Chinese Medicine Clinic Scam
Just like another too-cheap tour situation, this kind of scam is also using budget or too-cheap tour to attract tourists. Once the tourist choose this kind of tour, after a simple sightseeing, you will be taken to a clinic which is actually a shopping site. Firstly, the “doctor” will diagnose each one and then write down some “necessary Chinese medicine materials”. Then, whether buy or not is depending on you. The price of the material may be at over-inflated prices. It is lucky that the materials have no problem.
Tips from Visit Around China:
if you really want to purchase some Chinese medicine materials, go to legal medicine shop or just tell the tour guide about this requirement.
At last, we need to say that most of Chinese people are friendly and warm-heart to tourists. There actually some small groups of cheats may give you a bad experience when travelling, while there actually some more big groups of honest Chinese people will help you when you meet difficulties in China. Just remember that local residents and people in service organizations and legal enterprises are glad to give a hand of you.
