during the national day, the craze for traveling abroad has been set off again.

many people who choose to go abroad to see the world set their destination in iceland, thousands of kilometers away.

zhou qimo once told a joke at the "talk show" conference: "now on wechat in china, there are more people living in iceland than the actual population of iceland."

iceland has become a homeland that many people have never met.

this land of ice and fire at the end of the world has glaciers and volcanoes, and you can easily shoot high-end blockbusters.

the icelandic tourism board once "spoke wildly":“iceland, better than space!”

but when many people actually arrive in iceland, they will find that this trip they have been thinking about for a long time is not what they imagined.

the prices here are far beyond what chinese people realize, which will give tourists a big blow.

many people’s wallets start moaning the moment they set foot in iceland.

recently, netizen @bxsti shared her experiences in iceland. the prices marked on each picture are enough to scare the people who are planning to travel to iceland.

although the hotel adopts nordic style decoration, which looks pleasing to the eye, it costs 3,400 yuan a night.

renting an off-road vehicle costs rmb 6,890 for 6 days.

a mediocre kfc meal costs 340 yuan.

two humble sandwiches cost 109 rmb.

a meal with nordic characteristics can be served on three plates, but it costs 990 yuan.

although the beautifully presented meals look impressive, the prices are staggering.

a hot dog costs 50 yuan, and a bowl of noodles with a few pieces of beef costs 100 to 200 yuan... enjoying a delicious meal in iceland will make your wallet a little lighter.

according to relevant data from eurostat, the minimum per capita consumption for a normal dinner in iceland is 43 euros, equivalent to about 334 yuan.

at the same time, experts from the bureau of statistics said that prices in iceland are 56% higher than the average price in europe.

even public transportation, which is known to everyone as cheap, is very expensive in iceland.

taking the bus costs 15 yuan.

the most common intercity bus is almost the same as a domestic bus, but it costs 400 yuan.

some netizens posted the bill. they took a taxi to the airport and spent 1,700 yuan in 35 minutes.

a trip to iceland seems like a waste of money for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

in addition to these necessary living expenses, iceland's most attractive natural scenery adventure projects are also very expensive.

iceland is the only country in the world that allows travelers to hike inside volcanoes, and the magnificent volcanic scenery is mesmerizing.

an icelandic travel company has launched a flight overlooking the volcano. the experience lasts half an hour and costs more than $200.

if you take a helicopter, the price for the same half-hour experience will be more than $500.

a guided volcano hiking group with 1 to 3 people, covering nearly 20 kilometers and taking 7-8 hours, costs more than 10,000 yuan per day.

iceland is the filming location for "game of thrones". it has spawned projects such as blue cave exploration, glacier hiking, glacier snorkeling, etc. around the ice fields and glaciers.

these projects are relatively affordable compared to volcano projects, but to fully experience them, you will need to spend over 10,000 yuan.

no wonder some people joke that if you want to go to iceland for a few days, you need to be prepared to go bankrupt.

everyone always looks at foreign countries with thick filters, yearning for the beautiful scenery and cultural heritage of many countries. but when we actually set foot on foreign soil, most of the filters will be broken.

not only are prices in iceland astonishingly high, but many european countries charge for food, drinks, and toiletries that are beyond people’s imagination.

toilets in many european countries require separate charges. the toilets in the louvre charge 1.5 euros, and the toilets in some places in paris charge 2 euros, equivalent to rmb 16.

an ordinary fork costs about 4 yuan separately.

but the high prices are just the tip of the iceberg that shock foreign friends to chinese tourists.

in the traditional impression of the public, paris is the city of romance and perfume. the streets are filled with fashionably dressed men and women who may have a beautiful encounter at any time.

but the real paris is very different from what everyone thinks.

on the streets of paris, people are everywhere solving their physical problems. the blogger "eldest brother's cousin" once aptly described the smell of the streets of paris.

the streets are littered with paper mattresses, which serve as temporary shelters for homeless people.

on the famous champs elysées, you can walk a few steps and see a homeless man lying on the ground with dried chewing gum everywhere.

pedestrians can be seen running red lights everywhere on the street.

the french subway is so shabby that you still need to open the door manually.

even those famous attractions are disappointing.

under the eiffel tower, there are foreigners setting up stalls everywhere, and the roads are full of potholes.

when the blogger went to the arc de triomphe, he also encountered french farmers throwing haystacks to block the road.

