    This is terrible! It's the first time I've actually heard a tour guide say, 'You can't leave if you don't buy anything.' Now I'm at the exit, and they're checking everyone's receipts one by one.

      @StarsOnTheRoad This one's a rip-off too.

        The bus directions to the Great Wall from Qianmen are really clear, I just didn't have time to go.

          Yeah, I took the public bus before. This time, bringing my mom, I got lazy. They said they'd pick us up right at the hotel entrance.

            Ah, I even bought a group tour to Badaling, 80 yuan per person for a round trip (entrance ticket not included).

              It's okay! I'm sure you'll find a good tour too! Don't worry! Happy New Year!

                Thanks. I was planning to charter a car to the Great Wall, but now I'm too scared to.

                  What they said about joining a tour for the Great Wall is true, but the rest is a bit misleading. There are more convenient and faster ways; perhaps you haven't experienced them.

                          Couldn't you call the police when they were checking everyone's receipts?
