Chinese outbound travel is a "goldfish tank travel"

   The rapid development of China's economy has caused more and more Chinese tourists to travel abroad. Going out is a good opportunity for cultural exchanges, and it has a positive role in cultivating non-governmental diplomacy and getting rid of too narrow local nationalism.

   But the actual situation, the author also found some unsatisfactory places. I vaguely realize that some Chinese people seem to be enclosed in a huge glass cover when they travel abroad. Although they are in a foreign country and see the scenery of a foreign country, the cultural atmosphere and interpersonal relationship that surround them are no different from those in China. This feeling is especially obvious for tourists who travel with groups. Let's call this kind of outbound tourism a "goldfish bowl-style outbound tourism."

   In the design of tourist routes and scenic spots, more attention is paid to the sightseeing preferences of Chinese people. The scenic spots and route designs are mostly familiar to the Chinese people. To a certain extent, this caters to the Chinese people’s love of face. "Go to Paris How can I not go to the Eiffel Tower and the Palace of Versailles?" "When you arrive in London, you must go to the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace?"

   Of course, those famous attractions are also hot spots for tourists from all over the world. What's more important is that Chinese tourists are taken to these scenic spots, often in just one to two hours. In addition to walking horses and flowers, and the introductions, which are all kinds of one-trip photos and souvenirs, smartphones Popularization and the use of selfie sticks gave birth to a large number of selfies with various cute expressions, and then they were urged by the tour guide to go to the next attraction or shopping spot.
