China is a massive country and has, as you may have heard, 5000 years of history. Unsurprisingly, the tourist attractions are accordingly numerous. But where do you begin? And how do you avoid getting scammed by tour guides? BST is here to help this week with some insider tips from former tour guide and current ChinesePod host! She'll be filling you in on the rigorous process (legitimate) tour guides have to undergo to get their certification as well as some advice on how to avoid some of the more common scams that many travel companies employ.
