Don't let "wild spots" become "dangerous spots"

Recently, a "wild scenic spot" in Wangwei Mountain, Huanghu Town, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province became popular on the Internet, and many people drove up the mountain in the early morning to watch the sunrise. Since this is not a formal scenic spot, there is no corresponding management measures and supporting services, and there are safety hazards on the winding and rugged roads on the mountain, the local area issued an emergency notice on the evening of August 21, and will implement traffic control on some roads, prohibiting vehicles other than vehicles with passes. All motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles pass.
Today, with the increasing popularity of tourism, the search for niche, unique and novel tourist destinations has become the goal of some tourists, and “wild attractions” that have not yet been developed and managed have also emerged on the Internet platform. The inaccessible winding paths make people curious and yearning, and the rugged gravel mountain road can also stimulate people's fighting spirit and courage. However, behind the freshness and excitement are hidden safety hazards that cannot be ignored. Not long ago, a "wild scenic spot" in Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province suffered a flash flood, causing 7 deaths and 8 injuries. In fact, this unique "wild spot" has always been a key area for local flash flood prevention. It often becomes a flood discharge channel in the rainy season, so it has not been developed as a scenic spot. In recent years, it has also experienced flash floods twice. To this end, the local government has set up striking warning signs and protective nets around the area, and regularly organizes manpower to persuade them to leave.
Even so, some netizens still ignore the hidden dangers behind the beauty when they recommend this "wild attraction" on social and travel platforms, so that tourists who do not know where to go come in droves, which eventually leads to a sad tragedy.
Due to the lack of development management and tourism safety facilities in "wild scenic spots", accidents are not accidental, and it is not uncommon for some tourists to be trapped and injured in "wild scenic spots". For travelers, they must not take luck and conformity, and everything should take safety as the first priority. In recent years, wild camping, hiking, mountaineering and other activities have become increasingly popular, which have played an important role in meeting people's psychological needs of embracing nature, but also exposed tourists' lack of safety awareness, insufficient risk prevention ability, and lack of survival skills in distress. . This reminds us to approach unfamiliar, unexplored destinations with caution and avoid taking risks.
Relevant social and travel platforms should actively fulfill their responsibilities for review and guidance. For the purpose of attracting traffic, some Internet celebrity bloggers go to some inaccessible wild places to check in, and use filters and other beauty tools to beautify "wild spots", but they are not aware of or avoid potential risks. This dangerous practice of invisibly leading tourists into danger should be resolutely resisted.
The government management department should also continue to strengthen supervision. For "wild scenic spots", they should increase the warning force, do a good job in safety education, formulate emergency plans, and timely block the occurrence of dangerous situations. For the "wild scenic spots" that can be developed into formal scenic spots, research and demonstration can be carried out to lay the foundation for subsequent development and better meet the tourism needs of the public.
