When visiting the Great Wall, a group of locals started walking with us, complementing our Chinese etc., developing an emotional connection, until at the end they pulled out their tourist tat and demanded we buy some. Hard to say no, but it’s up to you to decide whether it’s better to feel like a sucker or a scrooge!
