Shanghai, which is jokingly called "the capital of coffee" by netizens, has always held a lot of coffee activities, and some coffee festivals have been held one after another, which has become a grand event admired by coffee lovers. This is not, in the crisp autumn today, a coffee event in a park in Shanghai arrived as promised, attracting countless "coffee heads" to go.

According to photos shared on social media by netizens in Shanghai, the event began this morning. Although it was a working day, many people came to visit the coffee festival in their spare time. Before noon, a large number of tourists were gathered at the entrance waiting for entry. Many people said that the speed of queuing to enter the venue was not fast, and the waiting time was basically more than an hour.

If you buy the official "magic box" in advance, you can take the fast track through the tickets in the box and enter the coffee festival in less than ten minutes.

When we arrived at the venue, the splendor of the sea of people was shocking. as long as we raised the phone and took a random shot, the photos were full of people. so much so that netizens said bluntly that the flow of people at this coffee festival was "comparable to that of the Spring Festival", "it was so crowded that it was explosive" and "it was like a Disney queue". Many people have no choice but to say that after entering the arena, they are crowded and pushed forward by people around them, for fear that their uncovered drinks will be accidentally spilled on strangers.

However, this situation is the norm in the eyes of regular users, who say that the coffee festival has been held for many years and has a high popularity and popularity, so the event can still be packed even on weekdays when there are supposed to be few people.

However, the crowded scene like going to the market greatly affected the experience of tourists, and many people reported that they had to queue in front of the booth to buy a cup of coffee at the scene, some for more than ten minutes and some for an hour or two.

What makes tourists crazy is that the signal at the event is so poor that it won't help even if the official Wi-Fi is provided free of charge. Regular customers said that the "poor signal" is the point that the coffee festival complains every year, but each coffee festival has not improved much, and many people have to face the embarrassment of not being able to pay for drinks by mobile phone.

As for the platitudes of prices, opinions vary. Some people think that special coffee with a price between 38 yuan and 68 yuan is acceptable. Others said that "the prices of some gold-winning coffees are generally 88,100,200 cups" and "mini small cups are all 4.50". They think that the price of drinks at this year's coffee festival has gone up.

In addition, according to some tourists, in addition to the enthusiasts who are looking forward to coffee, there are also many econnoisseur who do not know much about coffee at the scene. In order to get the gifts prepared by the merchants, some of them pushed and pushed in front of the booth to fish in troubled waters and shoplift, causing trouble to the merchants and consumers in line, making the staff pointed out at the scene exhausted.

For the people who come to the appointment at every coffee festival, they have witnessed their gradual transformation from a local event to a "coffee fair" attended by merchants from all over the country. One cannot help feeling that the number of merchants and tourists participating in the coffee festival is increasing year by year, and the scene is becoming more and more lively.

But there are also some regular users who said bluntly that they went in and went back empty-handed after going through a crowd of people this year. They said that they thought that the coffee festival, which was complained about year after year, would learn from the lessons of previous years and become better and better, but in fact this is not the case. with more people and a stronger commercial atmosphere, the relaxation and coffee flavor of the coffee festival have faded.
