Sailimu Lake in Xinjiang, one of the famous attractions, lake blue, Enpa Haomiao, the lake is a rolling plateau grasslands, and beautiful scenery. But we did go to Sailimu Lake is not an insight into the swords and guns of the "robbery" is based on this place without any interest.
We have just got off immediately, holding several local Hui Ma Wai, who came over and looked very warm, very sincerely want to help our luggage, looking for shelter. Since we have friends first, first here and tell us five individual packets of a yurt price is 50 yuan a night. Riding up the hill to the dark horse is 20 yuan. So we were talking with those of Hui good price, a smaller package yurts 30 yuan a night, 15 yuan a horse riding up the hill to the sunset. After they agreed that we on the horse.
When we on the horse, there are a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Muslim who rode over, we have to do to follow wizard, only cost 15 yuan, you can take us to the viewing platform, we do not want to spend additional money to hire guide So do not clearly expressed. 2 Qian Ma who walked less than 100 meters say, do not eat, we throw the reins back. That Zijian When the wizard behind the rushing of the kids on our mountain immediately. We see Arima Road, is also not difficult to follow, there is no care. He has been with us up the mountains, walking and talking with us, but also our passion to correct riding posture, in the more gentle slopes whip our horses so that they run together.
Is that good as the original price of 15 yuan Riding after dark, along with that Muslim children have been with us. I see he wants to guide costs only 15 yuan, thinking that even if the. He came out so little money, give him 15 yuan better. So we have been friends who asked us to ride on horse back. At that time the sun had just come down, no black days, about 9 pm or so, I called the original two Hui people to foot the bill, they let the wizard again with the words of the evening and our checkout. We did not care about, and went to a Kazakh yurts people go to eat.
With the Kazakhs say, OK, kill a sheep, packet processing is 18 a kilogram, we chose the sheep is 14 kg, should be 260 yuan. Did not think we had finished our checkout, that Kazakhs out of the list is actually 550. Of which: lamb: 260 yuan; processing fee: 140 yuan; yurt fee 3 hours: 150. We froze, and said good 260 package processing fees, and actually also other income, is even more exasperating is that, to eat but also to pay 50 yuan per hour private room fee! Is simply robbery! We recruited the boss theory, he actually said that he did not understand at that time, and insisted he said 18 a kilogram is the lamb price, excluding processing fees.
With this experience, we know that there will not be back any good news. Sure enough, when Qian Ma Hui people to ask for money when the opening is necessary to 200 horse, and even on the wizard's horse a total of three, a total of 600. Asked him how he counted, and they said 30 yuan an hour, from our ride up the mountain started to pull them back at a total of 5 hours (in fact, get on a horse to call them from time to checkout a maximum of only three and a half hours, they have been dragged dark come Qian Ma, put the time to count, etc.), a total of 150, up the mountain costs 50 yuan, add up to 200 a horse. If tomorrow we even rented his horse, he received 400 a day for free today. If tomorrow we do not rent his horse, today they have to pay 200 a!
Hui caravan there are a lot, we have few people, if the matter up and it is difficult to imagine the consequences. So we had with them the theory. But no matter how we say it, they insisted that time they said 15 yuan is the price of a half-hour, 30 yuan an hour. And in the time we are talking about, caravans and other people will Wai in our yurt door. At that time I think it will fall into a nest robber, and we as a group of lamb to be slaughtered. "Man-made Daozu, I fish," the feeling has never been so profound.
In addition to our other visitors are not pleasant experiences. There are five tourists coming from Urumqi, slaughter of a sheep, eating two fish, they have been forced to pay a 800 yuan. Said that a good 50 yurts, the checkout when a person becomes 50, five individuals collected 250. I have talked with the little wizard, Ride, saying it was to take me running, can be when I go back later and found that coat both sides of the pocket zippers opened, and inside the hand cream and other small things are all gone. All these are a countless number.
I am helpless, once thought it was a beautiful Sailimu Lake has become an eye full of money, greed to stare at us each and every passing tourist. Has a broad alpine meadows has also become a Xuepentaikou, are eyeing to take us as delicious.
In order to let other visitors had to beware of the innocent is no longer deceived, summed up several traps Sailimu Lake, notices the world:
1, when the stay time, say a good 50 rent a yurt one night, finally may be 50 yuan per person. Therefore, the more people who suffer greater; if we must live, you should be talking about a good price when paying a little and asked them a receipt, the receipt must specify how much the rent yurts one night, how many people can live, and already includes electricity, open water, heating costs, pillow quilts royalties, TV-use fees, and indicate the rents, including all costs, no additional surcharge for any costs, how much money has been rent, the amount of money I Ho time to settle.
2, if you want to ride, preferably also in a good price, after paying a small amount of talk and asked them to open a receipt, the stated cost of the rent Ma Yuan, time is the number of hours, groom, accompanied by Qian Ma should be responsible for the mountains, and write Ming rental fee has been included into the mountains, lake fees, grasslands horse racing fees, fees and other forage, and indicate the rents, including all costs, no additional surcharge for any costs, how much money has been rent, the amount of money when I closed . Also recommended you do not time out, saying that much better time to advance down the mountain, the reins on time and handed the hands of Muslim caravan.
3, if anyone follow you to give you as soon as Hill, said the wizard, in the clear that you do not need later, no matter what he says is do not ignore, and asked what should never Daqiang, and do not let them get close within three feet . If he had been followed, it is best to him that we did not ask you a tour guide, if you go, it is your own thing, nothing to do with us, and then when he does not exist.
4, eating time, must first make it clear that the price and weight of each vegetables, first stated on a single point in the settlement of what vegetables, how much weight, what drink, how much the price, the number of processing fees, the total number of yuan has been included private room charges, serving fees, corkage, fruit and fees, refreshments, fees, etc. In addition to this are not subject to any fees.
Sailimu Lake claim to fame, landscape look in everybody's eyes is actually a matter of opinion. If you go to Sailimu Lake, it is best not to eat there; if it is to eat, it is best not to stay; If you really want to stay, it is best not to ride, if really want to ride, it is best equipped to deal with any unexpected incidents tasks. Away from home, we are already 10 million careful to talk about the prices of say in clear detail, but when you pay for these Kazakhs and Hui people are not the excuse that did not understand what you mean, that is, turn against, anyway should you The so-called pay according to their rules. Here there is no any protection at all. Personally, I think, unless you want a rich life experience, and insight about what the modern "civilized robbery", money and particularly large number, it can go to try, or else, better must not go to a place like this.
Of curs at arm's length, for a robber and a distance is best to avoid. Hope you be careful. Finally I wish you all to go out smoothly, and have fun.
