Do not travel on holidays Zhang Baotong 2018.10.4
During the Spring Festival, National Day, Qingming and May Day, there will be a large number of reports in the news about the overcrowding of various scenic spots and the congestion of various highways, and this congestion and traffic jam seems to be getting worse year by year. Only two or three days have passed since the National Day this year, and many such news have been reported continuously. On the day of the National Day, it was reported that on a highway, the traveling cars were parked on the highway in a dense queue. In order to kill the time while waiting, some people play mahjong at roadside stalls, while others light fires on the roadside to cook and square dance. The night before yesterday, Phoenix Satellite TV reported that in Tangshan Guye Wangjiagang, because the car was congested on the level crossing of the train, a rail car drove over, because it was too late to brake, it directly hit the car parked on the level crossing one or two meters away, and then braked the car. This morning, it was reported in the news that a total of 120 million people traveled across the country yesterday, and tens of thousands of people were blocked on the road to Huangshan, because of the crowd, tourists can only move in an average of 10 minutes. Some people scolded themselves for having to choose eleven to come to Huangshan, which was really sick in the brain.
In recent years, people have some money and love to go out, especially by driving and taking the whole family on their own trips. In the past, I worked in the district government for a while, and I found that the district party committee and all units of the district government have some groups that like to travel on their own. Every May Day or Eleventh holiday, they organize a trip together, this time to Inner Mongolia, next time to Gannan. Every time I change to a new scenic spot, I go out for about three to five days each time. In the past few days of the 11th holiday, I didn't go out, so I wanted to recruit some golfers to play together, and contacted more than 20 people, and more than 10 people were traveling outside. Most of them are retirees. I think these people really like to join in the fun, and they usually don't go out for so much time, so they have to follow other people's holiday people to participate blindly. However, I think they also took the opportunity to travel with their son or daughter.
No way, there are too many Chinese, there are 13.4 billion, if 100 million people travel, what kind of scene should it be! If it is a car trip, what kind of disaster should it be! Usually, we see that all the community roadsides and all the road sides are full of vehicles, if one percent of these vehicles are on the highway, then can the highway still be crowded? It's no wonder that sometimes a traffic jam on the highway can take an hour or two or a few hours, and the longest recorded traffic jam on the highway is 11 hours.
Think about what it's like to be stuck in traffic for hours. At least it will pour a big basin of ice water on the excitement and enthusiasm of wanting to go out and play that you have been inspiring for many days, so that you will become very depressed and irritable before you reach the attractions and scenic spots. When you finally arrive at the scenic spot or scenic spot, you will find that it is full of people's world, crowded with people, just like people from all over the world come here to worship.
The streets here are crowded, the inside and outside of the museum are crowded, the mountains are crowded, and everywhere you go, there is a crowd of people. When you see this, do you feel that this place is just like the streets in the city? Because the world is full of people, and all the scenic spots and scenery are overwhelmed by the crowd, what else do you have to see? If it is still like the Yellow Mountain, people are so crowded that they can't walk, and it makes people feel that we are not here to see the scenery, but to line up. I'm going to be annoyed to death, what else do you have to look at the landscape?
One of my golfers drove to Qinghai Lake with his daughter and son-in-law last summer. He said that Qinghai Lake was full of people, and he couldn't even find a place to park, and he wanted to find a place to stay at night, but all the hotels were full, so he had no choice but to drive to a neighboring county to find a hotel. Speaking of his impression of Qinghai Lake, he said that there were too many people there, and there was a lot of commotion everywhere, and there was a long queue to take pictures. So, they stayed by the lake for only a while, ate a grilled fish, and left in a hurry. His final conclusion was that it wasn't interesting at all.
I used to go out a lot, and during the summer vacation, I would go into the Qinling Mountains alone, sometimes walking alone in the mountains, and sometimes staying in a farmer's house for a day or two, or three or five days. One of my most memorable trips was to the giant panda conservation area in the primeval forest of Foping, where I stayed for seven or eight days with the head of the reserve's security section at the time. The early morning and evening there, the showers and the sunrise there all left me with unforgettable memories.
Another time I went to Nanhu Lake in Hanzhong in 98, it happened to be Qingming that day, and it rained quite heavily, and there were only three or four of us tourists in the whole park. The South Lake in the rain is fresh and clean, silent, misty and misty, misty and misty, beautiful as a fairyland. If it is a sunny day and full of tourists, it will inevitably destroy the sound and beauty of the South Lake.
Viewing the scenery has the meaning of appreciation, which can give people inspiration and insight into life. Therefore, it is necessary to use the eyes to see the scenery, but to deeply appreciate it is to use the heart. Only by immersing the soul deeply in it and dissolving it can we have a taste and understanding.
We are usually busy and don't travel abroad, but we have always cherished a desire in our hearts to go somewhere we want to go. Our goal is to make that place unforgettable, so we have to choose the right time, because the effect and feeling of seeing the scenery are very different at different times and different moods. Of course, this is not to say that we should not travel on holidays, but we should choose different places at different times. There are a lot of people in Beijing and Shanghai, and if you go to Beijing and Shanghai on vacation, you will definitely not have a good time. If you choose a less popular scenic spot or scenic spot, or go to a remote mountainous village to live for two or three days, you may have unexpected gains, at least you will not be annoyed and frustrated by traffic jams and congestion.
When it comes to travel, many people's interest is still at the level of crowd and following the crowd. What they value is only the process of traveling, and they don't care about the harvest and meaning. There are many such people in our community, and when they hear that Thailand is good, they flock to Thailand together, and tomorrow they see that everyone else has gone to Japan, so they immediately form a group to go to Japan. They don't know the purpose of their trip at all, but they follow everyone to play and coax.
There are also some people who are completely out of vanity, specifically looking for some cheap tour groups to travel, not to mention bad food, bad housing, and often let people be trapped in some shopping stores for a few hours and can't get out, but they like to tell others that they have been here, have been there, as if they have been everywhere, talking about the harvest is nothing more than what food they ate, what stores they lived, what streets they visited, what things they bought, and if you want to say that the specific harvest is to take a lot of photos, and then send them to various groups. There are also some people who travel purely in a form, they go to tourist attractions or scenic spots, and they don't watch much, but everyone is busy playing mahjong together, or they are busy playing with their mobile phones all the time, and they don't know what they are doing here.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the psychology of the crowd that there will be so many people and cars traveling outside the holidays, but more people and more cars will destroy the resources of tourism, destroy the scenery of tourism, and destroy the fun and mood of tourism, so try not to travel on holidays.
