Tricks of chongqing travel agency for Yangtze cruise boat. Be
particularly alert when choosing a service if you're planning a tour of
the three gorges area. We, despite our best efforts, were severely ripped
off! We were shown luxurious, fantastic photos of first class cabins and
after a week of being down, we decided to shell out the extra cash for
first class - about 1,500 kuai per ticket. We were assured our rooms were
the rooms from the picture and all tickets and everything except food was
included. In the end, our cabin was smaller than your average Chinese
toilet, dingy, dirty, smelly and either unpleasantly hot or cold. We were
met with amazingly gruff and unfriendly (often bordering on rude)
service, aggressive hawking of various wares, etc. We were provided with
a "tour guide" who did nothing except show up and ask us to buy tickets.
For the two times our tickets <i>were</i> included, she was nowhere to be
found and we spent a good part of the time allotted for touring these
boring sites looking for her. We were also made to buy a ticket (first
priced at 120 kuai each, later " discounted" to the real price of 40 once
we saw that written on the ticket itself) in order to simply go to the
parts of the boat where one could see the surrounding scenery, and almost
none of the tickets were included. We were asked to pay for almost every
one of our stops, excepting two (which noone would really want to see
anyway). The worst of which was the actual three gorges dam, where we
were not told that our tickets weren't included and we got off the boat,
went up in the lift, and suddenly saw our boat departing. We were then
completely stuck; buy a ticket to tour the damned dam for 150 kuai or buy
a bus ticket to where the boat would meet us for 30.
Long story short, You could say it about doing anything anywhere, but be
really careful when you embark on a tour of the three gorges. At all
costs avoid Chongqing Zongheng Travel agency ltd., right near the train
station!! Don't get ripped off lik
