Chapter 836 Planting Potatoes(2/2)
The tourists who came were also very surprised to see a large group of foreigners at the base. After learning that they were members of the YU Umbrella Association, they quickly chatted together.
Harnes and the others also heard more things related to the base from these tourists. The reason why these tourists came directly without making a reservation for the space capsule was because they had been here once before and experienced the space capsule that time.
The experience is not bad, but the price is too high.
It is said that the space capsule was originally priced at US$350, but after it was actually opened, the price was set at RMB 1,000, which was much less than the US$350 initially rumored.
This price is the same all over the world, no matter where tourists come from, it is the same price, and there are no discounts for group purchases. If you come in a group like Hanes and others, it is still 1,000 yuan per person.
A one-thousand-yuan stay is unaffordable for most Chinese tourists.
Comparatively speaking, living in a tent is much more cost-effective. If you don’t bring a tent, you can live in a tent provided by the base for only 100 yuan per person per night.
In addition to the unique experience of living in a space capsule, the only advantage is that you can take a shower. In addition, the base will provide material packages for tourists living in the space capsule.
There aren't many things in the supply bag, they're all food and drink, and there's a lot of drinking water.
Although the Mars base looks boring, there are quite a lot of things you can do, the most popular of which is probably growing potatoes.
At the base, there is a room left over from the filming of "The Martian". There are many potatoes planted in it. When visitors come, they can also plant a potato in it.
Growing potatoes here in Mangya is much easier than on Mars, and you can basically succeed if you just plant them.
Because the base has such a project, potatoes are often included in the meals provided to tourists by the base.
