On this side, from Wutai Mountain to Beiyue Hengshan, from the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon Baquan Gorge to Taiyuan Zoo, various scenic spots are frequently complained about by tourists.

Over there, Taiyuan Taishan Scenic Area distributes mineral water and popsicles to tourists who queue for a long time for free, all parking spaces in Yuci District of Jinzhong City are free, and the Yuanping Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government promise that the city's attractions will not charge tickets, scenic parking will not be charged, and the city's hotels will not increase prices, which has been applauded by tourists!

A recent investigation by a reporter from the "Rule of Law Daily" found that tourists had mixed opinions about the scenic spots in Shanxi during the May Day holiday.

"If hundreds of people line up, only one ticket window will be opened, and tickets bought online cannot be recognized on the spot." During May Day, this operation of Taiyuan Zoo made many tourists "overwhelmed".

"From the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic spot, it is actually 3.2 kilometers to walk, and there is a free bus parked on the side of the road, but it is said that the flow limit is not allowed."

"Tickets purchased online on site take two hours to take effect, and you also need to queue for two hours to exchange for paper tickets to enter the scenic spot."

Located in Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, the Baquan Gorge Scenic Area in the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon has been complained by a large number of tourists, and has been queuing since entering the scenic spot, from queuing for two hours to get tickets to queuing for two hours to take the elevator, and then from queuing for two hours to waiting for the bus to go down...

And Beiyue Hengshan, located in Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province, was also complained that "time is spent in queuing". In addition, Beiyue Hengshan was also complained by tourists that the shuttle bus charged 5 yuan for a total of 20 kilometers round trip, and "the rice is expensive and unpalatable".

The attractions that have been complained about the high cost of rice are far more than Hengshan Mountain Area, and Wutai Mountain, located in Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, has also been complained by netizens many times, with a plate of scrambled eggs for 48 yuan and a small plate of beef for 68 yuan, which is really difficult for some tourists to accept.

Wutai Mountain View Area was complained about more than just the problem of meals. In the face of tourists who arrive at Wutai Mountain with a devout heart, the price difference between the incense offerings and wishing lamps sold by the merchants is as much as 30 times, and when the tourists "spend a lot of money" to buy incense, they are only told by the staff that they are not allowed to bring in when they arrive at the temple.

In addition, the Wutai Mountain View Area was also exposed: some traders used smelly synthetic meat to pass off as "roast chicken", mixed alcohol was sold to tourists as "tribute wine", and after arriving at the mountaintop temple, they were told that "tribute" was not allowed.

In response to the chaos in the scenic spots complained by tourists, the reporter contacted several representative scenic spots.

The reporter called the Baquan Gorge Scenic Area located in the Grand Canyon of Taihang Mountain, and the staff of the scenic complaint hotline explained that "tourists walk 3.2 kilometers from the parking lot to the exit of the scenic spot" as: "Some tourists can't bear it and can't wait." ”

The staff member said that there are many parking lots in the scenic area and the flow of people is large, so it is necessary to limit the flow. The scenic area will make tourists who arrive at the parking lot wait for free buses to pick up tourists to the scenic area, "but many individual tourists can't wait, and we can't manage it."

Regarding the "problem of queuing for two hours to get a paper ticket", the staff explained that the tickets booked online include boats, one-way ropeways, one-way elevators and round-trip battery car fees, and must be exchanged for paper tickets and punched holes in every place.

To the question that tickets can only be used after two hours of online booking, the staff member replied: "There are clear tips online. ”

Faced with the problem of "large gap in the price of tribute incense" in the Wutai Mountain View Area, the staff of the Comprehensive Office of the Wutaishan Management Committee said that when public opinion appeared, the "Leading Working Group for the Special Rectification Action of Tourism Market Order" had been established as soon as possible to ban the shops involved, and at the same time carried out a comprehensive inventory of all shops in the Wutai Mountain View Area, and all rectification has been completed.

For the problem of "tribute chicken" smell and "tribute wine" fake, Wutai Mountain View Area has removed all relevant items from the shelves and sent them for testing, and the staff said: "It is not allowed to continue to sell until the test results come out." ”

For the problem of expensive meals, the local market supervision bureau in Wutaishan has required all restaurants to clearly mark the price. According to the staff, no similar complaints have been received since the rectification was completed.

In Shanxi, although some scenic spots are constantly complaining, there are also many heart-warming scenic spots that are praised by tourists.

Located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, the Taishan Scenic Area also starts at 3 hours at the entrance due to the large number of tourists, but the mood of tourists is not so bad because of the queue, because the Taishan Scenic Area intimately distributes free and unlimited mineral water and old popsicles to tourists.

Mr. Wang, a tourist, said: "Seeing the staff handing out water and ice cream, the depressed mood of queuing was swept away, and the good mood of the festival came again. ”

In addition to the Taishan Mountain Area, Yuanping City, Shanxi Province also held a press conference on the first day of the May Day holiday, promising that during the May Day event: no admission fees will be charged to tourist attractions in the city; There are no parking fees for parking lots in scenic spots in the city; All hotels and inns in the city will not increase room rates; All business sites in the city shall not have the situation of slaughtering customers.

The Yuci District of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province announced that all parking spaces in Yuci District are free of charge, and tourists are welcome to travel to Yuci. (Rule of Law Daily)
