Hong kong tour group shopping
Hong Kong and black tour guides are like robbers, while mainland tourists are brave enough to defend themselves.
During the "Eleventh" holiday, Hong Kong black tour guides forced mainland tourists to buy jewelry at a minimum of 9,000 yuan each. Mainland tourists have the courage to fight and defend their legitimate rights and interests.
On October 4th, 2014, Mr. Xue, a mainland tourist, took part in a three-night and four-day tour group to Hong Kong and Macao. At the jewelry store of Kowloon Bay International Exhibition Center in Hong Kong, a male tour guide who claimed to be surnamed Zhou (hereinafter referred to as "Guide Zhou") forced the group of 24 people, each of whom had to buy jewelry at the standard of 9,000 RMB, and threatened to "leave the group immediately if it failed to meet the standard." After that, a tourist in Tianjin asked if it was okay to buy less if he couldn't buy 9000 yuan. Zhou Wei replied, "No." After getting off the bus, Mr. Zhou called everyone into the jewelry store. Mr. Xue came forward and asked, "You can go in and support your work, but you don't have to shop." Zhou Wei replied, "Everyone must go shopping. Let's talk about it first." Mr. Xue asked: "Hong Kong is a society ruled by law. Is it legal for you to do so?" Zhou Wei did not answer directly, but still called everyone into the store. At the moment, except for Mr. Xue and several tourists from Beijing, tourists from Xining, Tianjin, Shanghai and Shaanxi did not move, and nine tourists from Fujian did not move. When Zhou Wei saw this, he went crazy and shouted to Mr. Xue, "Do you think you are particularly awesome because you are from Beijing … I tell you, Beijingers are nothing in the eyes of Hong Kong people." After listening, Mr. Xue ignored it and took out his mobile phone to take pictures of it. At this time, Zhou Youdao jumped to Mr. Chu and shouted, "You took pictures privately, which violated my privacy." And there is a tendency to use violence. Mr. Xue rightly said: "Hong Kong is a society ruled by law. My taking photos here did not infringe on your privacy and portrait rights. If you dare to hit someone, we will call the police immediately.I will complain about your behavior to the Hong Kong Tourism Board later. "Zhou Wei guide stood by after listening, the fork wear a waist, panting. A few minutes after the confrontation between the two sides, another male tour guide named Luo (hereinafter referred to as Luo Dao) shouted to everyone: "Please support our work. Everyone goes in. We have an agreement with the jewelry store to count the heads." Another Beijinger came forward to negotiate with him: "It's not that we don't support your work. What are we doing here in Hong Kong? We are sure to shop, but you can't force us to ask for minimum standards. This is wrong." Luo Dao agreed and then called everyone into the store. Finally, nine tourists from Fujian did not move, and everyone else went in.
After entering the store, two tourists in Shanghai bought thousands of dollars of jewelry, but Zhou Youdao and Luo Daodao were still too few, and asked them to buy thousands more; Three tourists from Shaanxi have already bought 2,000 yuan of jewelry. Luo Dao shouted at them in a threatening tone: "You three have 2,000 yuan, which can't meet our requirements at all. You must buy another 2,000 yuan, otherwise, you won't want to go back"; When two tourists from Xiamen temporarily left the gathering place of nine people in Xiamen, Zhou Youdao and Luo Daodao followed two more people and forced each of them to give them 200 yuan RMB. When seeing Mr. Xue, Director Zhou scolded him: Do you think you are awesome now ... Your mother ... you Beijingers are nothing in the eyes of Hong Kong people ... You are completely a rogue face and tone, and said: "Let's find a place to talk alone." Mr. Xue ignored him and resolutely did not shop.
During the three hours of entering the store, Zhou Wei and Luo Dao threatened to force nine tourists from Fujian to enter the store. The nine tourists from Fujian United as one, did not let it go, and never entered the store.
After returning to Beijing, Mr Xue complained to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, which accepted the case on October 13th.
Here are some suggestions for mainland tourists to travel to Hong Kong:
1. Never abandon and get rid of the concept and behavior of "forbearing on other people's turf", letting things go, or "waiting for home". In a certain sense, Hong Kong people themselves look down on mainlanders. When mainlanders come to Hong Kong, they will put up with humiliation and suppress their grievances, and they will look down on you even more. It is this kind of thinking of some mainlanders that makes individual Hong Kong people unscrupulous and fearless. Wait till you get home. What can you do when you get home? At most, you can post on "Baidu" and tell your friends and relatives about it. It's just to comfort yourself mentally. In fact, you are the one who suffers, is humiliated and wronged. "9000 yuan, you don't want to spend or buy jewelry, but you put up with the flowers", which is called "being raped and robbed". Therefore, mainlanders must establish and practice the consciousness and behavior of safeguarding their legitimate rights and dignity, and be brave in self-defense and struggle when they are coerced and "raped".
