There are always some scenic spots that are well-known and long-awaited. It seems a pity not to go there once in life, but it is regrettable when you are really in the real world.

1. The Potala Palace: all four are empty

Introduction to attractions: The Potala Palace is located in Lhasa, Tibet, with a long history. According to outside rumors, there are countless and immeasurable jade treasures including gold, murals, magic tools, diamonds, emeralds, relics and other jade treasures.

Play strategy: Tickets for the Potala Palace are 200 yuan in peak season (April-October), and free in off-season (November-March). You need to book tickets online before going, and you need to go through an extremely strict security check process when you enter the park. You are not allowed to bring Lighters and water are not allowed to take pictures after entering the park.

Real experience: "The Potala Palace, all four are empty, and I spent 200 yuan to see it." For ordinary tourists, the Potala Palace is really an unattainable cultural attraction. For ordinary tourists, the cultural relics and Buddha statues inside the Potala Palace simply "do not understand". During the whole visit process, that is to say, being pushed forward by a large group of tourists, climbing up the hill, and finally finished the visit, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I could finally go out and find a place to rest.

Interpretation of scenic spots: Visiting the Potala Palace requires a deep contact with the cultural history of Tibetan Buddhism. Without this foundation, visiting the interior of the Potala Palace is like an illiterate reading in the most extensive and profound library in the world. . Every time I travel to Tibet, I don’t enter the Potala Palace, but observe its appearance on the Potala Palace Square. A layman like me with low cultural literacy can't understand the historical relics inside the Potala Palace, and can only be fascinated by its sacred and magnificent appearance.

2. The Great Wall: You are not a hero if you do not go to the Great Wall, but it is a pity to go to the Great Wall

Introduction to scenic spots: The Great Wall is the first military defense project in ancient times and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. From Hebei to Xinjiang, it spans 15 provinces and regions, with a total length of 21,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to the length of ten 318 Sichuan-Tibet lines.

Play strategy: The ticket for the Great Wall is 40 yuan in peak season (April-October), and 35 yuan in off-season (November-March). It is mainly divided into hiking and sightseeing.

Real experience: "If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, but if you go to the Great Wall, it is a pity." From the beginning of the scenery seen at the moment of climbing the Great Wall, the scenery after that is the same. Traffic jams, crowds, strong ultraviolet rays, and blind scenery have caused people to regret the Great Wall.

Interpretation of scenic spots: Climbing the Great Wall itself is a tiring process. In addition, the Great Wall is usually crowded with people, and there is no shelter under the scorching sun in summer. It is really difficult to experience the fun of visiting "one of the seven wonders of the world". But when you come to Beijing, don’t you even take a look at the Great Wall?

3. Daocheng Yading: If you don’t regret it, you will regret it even more

Introduction to attractions: Daocheng Yading is located in Daocheng County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, which is next door to Ding Zhen's hometown. (Ding Zhen’s hometown is located in Litang County, which is adjacent to Daocheng County. Chengdu will pass through Litang when going to Daocheng.) Daocheng Yading has a series of reverie reputations: "the last piece of pure land on the water-blue planet" , "The Last Shangri-La", "Soul of Shangri-La"...

Tour guide: Daocheng Yading Scenic Spot tickets are 150 yuan, sightseeing car tickets are 120 yuan, plus 80 yuan for battery cars in the scenic spot, the actual tickets total 350 yuan. Daocheng Yading is about 800 kilometers away from Chengdu, and it takes about 2 days by car.

Real experience: "If you don't regret it, you will regret it even more." It is really difficult to climb the mountain at an altitude of 4,700 meters for 7 hours. There are few public toilets in the scenic area, and there is no plateau hypoxia rescue station. Although the scenery really has the appearance of "the last piece of pure land", it is too different from the photos obtained from the Internet. If it is raining, the scenery you see is even more difficult to describe: gray, a mess of pigment and light.

Interpretation of attractions: Daocheng Yading has three major snow-capped mountains, three major lakes, and primitive natural features such as plateau meadows, river valleys and streams. The surrounding scenery is spruce and cypress, and the water is clear and flowing. . "The eyes are in heaven, but the body is in hell", which sums up the bitterness of visiting Daocheng Yading.

Similar to the Potala Palace, the Great Wall, and Daocheng Yading, there are many scenic spots in the country that "don't go to regret, go to regret", such as West Lake, Yangshuo, Fenghuang Ancient City, Zhangjiajie and other places.

It may be that their expectations in the hearts of tourists are too high, but when they actually arrive at the site, they find that the holy place in their hearts is far from what they imagined due to reasons such as many people and hard work. I thought it was a way to enjoy a vacation, but it turned out to be a self-abuse process of spending money to find guilt and suffering. Have you ever encountered such an experience?
