China: Too expensive for Chinese travelers?

by CNNGo staff

While Chinese tourists are swiping credit cards at casinos, bagging sales at shopping malls and feasting at Michelin-starred restaurants overseas, domestic travel is getting a little too expensive.

According to various reports, the recent price hike for entrance to major tourist sites in China has sparked an outcry, with some travelers taking overseas trips as a cost-control option.

Admission prices on the rise

More than 20 major tourist attractions in China, including Shou Xihu (瘦西湖) in Yangzhou and Jinggan Mountain (井冈山) in Jiangxi, announced last week they would raise admissions by 20 to 100 percent in the next few months, reported People’s Daily (website in simplified Chinese only).
