Preface
Due to the differences in culture and geography in each country, both the customs and natural landscapes are very different, which also makes many people choose to travel abroad.
However, due to various reasons, these countries often "show face" to Chinese tourists who come from afar, and sometimes they are even turned away, and the phenomenon of stealing customers and making things difficult is even more frequent.
But even so, there are still many Chinese tourists who yearn for it and are willing to send them "warmth".
Japan
Although Japan is not a big place, it has a lot of rules.
And some Chinese tourists will inevitably make "mistakes" because they don't know the local rules.
This also leads to some local residents being very disgusted with Chinese tourists, because Japan is a small place, which also leads to their narrow roads, and our group tours often affect the local traffic.
For example, some time ago, Mt. Fuji attracted many tourists to take pictures, but this affected the local life.
Japan came up with a "clever trick" and built a shady curtain to cover up the best check-in spots.
In addition, Japan has very strict requirements for hygiene, and the separation of dry and wet is only a basic operation, and tourists in the past will often be disgusted because of the problem of littering, and they throw "garbage" into the sea with small courtesy and no righteousness.
And because of the influence of national hatred and family hatred, some of our tourists will inevitably accidentally pop up some things that are not good for them, and some Japanese people say that we pay too much attention to history and are not friendly to them.
In fact, the arrangement of textbooks in Japan does not follow the facts, and some history is often falsified, resulting in the public not understanding the real history.
As a result, when surveying their views on China, the majority of the Japanese masses did not welcome China, but instead thought that we had encroached on their territory.
Because in their elementary school textbooks, they regard "Diaoyu Dao" as their own territory, which is really ridiculous.
But even so, Japan's scenery and culture still attract many Chinese tourists, such as Japan's Mt. Fuji and some of Hokkaido's scenery.
In addition, some people have been influenced by Japanese culture and have stood on the opposite side of our people, and there have been many cases of dancing in kimonos in public.
Korea
Because of its proximity to our country, South Korea has also become the first choice for many Chinese tourists to travel abroad, and many Korean goods have also stimulated people to spend.
But even though our tourism has led to the growth of the local economy, they have shown that they are disgusted and not grateful.
And the most famous is the possessiveness of Korea, whatever it is in the mouth of the Korean people becomes their thing.
Like some traditional Chinese festivals have become their festivals in their eyes, such as the recent "Dragon Boat Festival", which they shamelessly applied for in the world.
You must know that many of the earliest cultures in South Korea came from the mainland, and this makes them often claim that they belong to them, and this cognitive bias of culture also affects the friendship between the two people.
Chinese tourists are often treated unequally when they visit South Korea, and Chinese who enter the country have been asked to bring signs to distinguish between them.
In order to distinguish it from tourists from other countries, so as to make it different, whether it is the cost of playing or the processing of documents, it is difficult.
And their beauty, clothing and other goods still attract countless Chinese to buy, and the door-to-door business South Korea will certainly not refuse, but also raise the price to "cut leeks".
In addition, when you go to South Korea to travel in a group, you are often forced to spend, and travel agencies often mark the price very low, but when you set foot in South Korea, you can't help but make your own decisions.
Often, the tour guide will take you directly to a special place to spend money, and the all-you-can-see Seoul becomes a shopping mall in Seoul.
Just a few days are all spent on consumption, the scenery is not seen, but a lot of money is spent, if you refuse to spend there, you will be thrown into a place where you are not familiar with life.
Moreover, the South Korean people are also full of discrimination and antipathy against Chinese tourists, and often express some objections on social platforms.
Their mass satisfaction survey on China showed results that most people did not like.
As we all know, compared with the major cuisines in the mainland, Korean cuisine is significantly very thin, after all, it is really unacceptable to serve kimchi as the main dish.
Although the ingredients are very simple, they can't bear the high price, and many people want to taste the local food, but find that it costs a lot to eat a meal, which is not worth it.
In the previous Winter Olympics, they questioned Chinese food and felt that it was not to their taste.
Singapore
Although Singapore is the country with the largest number of Chinese immigrants, it is ironic that it is often unfriendly to Chinese tourists.
Because they boast of their socio-economic leadership, they have an arrogant attitude, and many netizens who have been there have also expressed their opinions.
Despite sharing the same skin color, they are still treated unfairly, as a previous blogger shared his experience, and this kind of humiliation against Chinese people is not only infuriating.
Chinese tourists are often treated unfairly at some of the attractions they visit, as was the case at the Singapore Airshow in February, where Chinese and Russian tourists were not allowed to visit.
The distinction in treatment, which was not explicitly refused, but which was privately instructed by staff members to verify their nationality, was clearly not in line with the norm.
Many Chinese tourists visit every year, which drives the growth of the local economy, but due to some historical reasons, the ideas of some Singaporeans have become deeply rooted.
And then some arrogant behavior towards the Chinese tourists who came to visit, but this did not affect the tourists' desire to visit here.
epilogue
China has a huge population base, and with the development of the economy, our spiritual needs are increasing, and travel has always been a good way to relax.
This has made some of the surrounding countries "good places" for us, but they are not friendly to Chinese tourists except for keeping an eye on your wallet.
Therefore, we should also do a good job of understanding when choosing to travel abroad and bring ourselves a perfect travel experience.