2. Be sure to prepare the alarm telephone number in Hong Kong and the telephone number of the Tourism Board accurately before going. In addition, hiring and photographic equipment and batteries are also ready. If you use a mobile phone, you can, but you must fully charge the battery and mobile power supply.
3. Walk with at least one relative or iron friend. When something happens, one person will defend rights in front and one person will collect evidence (recording and taking photos). Note: when you arrive at the shopping place or the tour guide tells you about the shopping, record it all;
4. If there is a physical conflict or violent incident, one person must report to the police at a relatively invisible place at the scene at the first time. Be sure to find out what street number or landmark building it is before.
5. The tour guide said some threatening words, such as: "Call the police station and the police will come and take you away immediately"; Because of your' trouble', it affects the following itinerary or other tourists ",etc., don't believe it. How to deal with it-play the fool and be fully distracted.
6. It is best not to take part in the sightseeing and shopping tour to Hong Kong. If you want to go to Hong Kong, you must take part in the sightseeing tour. If not, fly away happily and return with humiliation.
The above can be said to be positive defense measures, and there are several negative defense methods:
1. Tell the tour guide directly that you don't have any money or card, borrow some from him first, and then return it to him when you get home. Under normal circumstances, the tour guide has no choice but to scold you a few words at most, so just don't talk back and listen. This way can be called-forbearance;
2. Pretend to fall when you get off the bus or walk on a slippery road, and let another person help you to the hospital. The tour guide has to let you go. Look around the neighborhood, it's almost time, and then go back to the door of the shopping point or the meeting place. When the tour guide asked you, you only said that you had walked a long way, and it was all right. Well, the medical expenses in Hong Kong are so expensive that you don't need to see it. At this point, the cunning tour guide may see that it doesn't matter, and at most he will give you a few words of training. This way can be called-diving;
3. If you suddenly have a stomachache or have a heart attack, pretend or really take medicine, you need to rest if you can't move, and another 1-2 people will stay to take care of you. The tour guide can't help it. After three hours, say that you are much better and can go. Then get on the bus and leave. This way is called-pretending to be sick;
4. When you enter the store, you scream or shout, your ID card or Hong Kong and Macao pass and other valuables are lost. You need to look for it immediately or call the police, and pretend to be very anxious. The tour guide can only let you look for it first. You turn around and leave, then go around the annex, see that time is running out, and then go back to the assembly point. Just tell the tour guide to find it. This way is called-so lost.
Don't force shopping when you win there, it depends on which tour group you follow. If it is a special tour group, there will definitely be arrangements for shopping or compulsory shopping, because the special tour is particularly cheap and free of charge at all. To make money, you must make money shopping through tourists. If it is a high-quality tour group, there is no shopping arrangement at all. Because high-quality tour groups are expensive and their profits have increased, they won't make money when they win shopping and have a good travel experience.
Travel agencies can only take you to places where things are sold, but they can. I won't force you to pay out of your bag. If you don't want to spend money, you can only control your desires (but there are many attractive things in Hong Kong, and few people can really control themselves not to buy things, hehe). I have taken a similar tour in China before. As long as you only look at them, the tour guide can. Even if he is unhappy, I won't treat you any differently. In addition, some people will buy it during the tour. However, if the tour fee is low, considering that the tour guide has to make a living, I will still buy some souvenirs with tens of dollars. S not expensive and the tour guide has nothing to say, hehe.
Please answer those compatriots who have traveled with the group to Hong Kong and Macao. Thank you very much!
It is better to travel in Hong Kong and Macao by yourself or with a group tour. Where can I find a cheap place to live locally? Are there any kinds of exchange tours in Hong Kong? Self-help tour is good. Hong Kong is full of small houses, only Huayi, Yi Sheng and Qingyi are the cheapest.
Come down one stop and play by car. You must play with a pure group. Tour guides are all fools. Don't buy anything.
