What should I pay attention to when traveling to the Philippines now?

Because the Philippine economy and politics are very unstable, the exchange rate changes greatly every day, and they like to ask for RMB instead of USD, because the dollar is very depreciating. Convert currency with the tour guide for 1USD=39P, 1RMB=5P(Bank of China 1rmb = does not accept US dollars) It is recommended to bring more RMB (to be sufficient, it is best to give her what kind of money the tour guide wants), and the US dollar is to exchange with money exchange(local) is very suitable.

But be careful not to get dropped. (They are very unauthentic, sometimes they will give you counterfeit bills, or that your dollars are fake, and they will confuse the real ones in advance, so it is recommended that a guide take them to change.) Try to bring as many dollars as possible to exchange PISO with them, and bring more RMB guides sometimes needed.

Dollars can't be spent directly (the same goes for shopping malls) Filipinos: Very difficult to get along with, and often gaffes, and although their law and order is okay (traffic police pay very low, - by earning extra blocks, if you run a red light 50p can solve the problem of pulling, police have guns) but they have a lot of small actions, always pay attention to their bags, especially if they are tipping countries to tip everything. Every night you must remember to put it at the bedside 20p, if someone helps you with your luggage it will also be 20p, as long as someone helps you you must be 20p, otherwise you don't know what is going to happen to you.

They were so slow that I almost missed the flight, but don't push me yet. It takes us at least 1 and a half hours to eat a meal, and we are hungry stupidly. I remember that in Boracay our air conditioner could not be turned off, (very cold) I called ** to the operationtor and he promised me to fix it, but they came after 1 hour, so angry that I did not open the door to pull.

One thing is very good, just like in Western countries, you must be greeted when you meet you, whether you know you or not. (Our tip is like running water, although it is said that there is not much only 20p at a time, but the water flows for a long time) Price, the economic development of the Philippines was the second in Asia 40 years ago, but now it should be the second-to-last, their public transportation is very underdeveloped (details later) The price is very high, and some things in some places are 1 times more expensive than Beijing, and you must pay 15% more tax for meals (** tax and service tax, which is the same as Indonesia) Their imported products are very expensive, Their prime minister, because he wanted to develop national industry, would impose a high tax on imported goods.

It's still safe during the day, don't go out at night.

Entry and Exit Instructions When entering the country, the amount of foreign currency brought with you is equivalent to more than 5,000 US dollars, you must declare it, and you can bring this money out when you leave the country. In order to avoid trouble, it is best to declare even if the amount of foreign currency you bring with you is less than 5,000 US dollars. Foreign currency can be exchanged for peso at the airport, but be sure to keep proof of exchange so that you can exchange any unused pesos for foreign currency.

There are two types of pesos: banknotes and coins. Banknotes come in denominations of and 1000. Coins come in denominations of 25 and 2.

The average annual temperature is 26-27 degrees Celsius. Casual summer clothes are fine. Formal occasions require a suit or gown.

Food & Beverage is best known for its rich seafood. The restaurant often has bands and folk dance performances. Local Filipino dishes like to use spicy seasonings such as vinegar and plenty of garlic.

The more representative ones are: roast suckling pig, Sinigan soup, Adobo, Lapu-Lapu fish, etc. Specialties The first product in the Philippines is woodcarving crafts, such as puppets, jewelry boxes and chessboards.

Shell handicrafts are also quite Filipino, such as shell necklaces, pins, lampshades, wall decorations, tea coasters, containers, etc. A variety of handbags, rugs, balls, etc., made from Manila hemp, are popular among tourists. In terms of textiles, there are ponte cloth, rich in alpine national colors; And the color is bold, very tropical.

Dried fruits are also ideal gifts, such as dried papaya, dried mangoes, dried pineapples, etc., and there are whole boxes in the duty-free shop**.

1. The first thing to be mentally prepared for is that the natural and cultural landscapes of the Philippines are indeed attractive, but the facilities, environment, food and services around the attractions may not be satisfactory. In general, infrastructure in the Philippines is not well developed, and roads and hotels are in poor condition, especially outside the capital Manila.

2. Chinese tourists who pay attention to food enjoyment should also be prepared, Filipinos' eating habits are very different from Chinese, and many Chinese tourists will affect their travel due to unaccustomed diets.

3. There is usually no unified standard for the fees of scenic spots here, and the pricing may fluctuate at will, so the ** of the travel agency often cannot reflect the final actual expenses. To avoid cost disputes, visitors who do not speak the local language or English are advised to invite a reliable guide who is familiar with the local area. Moreover, Filipinos are not very fluent in English, few people can speak Chinese, and many Chinese descendants do not speak Mandarin and only Hokkien.

4. As far as tourism projects are concerned, many programs in the Philippines, such as island tours, adventure tours (including diving, surfing, close encounters with sharks, etc.), cultural customs and scenery tours, are in line with the interests of Chinese outbound tourists. Travel agencies mainly arrange for tourists to visit northern Luzon, the Manila region, the central Visayas, Palawan in the southwest, and Davao City in Mindanao in the south. Other places in Mindanao are very rich in tourism resources, but for safety reasons, travel agencies generally do not organize tourists to visit.

5. The Philippine tourist visa period is 21 days, which means certain restrictions for tourists who are eager to "travel in depth". Chinese tourists who want to have a deeper understanding of the nature and culture of the Philippines may only be able to arrange travel if they are invited and received by local friends or institutions.

1. Stay away from gambling and keep yourself clean. Recently, there has been a high incidence of gambling-related kidnapping cases, which have brought significant economic and mental harm to the parties and their families. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines once again reminds Chinese citizens in the Philippines that participating in gambling or engaging in gambling (including online gambling) violates Chinese laws and Chinese virtues, and should stay away.

2. Pay attention to the safety of water activities. When participating in water sports, be sure to objectively assess your health and don't be competitive. Abide by the regulations of the scenic spot, choose the number of cracks or choose a safe water vehicle, wear a life jacket as required, do not go to unfamiliar waters, and do not enter the water after drinking or taking medicine.

3. Pay close attention to weather changes. Typhoons in the Philippines are frequent, resulting in flight delays, roads and other situations from time to time, airports and other public places are full of air conditioning, please bring enough common medicines, prepare necessary clothing, and make relevant preparations for Biwang.

4. Make adequate preparations for entry. Prepare return air tickets, hotel orders, etc., and politely and calmly immigrate** inquiry. Also, do not take photos at the immigration counter.

5. Keep your identity documents properly, pay special attention to keep the visa paper, do not cut or change its original appearance without authorization, and pay attention not to lose the visa paper on the flight and mistakenly load it into checked baggage.

6. Take good care of your belongings and don't let valuables out of your sight in public areas.
