There is a legend in Lijiang that it is a city of love affairs, attracting many single men and women.

5. Fake Qin Shihuang mausoleum in Xi'an
Secret of deception: Black hearted tour guides or wild rental drivers meet tourists at the station and cheat that the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is a little far away from the station. The bus is inconvenient and the carpooling costs only 5-10 yuan. Then, after you get on the bus, you can directly pull to the fake scenic spot with 98 tickets. Many netizens have been cheated and scolded on the Internet. However, many people don't know it's a fake scenic spot, and there are so many people waiting in line.
