China already has the most expensive entry prices for tourist attractions on the planet, the amounts they charge to go to scenic mountains such as those in Anhui, Shaanxi and Emei Shan is ridiculous. I refuse to travel anywhere in China now because I can't stand the domestic tourists and rip-off mentality, I've just had a few weeks in Japan with high standards, no bullshit and barely a Chinese person to be found. It was bliss.
