cold, you won't get better! People will die! So if you don't have a cotton-padded jacket, get off and buy it! "

Scared by him, almost all the passengers on the bus got off to buy cotton-padded jackets. There are just many booths selling cotton-padded jackets. Those cotton-padded jackets are all inferior cotton-padded jackets, and the styles are particularly ugly! Still expensive to go against the sky! We took a few deep breaths and finally gritted our teeth and bought one, telling ourselves that we would spend money to eliminate the disaster.

The car arrived at the plateau, the plateau was high, the altitude was high, the clouds were thin, and the ultraviolet rays were fierce. It was true that the sun was sunny, but we didn't feel cold until the evening we left! The lowest temperature is still more than 20 degrees. It is really "super cold". Looking at those embarrassing cotton-padded jackets, several people want to cry.

Another thing happened on the plateau.

We saw some Tibetans selling Dendrobium huoshanense, and a friend asked the price. The seemingly honest Tibetans said, "Six dollars". We were all surprised at the price. Just a few people took some, which added up to about a catty. Then he helped us grind Dendrobium huoshanense into powder. When paying, he calculated and said, "A * * * is 3030, and I will charge you 3000."

What? 3000? Isn't it six yuan a catty?

Too young and too simple! Somebody else 126 yuan, 500 yuan, a catty is 3,000 yuan!

We said, "We are just students, and we don't have 3,000 yuan at all."

When the other party saw that we didn't want it, they called a few Tibetans who were selling various things nearby, surrounded us, and said that they wouldn't let us go if they didn't buy it. Moreover, our car was about to leave, and the driver was watching a drama in the distance.

So the stalemate came down. Finally, the two sides compromised, and we only bought 1000, and several people went back to crush this garbage! A thousand dollars, more than a hundred quarters. . . It's a packet of ultra-small powder. . . . . . Heartache.

This incident has a particularly profound impact on us. At that time, we seldom went out to play and had no experience, so we were cheated by others. If we insist on not buying those Dendrobium huoshanense, I wonder if they will really treat these tourists well. The Tibetans I met there were really of average quality, but I didn't see how pious they were. Deception is a set of things. The behavior is quite outrageous, making people afraid to look.
