All Tips Travel Tips by KETCHUP (3): Degenerated Religious | Anhui | May 27, 2005 10:55
I am not religious but I like visiting temples, monasteries, taoism temples, etc. Disappointedly I found most temples are Degenerated into money machine in name of protecting you and your family. I never donate when pushed.
And 10 out of 10, I was pushed! So, I save a lot of money.

Hey guys,
Watch out the religious hooligans when you visit the Black Dragon Pool Park in Lijiang. It will be nighmare if you do. Specifically there was a so-called Dongba Culture Institution, you are right, the lexicon should think about giving a amendment to this word if they insist calling themselves an "institution".

Usually, they will accost you and entice you into the institution and then the money in your pockets are theirs.

I would rather suggest detour or skip the whole park altogether.