in the early years, "paris syndrome" often appeared among japanese tourists, that is, due to the large gap between the romantic imagination of paris and reality, nausea, insomnia, convulsions, paranoia of persecution, etc., and even suicidal tendencies.

in fact, it’s not just paris that breaks tourists’ filters.

venice is a beautiful "city on the water" that appears in primary school textbooks. it is known as the "pearl of the adriatic" and was filmed here in "the fate" and "mission: impossible 7".

but when tourists actually come to this beautiful city, they will find that the river water in venice is turbid green and smells bad.

the egyptian pyramids look majestic, but they are actually made of piles of stones. the interior is hot, stuffy and smelly.

if you come here with a longing for the scenery abroad, you will only be disappointed after the filter is broken, then the scammers running rampant abroad make you deeply angry.

#inegypt, i only allow myself to be deceived 3 times # # the first batch of people traveling to egypt have been deceived to the point of running naked # and other terms have been on the hot search, which makes people feel that the ancient civilization in their memory has long been separated from civilization part ways.

in egypt, there are people everywhere shouting "one dollar" and asking you for money. once you give it to one of them and show your generosity, dozens of children will surround you and continue to ask for money.

if you buy a bottle of water for 5 egyptian pounds and pay 10 egyptian pounds, the vendor will not ask you for money. if you insist on asking for an explanation, he will hand you another bottle of water.

some tourists paid in u.s. dollars, but vendors gave change in egyptian currency that was no longer in circulation.

when taking pictures in scenic spots, some people will take photos with tourists enthusiastically and then immediately ask tourists for money.

someone once photographed a camel in a scenic spot and was asked for $100.

chinese tourists will also be "favored" by locals in egypt. the locals will take advantage of the kindness of the chinese and express their love for china while asking for money.

after being deceived time after time, more and more people are disenchanted with traveling abroad.

when people experience a lot of disappointment abroad, and then turn their attention to china, they will find that many things are available in china, and they are no worse than abroad.

in terms of extremely cold landscapes, mohe can reach minus 40 degrees in winter. when ice and snow cover this area, no one will be dazzled by it.

in terms of island scenery, dongji island, which has been "appeared" in many love movies, encompasses the sunshine, blue sea, and islands, forming a unique romance.

when it comes to cultural landscapes that carry a rich history, china is full of them.

treasures are displayed in major museums, and ancient buildings are dotted across the land of china, each of them bearing hundreds of thousands of years.

this land not only has stunning natural scenery, but when we travel through the city, we can also feel the thick smoke and smoke.

the northeast has always been jokingly said to have its own price system. a bowl of malatang costs less than 12 yuan, and it also comes with a handful of small crispy pork.

a netizen once ordered six dishes by himself, including pot-roasted pork, soft-fried fresh mushrooms, minced pork and eggplant strips, spicy stir-fried chicken rack, pork slices and ants climbing a tree, as well as a large pancake, which only cost a total of less than 100 yuan.

a plate of meat costs 48 yuan in the northeast, but the store serves a solid plate.

zibo's barbecue also makes people who are used to eating five yuan a skewer of mutton kebabs say "there is an exchange rate between zibo coins and rmb."

the residents of these places with simple folk customs can always stick to the bottom line and do honest business without losing anything.

when "wealth comes from the sky", cultural and tourism industries all over the country have made great efforts to provide good services to tourists.

whenever the may 11th holiday comes, the qiansimen bridge closest to hongyadong scenic area is directly closed to vehicle traffic, making it easier for tourists to check in on foot.

the chongqing government will also send mass text messages to chongqing citizens to remind them to travel during off-peak hours to provide convenience for tourists.

zibo has become popular. the zibo government has limited the price increase of hotels and b&bs and even "cut prices". for a hotel that costs 1,341 yuan a night, tourists only have to pay 735 yuan.

harbin has become popular. harbin cultural tourism invited the ewenki people who have lived in the mountains for a long time. no native northeastern person has ever seen this scene.

tianshui ushered in great wealth, and the boss of malatang was officially interviewed for facial expression management.

shanxi became popular overnight, and the officials carefully prepared customs clearance documents.

the efforts of major cultural and tourism bureaus are all to provide tourists with a better experience and make everyone feel that their trip is worthwhile.

on the other hand, they are also afraid that the beautiful scenery and kind people will be buried.

china's rivers and mountains are so magnificent, and the people on the land of china are so enthusiastic, but we may have developed less than 1% of this land.

we can’t get enough of this land that we love so much.

its beauty may be worth our lifetime to experience.
