Tour & Activity Scams in Chongqing

Fake tourist-information centre and tour-agency upsell

A driver or greeter steers arrivals to what looks like an official 'tourist information centre' near the airport that is actually a private agency; in one widely-shared account the driver faked stomach illness to get the passenger inside. Staff hard-sell Yangtze cruises and day tours at prices well above Klook/Trip.com, with no refunds once you pay. Multiple travelers reported the same operation on Xiaohongshu.
