Wulingyuan welcomes summer tourism peak

Wulingyuan Core Scenic Area Welcomes Tourism Peak

Visitors to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park are gradually increasing

The core scenic spot Wulingyuan tourist peak

In mid-to-late July, as summer vacation tourism continued to surge, Wulingyuan, the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie, a world natural heritage site, ushered in a peak in tourism reception. Popular tourist routes such as Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, Shili Gallery, Tianzi Mountain, and Huangshi Village are crowded with tourists. According to statistics from the Wulingyuan District Tourism Committee, since July 15, the average daily reception of Wulingyuan core scenic spots has exceeded 45,000, with the peak reaching 51,000. The reception of other scenic spots (spots) such as Baofeng Lake and Huanglong Cave has also been booming.

Wulingyuan Scenic Area has many attractions, long tourist routes and ample reception space. According to the relevant person in charge of the Wulingyuan District Tourism Committee, the Wulingyuan 5a Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie has a daily reception capacity of 111,380 people and an instantaneous capacity of 62,000 people. Judging from the current reception situation, the daily carrying capacity of the scenic spot is far from reaching the data released by the National Tourism Administration. It can be said that Wulingyuan, the core scenic spot in Zhangjiajie, still has a large reception space, so Chinese and foreign tourists can rest assured.

Long queues at scenic spots have always been a major concern when receiving peak tourists. The author understands that the Bailong Elevator, which used to have the longest queues of tourists, has all three elevators expanded and upgraded this year, with a capacity of 6,000 people per hour. Coupled with the effective diversion of the Yangjiajie Cableway and Huangshizhai Cableway, the up and down mountain passages in the core scenic area of ​​Wulingyuan are basically smooth and orderly. At the same time, in order to meet the reception needs, Wulingyuan, a core scenic spot, has also invested in 251 environmentally friendly vehicles to ensure transportation capacity.

The news that "it's hard to find a room" circulating on the Internet is not true. It is understood that there are more than 50,000 beds in hotels, specialty inns, and family hotels in Wulingyuan area, and the average occupancy rate is about 70%. However, the demand for accommodation in small and medium-sized hotels and specialty inns priced below 400 yuan is relatively large. Therefore, tourists from all over the world who enter Wulingyuan do not have to worry about having no housing.

In order to ensure the reception of summer tourism, the Wulingyuan District Tourism Working Committee has comprehensively strengthened all aspects of guarantee and command and dispatch. The main leaders of Wulingyuan District and Zhangjiakou Management Bureau are supervising the reception work on the front line, grasping the reception dynamics of each scenic spot in real time, and organizing and guiding the diversion in an orderly manner. Functional units such as tourism, public security, industry and commerce, traffic police, and health have strengthened their on-duty strength, emergency preparedness, and safety precautions to ensure that tourists are safe and satisfied in Wulingyuan. According to feedback from Wulingyuan District’s “Safety and Satisfaction in Zhangjiajie” office, there have been no major tourism complaints in the district since July.

Unconditional refund if you queue for more than 30 minutes to enter Huanglong Cave

Huanglong Cave Offers Unconditional Refunds for Excessive Queuing

This week, a message from the public WeChat ID of Huanglong Cave Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie has "popularized" the tour guide circle. The Huanglong Cave Scenic Area has made a public commitment to tourists from all over the world: if the queue to enter the cave exceeds 30 minutes, the scenic spot will unconditionally refund the ticket price. In the gradually heating up summer tourism market, what confidence does Huanglong Cave have to make this promise?

According to the staff of the scenic spot, the increase in the capacity of the scenic spot’s cruise ships and the scientific allocation of tourists’ boarding and disembarkation time have become the keys to a smooth visit to the cave. According to the bottleneck phenomenon of "summer vacation tours" in scenic spots in the past summer vacations, Huanglong Cave invested more than 4.7 million yuan this year to purchase 30 nickel-metal hydride battery cruise ships at one time, which were put into use in May. Charging piles were added and updated, so that the maximum capacity of the cruise ships reached 3,600 people per hour, ensuring the safety and smooth flow of the Dragon Palace. In addition, the scenic spot also launched night tour services, extending the tour time by two hours, allowing tourists to travel more freely during the summer vacation. Comfortable; in addition to the more than 50 tour guides on duty, the scenic spot has also selected more than 20 needy students from many tourism schools to form a "reserve tour guide group", which not only provides students with work-study opportunities, but also greatly eases the reception pressure of the scenic spot during the summer tourist season. As a comprehensive scenic spot where the world's natural heritage, ecological pastoral scenery, folk customs, humanities and performing arts complement each other, Huanglong Cave's multi-dimensional tourism products also effectively divert guests during peak periods.

It is understood that as of the end of June, the Huanglong Cave Scenic Area had received nearly 520,000 tourists, a year-on-year increase of 24.28%. At present, there are no long queues in the scenic area. Entering the peak tourist season, the staff of the scenic spot reminds: If the tour guides and tourists miss the peak of the scenic spot, it will be more leisurely to choose to visit from 10 am to 2 pm, and it will be more novel to visit Huanglong Cave at night from 5 pm to 8 pm.
