Wenxin views the world, and the world gathers Wenxin. Hello everyone, welcome to Wenxin's channel
【Today's Headlines International】These 3 countries that do not welcome Chinese are all disgusted and written on their faces, but Chinese want to go!
With the opening of the country and the holding of passports, the hearts of our Chinese tourists have also flown to the world. 157 countries are exempt from visas, and travel is no longer our dream. But there are so many countries that make our money, but they dislike us very much, and they don't give a good face when they go.
When we cross borders, we are not always greeted with friendliness and smiles. Even among those countries that have signed a visa waiver agreement with China, some countries are playing a "smiling knife" drama. On the one hand, they open their doors to welcome the flood of spending power of Chinese tourists, but on the other hand, they hide chilling prejudice and injustice. Today, the editor will take you to unveil this layer of "plastic friendship" and see which countries are "full of food and scolding cooks, and beating monks after reciting scriptures".
South Korea: The cold face behind the daigou paradise
When it comes to neighborhood travel, South Korea is always a popular choice.
The cosmetics and medical beauty and plastic surgery there seem to be a dream paradise specially tailored for our women. According to data from August last year, the number of Chinese tourists visiting South Korea totaled 168,000, ranking second among foreign tourists visiting South Korea. (The total number of people going to South Korea is only more than 900,000)
But this enthusiasm was exchanged for a "yellow card warning" at the airport?
Dedicated channel for Chinese?
Imagine that when we get off the plane, everyone else is free, but we have a yellow card around our necks, as if we have been labeled as "special care".
Only the Chinese have to wear yellow signs
Why is that? It is to quickly identify which Chinese are, and then let you go straight to the high-priced nucleic acid test, which costs 80,000 won at a time, which is equivalent to more than 400 yuan, which is ten times more expensive than in China! This is welcome! It's just a "clear robbery"!
What's even more chilling is that we have done a good job of epidemic prevention in China, but when we arrived in South Korea, we were treated as virus carriers.
With such a differential treatment, it is no wonder that our country has suspended short-term visas in South Korea, and also requires Korean nationals to enter fingerprints when entering China, we have to protect the dignity of our own family, right?
In addition to this discrimination just after getting off the plane, Chinese who go to South Korea to buy cosmetics and travel are also regarded as "fat sheep" by Koreans. Many Chinese tourists have experienced a mental journey from expectation to disappointment, and have become an out-and-out "wronged leader".
In Seoul's bustling business districts, some attractive duty-free shops and trendy shops often have hidden hidden prices, and foreign tourists, especially Chinese tourists, are subject to a "watch the dishes" pricing strategy.
Even the catering industry has no shortage of "ripping off customers". Some restaurants do not indicate the price on the menu or use Korean to indicate it, and only recommend "special set menus" for Chinese tourists, only to find out that the price is surprising at the checkout.
What's even more excessive is that there are restaurants in South Korea that are specifically aimed at Chinese tour groups, and all the ingredients sold to us are expired!
In some tourist attractions, taxi drivers deliberately take long detours, refuse to be metered, or ask for high fares on the grounds of language barriers.
Even the basic service experience often makes Chinese tourists feel treated differently. Some tourists have reported that when checking in to hotels or tickets to scenic spots, they have set extra verification steps for Chinese tourists, while they are relatively lenient for tourists from other countries, and this invisible discrimination is uncomfortable.
Pictured above are several Chinese tourists on a group tour, but when the tour guide asked for shopping, they were ruthlessly thrown out of the car, and the group ended up stranded on the road for a full 2 hours, unable to even eat.
Korean netizens' messages to us
The picture above is what Korean netizens think of us.
Japan: Cold Words in the Face of Cultural Charm
After talking about South Korean BZ, let's turn our heads and look at another neighbor, Japan, cherry blossoms, sushi, and anime in Japanese culture, which one is not exciting! But the heart is heartbeat, and you won't find out until you go that there is a thorn behind the smiling face.
Look at these words of Japanese politicians, it makes people angry when they hear it, what "drink nuclear wastewater first, and then taste Fukushima seafood", isn't this a joke about our health!
There are also individual businesses on the streets of Japan, directly hanging out Fukushima food "exclusively for Chinese", isn't this a clear bully? What's even more excessive is that some small books still love to buckle our hats, saying that we are of low quality and throw garbage. But the problem is that there are no garbage cans on the streets of Japan, and we can't be sure who threw the garbage, so why is it up to us?
It turns out that in the logic of the Japanese, it doesn't matter who throws the garbage, the key is that as long as you can rely on the Chinese.
Clever! Small book! All he hates is your people! What is not disliked is the amazing spending power of the Chinese, and in order to attract Chinese tourists to travel and shop, Japan's National Tourism Organization has vigorously promoted the charm of Japan.
But when you go to Japan, you will be treated the same as in Korea, except that you will bring a yellow brand to South Korea and a white brand when you go to Japan.
is disgusted like this, our people are still willing to run to a small book, all kinds of shopping, all kinds of consumption. This kind of behavior makes the Japanese more unscrupulous and even gives them delusions! It is not possible to decide that the Chinese can leave their goods.
Vietnam: The "gold-sucking" trap behind the smiley face
Speaking of Vietnam, do you think it's just a scam-stricken area in Southeast Asia? Wrong! For Chinese tourists, that's really a "special taste".
In front of the store, the sign of "Chinese do not enter" is hanging brightly, and the price of goods is "watching people put dishes on the plate".
If you take a tricycle, you can be ripped off, and you have to pay a "tip" obediently, otherwise the electric shock rod will be served, who will not tremble when you hear this? Vietnam has a unique standard for asking Chinese for tipping, and they have learned a special sentence in Chinese for this purpose, shouting that Chinese must tip 10 yuan.
You don't believe it? In 2016, some compatriots were violently confronted for refusing to tip.
Where is this Vietnam tourism, it is simply a "Vietnam adventure"!
Epilogue:
Therefore, the editor said that some countries are "full of food and scolding cooks, and beating monks after reciting scriptures", now everyone knows it, right? We must not only have fun when we go out, but also have a good time, and don't let those unkind countries treat us as the wronged ones. Let those countries that don't know how to respect know that the money of Chinese tourists is not so easy to earn!
