On May 3rd, it's already halfway through the May Day holiday, and everyone has witnessed the booming tourism industry, with crowds of people at all major tourist attractions across the country.
CCTV has also issued a reminder that with the increase in travelers, it is essential to pay attention to safety risks and has provided a safety travel guide:
Reject "wild attractions"
Do not enter undeveloped or areas not open to the public such as protected areas, reservoirs, canyons, uninhabited islands, beaches, and popular attractions for activities like mountain climbing, sightseeing, exploration, swimming, camping, etc. Consciously resist the behavior of traveling to these "wild attractions" for check-ins.
Avoid harsh weather
No matter how well-equipped or experienced in outdoor activities, it is crucial to avoid traveling in severe weather conditions. Before traveling, check the local weather forecast. If there are warnings of heavy rain, strong winds, etc., adjust your itinerary promptly. If encountering severe weather in outdoor areas, pay attention to keeping warm, change into dry clothes in time, and seek help if necessary.
Beware of geological disasters
Plan a safe route in advance, understand road conditions and weather. Do not visit mountainous, canyon, or water-related scenic spots in thunderstorm weather to prevent risks of landslides, falling rocks, mudslides, flash floods, and other natural disasters.
Watch out for accidental falls
Be cautious of slippery roads. When hiking on steep terrains like cliffs, steep slopes, etc., pay special attention. When taking photos, be mindful of what's behind you, find a stable place to stand, and avoid climbing to the top of buildings for pictures.
Carefully choose paths in the mountains and forests
Try to end activities before dark. If you can't identify directions or routes at night, immediately call for help. While waiting for rescue, describe your location clearly and avoid moving around randomly.
Enhance fire prevention awareness
When playing in forest areas, do not carry any fire sources, smoke, or light fires for illumination. No wild camping or barbecuing in forest scenic areas. When staying in guesthouses or inns in scenic areas, pay attention to evacuation routes, stairs, safety exits, and the location of fire extinguishing equipment inside and outside the room.
