Tourist Trap: PPP: Persistent Pushy People.
  • Tip Rating:
  • IT seems to me, these people are hanging around the well known tourist areas, trying to sell anything they can. IF you want to purchase something, always remember to bargain. IF you are not interested in what these people are selling, DON'T say a word, don't smile, don't laugh, or make eye contact....anything that will attract their attention. They can be quite aggressive, and are very persistent. They will stand in your way and pull at your clothes, if they think you have the slightest interest in what they are selling. Personally, didn't have it happen to me, but have observed other people in situations. Just keep on walking....eventually they will stop hounding you and move on to their next victim.

     Lovely and quite interesting stuff.

     My mum wants one of those terra cotta warriors shipped home. Is that photo taken at the site of the warriors in Lintong (a gift shop perhaps?) or at a separate shop in downtown Xi'an? You have good advice here! Wishing you a very happy birthday!

     Hi, I've always wanted to try the dumpling Banquet. But do you have to have a certain number of people to do it? Is it expensive? Thanks Miaka
