Singapore tourist says he spent 6 hours looking for booked China hotel, only to be turned away

A Singapore man travelling in Shanxi, China, went on a wild goose chase trying to locate his accommodation booked through a travel platform.When he finally succeeded, he was supposedly told the lodging does not accept foreigners.The tourist, surnamed Wu, complained to Shin Min Daily News that he made a $30 booking for the place in Taiyuan city from Sept 28 to Oct 2 on Agoda.The 54-year-old, who works as a security guard, claimed the booking platform did not provide the hotel's contact number or full address.He could only search for its location using its name, Ruiping Hotel. "After arriving at 8am, I followed the map and went one big round, only to reach another hotel," he said.Exhausted after the long search, he tried to check in to that hotel but was told they could only host Chinese nationals. He then found a nearby accommodation for $58.Wu resumed his search for his original lodging the next morning and finally located it using another navigation map.But he was shocked to hear he could not stay there too.
