A recent investigation by a reporter from the "Rule of Law Daily" found that tourists had mixed opinions about the scenic spots in Shanxi during the May Day holiday. From Wutai Mountain to Beiyue Hengshan, from the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon Baquan Gorge to Taiyuan Zoo, various scenic spots are frequently complained about by tourists.

Some scenic spots give out popsicles for free, and some scenic spots have a plate of scrambled eggs for 48 yuan. All parking spaces in Yuci District of Jinzhong City are free. The Yuanping Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government promise that the city's attractions will not charge tickets.
