为什么在市场被收了游客价？
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
在纪念品市场或街边市场，报价是本地人所付价格的 3–10 倍，而且商家坚称这是"真实价格"。
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
旅游区的露天市场（如 Wangfujing、Nanjing Road、Muslim Quarter）默认报价虚高的"外国人价格"；砍价砍掉 60%–80% 是惯例。
✓ HOW TO FIX
转身离开以触发降价，先报开价的 20%–30%，最终成交在 40% 左右；如果不想讨价还价，可以去连锁店或商场买明码标价的商品。

Tourist Scams to Avoid
The four classic scams are the tea ceremony, the art student, the closed-attraction ringer, and the taxi meter swap; ignore all "free" invitations from strangers.
Shopping & Bargaining
Bargain at markets (start at 30% of asking price), use Alipay at chain stores, and get a tax refund at the airport for ¥500+ same-day purchases.
Cash & RMB
Carry ¥500–1,000 in cash for rural areas, taxis, and small vendors; major cities are 90%+ cashless via mobile payment.
