Snow Town, Li Zhengyan thought that it must be the favorite place of the children, but what Li Zhengyan would never have dreamed of was that although the Snow Town was pure white, the hearts of the people in the Snow Town were black.

Before "Where Are You Going, Dad", Snow Township was actually an inconspicuous forest farm in the deep mountains of Jianglong Province. The village is dotted with dozens of households, all living in dilapidated thatched huts and bungalows, and they build a thatched hut outside to solve the problem. Because of the perennial snow and high altitude, there is no food to grow on the land, and the people of the snow country can only live by growing cabbage and potatoes.

At that time, many young people in the snow country made money by going to the Forestry Bureau to cut wood, and in the depths of winter, when the temperature reached more than 10 degrees below zero, the young people had to carry hoes to the mountains. But even with frozen red fingers, young people can only get a few hundred yuan a month. As a result, some young people choose to go out to work, leaving only the elderly behind.

Snow seems to be the only product of the village's abundance. Due to its deep location in the mountains and humid air, the snow here has a strong adhesion. After snowfall, the snow does not fall, but sticks firmly to the roof, and the layers accumulate over time, forming a natural "snow mushroom".

This unique scenery has been favored by many photographers, and the reception of these guests from afar has become the prototype of the snow town tourism.

Seven or eight years ago, outsiders could spend 10 yuan to sleep on a villager's kang for one night, and spend 2 yuan to eat a meal of cabbage and stewed potatoes. Some netizens left messages saying that when they went to Snow Township for the first time in 2004, they were 10 yuan a day, fried mountain delicacies with sauerkraut and white meat, staple food, and self-brewed wine were free, and the local villagers were so simple that they made him "embarrassed".

Later, as more photographers took pictures of the beautiful scenery, the snow town came into the sight of tourists one after another. At the same time, in 2003, Snow Township also announced that it would completely stop logging, take the development of eco-tourism as a new economic growth point, and encourage forest farm workers to put down logging axes and open family hotels and restaurants.

In the end, the hit of "Where Are You Going, Dad" made Snow Town completely popular. Eating a steaming hot pot and wrapping them like rice dumplings in the pure white world of ice and snow to build snowmen and enjoy the snow scene, the happy life of children makes many tourists fascinated.

It's just that the snow town is on fire because of "Where Are You Going, Dad", but it has not continued the previous simplicity, and after the fire in the snow town, there can be thousands of tourists a day. According to reports, the popularity of the Snow Township route rose more than that of Nanhai, and the price of travel soared to 10,000 yuan, and the number of beds on the soil kang also rose to hundreds of yuan. There are also tourists who sit in the first class cabin of the plane to sleep on the earthen kang.

The people of the Snow Country, who have experienced the brutal logging economy, see a huge opportunity to get rich in tourists.

Because the annual tourist season in Snow Town is three months, there are basically no tourists coming after the Spring Festival, which means that the opportunity to make money is fleeting.

Since then, Snow Town has also been exposed on the Internet to rip off customers.

Probably at the beginning of the first year after the end of "Where Are You Going, Dad", a post written by a netizen entitled "Real Shot: Snow Town, Can It Not Be So Dark" appeared on the Internet and spread rapidly. The article mentions that there is a 3,200 yuan a day in the snow town.

In response to this online post, an investigation team was also set up, and the investigation team found that the hotels involved exposed by netizens were all ordinary rooms with ondols, and there were no "standard rooms with toilets" mentioned in the article. In his transcript, the owner said that the maximum charge for hotel accommodation was 300 yuan per person.

Then Snow Township began a major overhaul of the catering standards and prices of family hotels in the district, and stopped some of the doubtful items. However, the act of stealing customers has not been eradicated.

So far, the evil deeds that have been exposed in Snow Town include: temporary price increase for rooms, about 500 to 1,000 per person, sky-high taxi prices, and attractions and projects that are not worthy of their names, such as a zoo that sells tickets for a few hundred yuan only has a few deer, and a fantasy film and television base of 198 yuan is a small broken courtyard.

In the tourism blacklist of Xia Kingdom, the ancient city and prawns have also been on the list. The special thing about Snow Town is that due to the remote terrain, if a tourist does not admit it and wants to resist, the other party will throw out a sentence like the boss of the Zhao family's compound: "If you don't add money, you will leave." "It's cold and snowy, and no tourist wants to sleep on the streets, so they have to compromise in the end. For black-hearted merchants, this threat is low-cost and easy to get hold of.

In addition to stealing customers, high prices are also a major point in Snow Town. Although on January 4, the official response said that the "60 yuan a bucket of instant noodles" mentioned in the post of "Don't Go to Snow Country Again" is the number of the vending machine rather than the selling price, and the instant noodles are actually "10 yuan" per barrel. But on the Internet, there are still tourists complaining that "eating a chicken stew with mushrooms costs more than 400 yuan" and "three years ago, it cost 1,800 yuan for one table of people to eat Chinese cabbage and chicken." ”

What's more, in fact, when the production team of "Where Are You Going, Dad" was recording in Snow Town, the experience in Snow Country was not pleasant.

..........................

The time was 10 o'clock in the morning, and the location was a hotel about a few kilometers away from the snow town, when Xie Zhengkui scolded in a room in the hotel.

"What the hell are you doing with secrecy, you look outside, now there are hundreds of people pouring in outside, how are we going to ensure the safety of the children, if something happens, are you responsible?"

The reason for Xie Zhengkui's scolding was that the hotel did not know that hundreds of tourists had gathered from there, and these people blocked the door, causing a great hidden danger to the safety of the children.

The incident in Shachang last time made Xie Zhengkui remember it vividly, he didn't want the children to have something, so he told him to keep it secret and not to disclose the children's itinerary.

But what made Xie Zhengkui speechless was that he had already told him a thousand times, but there were so many people outside, how could Xie Zhengkui not be angry.

Just after Xie Zhengkui got angry, the staff in charge of the trip said very aggrievedly: "Director Xie, we really don't care about it, we really keep it secret."

So many people are because the people here in Snow Town unilaterally tore up the agreement, and they notified many travel agencies of the news that we were going to shoot, and then deliberately recruited many tour groups to come to Snow Town to play.

We didn't have a way, and we didn't expect it, this place would go back on its word, which we didn't expect for two seasons. ”

"Oh yes.... Xie Zhengkui scolded unhappily when he heard his staff's explanation, and then Xie Zhengkui said helplessly: "From now on, we must always be vigilant, no matter what, the children must not have anything." ”

"It's... Director Xie.... All the staff responded in unison.

It's just that all the staff of "Where Are You Going, Dad" would not have thought that the experience of this trip to the snow town had just begun, and three days later, after the snow town trip, a staff member of "Where Are You Going, Dad" said on Weibo: The nightmarish experience of "Where Are You Going, Dad" in the snow town is finally coming to an end, and the shadow left may make us never go to the seemingly fairytale-like pure but fable-like place again in our lives... I hope you all return safely!
