Now, in order to increase tourism performance, many cities will build an "ancient town" in the local area, and the antique buildings are built very beautifully, which can attract many tourists to come, drive local consumption, and then increase tourism performance.
Under normal circumstances, there is no need to charge an entrance fee to enter the ancient town, and tourists can take photos at will in the ancient town. But what people didn't expect was that a netizen took pictures in the ancient town of Dongguan and was driven away.
What happened
On May 13, a netizen posted a video about his terrible experience in an ancient village in Dongguan.
This netizen is a photographer who took a fancy to Xixi Ancient Village in Dongguan and wanted to bring his friends here to take pictures. Unexpectedly, what happened in the ancient village made him angry.
It stands to reason that as long as you don't hire a local photographer, you shouldn't be charged to take pictures in ancient towns or villages. However, when the netizen and his party came to the ancient village, they were driven away by the local security guards and were not allowed to take pictures here.
Netizens said that they were not taking pictures commercially, but they were still driven away by security guards. Judging from the video, the attitude of the security guard was particularly poor, and he directly asked the security guard to drive the netizens out, giving people the feeling that the ancient village was opened by his family.
Netizens were very dissatisfied with this, so they asked each other: "This is yours?" ”
Unexpectedly, the other party was not afraid at all, and said very arrogantly: "This is my place, you are wild in my place." "Good guy, such a big ancient village, how did it become his place, he talks so wildly, and he is not afraid of flashing to his waist.
According to the netizen concerned, taking pictures of any nature is not allowed.
In other words, as long as you have a camera, you will be driven away by the security guards of the ancient village, which is too domineering.
If tourists want to take pictures, they must find someone in the ancient village to help take pictures, and each person charges 80 yuan. This high price is too outrageous, in the past, taking pictures in the scenic spot, with a photo frame is forty or fifty looks, eighty yuan is really daring.
This kind of unreasonable charging behavior, the sense of experience is really poor, and the impact on the local tourism industry is huge. After watching this netizen's video, I don't have the idea of going to this ancient village anyway.
Netizens broke the news about the real reason
Obviously, the ancient village is definitely not owned by one person, but why is the man in the video still charging for a fee?
Again, the root cause of the conflict is interests. It turned out that these people who drove people opened a Hanfu shop in the ancient village, thinking that tourists with cameras would steal their business, so they drove them all away mercilessly.
Other photographers can also take pictures here, but they need to pay 18,000 a year, otherwise they are not allowed to take pictures in the ancient village. Even if netizens call the police, it is useless, and people are not afraid at all.
To be honest, I don't really believe that a group of people who can only drive people away can do good things like makeup and photographing.
I don't know if I rob the business or not, at least I'm in the ancient town, and I won't look for this kind of shop to take pictures. Even if you can't use a camera, even if you use a mobile phone, you won't go to these stores to take pictures.
The staff of the scenic spot responded
According to the response of the staff of the ancient village, the commercial auction of the ancient village now has a unified charging standard.
The photo class is 80 yuan for a group, and you can take photos in the ancient village for 5 hours; Wedding dresses are 100 yuan per group, and the time is also 5 hours. If you take a lot of photos, you can apply for an annual card, which costs 18,000 a year, and there is no limit to the number and time of taking pictures.
The description also specifically added that the use of fill lights or tripods is considered commercial profit-making shooting. This means that it is permissible to shoot with only a camera without a fill light or tripod.
Obviously, there was something wrong with several big men driving away netizens and not letting netizens shoot in the ancient village. I don't know how the scenic spot will respond to this, but no matter how it responds, Xixi Ancient Village has left a very bad impression on netizens.
Netizens' opinions
The expulsion of people in Xixi Ancient Village made many netizens feel dissatisfied, and even local netizens in Guangdong couldn't stand it.
You can't help but taunt: "This sky-breaking traffic has finally been received by our ancient village." "It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.
Compared with Zibo, Harbin, Tianshui and other places that exploded, this wave of traffic is not very good for Xixi Ancient Village and Dongguan.
Originally, there were not many people who traveled to Dongguan, and there were even fewer people who went to play during the good holidays, and the efforts of Dongguan Cultural Tourism for a year were in vain.
Write at the end
The behavior of charging fees in ancient towns or villages is completely understandable, but the minimum requirement is to be transparent and reasonable.
People who go out to travel are naturally not bad for these dozens of dollars, but they will care about whether the money is worth it. Obviously, you can take pictures yourself, but if you force a photographer in the scenic spot to take pictures, then the money is not worth it.
If the scenic spot really wants to make money by taking pictures, it is better to improve its own services and impress more tourists with sincerity.
