Over-Priced Train Tickets Being Sold Online
According to the Guangzhou Railway Group, Guangdong's railway network is working at full capacity, and no more additional trains can be put into operation before the holiday begins. Our journalist Xie Xin has the details:
Due to the rarity of train tickets, we've spotted people selling tickets for a much more expensive price over the Internet. The director of Guangzhou's railway public security, Zhang Wei, advises ticket-buyers to be aware of such frauds. He said:Some swindlers don't even have the tickets; they are only posting false information online to defraud money from buyers. Also be aware of ticket-sellers who claim to be selling real tickets at higher prices, but actually, what they have are fake tickets.
Zhang also revealed that so far over 2000 fake-ticket sellers have been arrested.

Many People Prefer Litter Restaurants for New Year Dinner
With five days to go until the Chinese New Year, the Guangzhou Daily contacted several famous restaurants throughout the city, who appear to be booked at only 70 to 80% for the New Year's Eve Dinner. They suggest that this is due to the fact that prices this year have gone-up by 10%. People have favored smaller restaurants near their living communities since the food is relatively good but significantly cheaper.