Hello. I'm from Hong Kong. The Luohu Port is closed at midnight. It's better not to go with the group. Huanggang will clear the customs 24 hours a day. Time will rush back to the tour guide to take you to the black shop for shopping. If you don't buy it, you and I will watch it. In fact, it's very easy for it to come to Hong Kong by itself now, and I recommend a good free day trip for you. You can refer to the first stop: the route design of Taiping Peak: Luohu-take the East Rail to Kowloon Tong-transfer to the subway to Central-reach the top of the mountain at the Exchange Square. Tips: A. There is the cheapest way to take the subway: after passing through the customs, you only need to buy a ticket to the next station at Luohu East Station, which belongs to 20 yuan. Get off at sheung shui station, and then go to the customer service center to buy a ticket for an all-in-one machine, starting from 55 yuan. Because it serves all day and takes the subway and East Rail unlimited times a day (except Airport Express, MTR bus, east rail line First Class, Luohu and Lok Ma Chau Station). B. Get out of the Central Subway Station and follow the signs to the Exchange Square. There are many fast food restaurants, McDonald's and Happy People's Club are on the way. I believe everyone is hungry at this time. Let's fill our stomachs first and then go up the mountain to let our friends feel the Hong Kong-style fast food. C. Mountain transportation scheme 1 (recommended): The music opposite everyone is the trading square, which is easy to find the bus stop after crossing the overpass. No.15 double-decker bus goes straight to the top of the mountain. 9.2HKD/ person. There is a shuttle bus from 6: 15 am to 12: 15 pm, which runs every 10 minutes; Option 2: You can also take a minibus on Line 1 at IFCII II of the International Finance Center. From 6:30 am to 12:00 pm,Every 10 minutes. The fare is 8 Hong Kong dollars. Option 3: Take the cable car up the mountain. There is a bus line 15C in central ferry piers on the 7th, which can go directly to the cable car station. It runs every 10 to 20 minutes from 10 am to 11: 45 pm. Ticket price, 3.2 yuan. One-way lift ticket to 20 yuan/person with round-trip discount. D. The Peak Tower on the top of the mountain can have a panoramic view of Hong Kong Island, and everyone can visit 20 yuan. Personally, I think it's worthwhile. It's a good place to take pictures. I suggest you bring your SLR camera if you can. The top of Taiping Mountain overlooks almost the whole of Hong Kong, and Victoria Harbour, Bank of China and International Financial Center are all very shocking. It takes about 25 minutes for the No.5 bus to reach the top of the mountain. There are winding roads all the way, and the scenery outside the window is good. The whole process is controlled in about 2 hours. We got on the bus at 11o'clock after breakfast, and it was almost 1 o'clock when we got off. Second stop: the route design of the Convention and Exhibition Center and Golden Bauhinia Square: Return to Central from Cheyuan Road No.15 at the peak, take the subway to Wan Chai, exit the Convention and Exhibition Center and walk along the signs for 10 minutes. Mainland people are familiar with this scenic spot, and they are deeply impressed by the exhibition in New never to lose. Only here can they get close to Hong Kong. It is also a good place to take pictures. Golden bauhinia sculpture, exhibition center, Victoria Harbour, etc. Can come out very well. It is enough to stay there for about an hour, and leave for Causeway Bay at 2:15 for the third stop: Causeway Bay for shopping. Bus route: Take 2A bus from Wan Chai Pier to sogou in Causeway Bay. Very convenient. As time is tight, there is not much time for shopping.So we can only stop here. Go to sogou, Times Square, Sasha, Zhuo Yue and Chen Qu. You can buy some cosmetics, perfume, imported snacks and so on. Take them back and give them away. I think you can come to Hong Kong for nothing after it has been shopping! In addition, there are many snack bars near Causeway Bay, such as Xu Liushan dessert, street snacks and Wonton Noodles. You can try to stay for 2 hours for shopping and eating. We will arrive at about 2:30 and leave at 5:30, which will take about 3 hours. Fourth stop: Tsim Sha Tsui route design: Causeway Bay-take 2A back to Wan Chai Pier-take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour at Wan Chai Pier-when we arrive in Tsim Sha Tsui, we have no time to take a luxury yacht and want to spend the night. 2.2 yuan/person, more than 10 minutes to Tsim Sha Tsui. Tired of climbing mountains and shopping, you can relax at this moment. When you arrive in Tsim Sha Tsui, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery with the sea breeze. If you feel that the communication just now is still unfinished, you can go shopping.
At this time, it was 6o clock, and it was not dark yet. The buildings on the other side are unobstructed and the light is very good. Even a fool's camera can shoot very good PP. In the dark, the requirements for technology and camera are very high, so it is difficult to shoot high-quality PP, and the fingerprints are left by the stars on the Avenue of Stars to see the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour. If you still want to see the night view, go back to Harbour City. It must be dark. If you are tired, you can use this time to fill your stomach. Return: Route design: Follow the Avenue of Stars, enter the New World Center, find Tsim Sha Tsui East Railway Station, and return to Luohu by bus. If you have to visit Harbour City, it will be at Luohu Port at about 8:00. If you enter Harbour City, you can-I'm not sure. Summary route map: Luohu-Tsim Sha Tsui transfer to subway to Central-Taipingshanding-Central-Wanchai Pier: Convention and Exhibition Center, Golden Bauhinia Square-Causeway Bay Shopping-Wanchai Pier-Tsim Sha Tsui: Avenue of Stars Luohu visited four places: Taipingding, Convention and Exhibition, Causeway Bay and Avenue of Stars, including sightseeing+shopping+food and various means of transportation: East Rail. A day trip is a test of physical strength. Everyone wants to visit more scenic spots, so the itinerary is full and it's very tiring at the end of the day. If you take the elderly, it is recommended to cut shopping time and save energy.
Please don't t t t! You should also report to the free travel group. Unless you want to shop in a black shop and get killed!
