Corrections

Original:

Guilin is one of the famous places to travel in China. I think Maybe there are more than 50% people to work in tourism. It’s a healthy way to develop local economic, but on the other aspect, It has a bad effort. When I took a taxi with a local friend and they know I travel to there twice, they joked that you must be cheated a lot of money, Because a lot of expensive service are just for tourists. Traveling means someone who are bored on their living city to go to other cities where are other people bored too.
