Beware these tourist traps in China

Seneca (US)

In China the discount is advertised in loud and shrill announcements, written and said out aloud on megaphones.

In Yangshuo's West Street you can find beautifully-crafted chopsticks in a dedicated chopstick shop. There is no pricer rebate advertised but Chinese customers enquiring about them will be offered a 15 percent reduction while laowai visitors are brushed off rudely with the claim there is no discount available. In isolated cases a 5 percent discount was grudgingly granted.
