Warm Tips for Travelers When Traveling in Rainy and Snowy Weather

Dear Visitors,

According to meteorological information, a cold wave will affect most regions of China from December 10 to 13, and our city will experience the strongest rain and snow process since the beginning of winter. To make your travels more reassuring, worry-free, and enjoyable, we hereby issue the following travel tips for rainy and snowy weather: roads are slippery in snow, so never forget travel safety. Take proper measures to keep warm and shield against the wind to ensure a safe visit.

1. Pay close attention to weather and scenic spot information: Before departure, use weather forecast apps, official scenic spot channels, and other means to learn in detail about weather changes at your destination and along the route, as well as the opening status of scenic spots. Avoid visiting dangerous areas prone to disasters. If scenic spots are temporarily closed or adjust their opening hours due to weather, please cooperate actively and adjust your itinerary promptly.

2. Take proper measures to keep warm and protect against the cold: Bring sufficient warm clothing according to the weather, such as down jackets, thick sweaters, scarves, gloves, and warm hats. Wear non-slip and warm shoes to prevent slipping and frostbite. Bring rain gear to avoid getting wet from rain or snow, which may cause colds or physical discomfort.

3. Pay attention to traffic safety: Before departure, learn in detail about the weather conditions and road condition information at the destination. Carefully inspect key components of the vehicle such as brakes, tires, and engine oil to ensure the vehicle is in good condition. Considering that roads are prone to icing in snowy weather, control your speed, maintain a safe following distance, and strictly prohibit fatigue driving. In rainy or snowy weather when the road surface is slippery, slow down even more and avoid sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp steering.

4. Travel agencies should arrange itineraries reasonably: Travel agencies must strictly implement the "Five Prohibitions on Chartering" system for tourist charter buses, rent vehicles with legal qualifications, and sign contracts clarifying the responsibilities of both parties. During the tour, remind tourists to fasten their seat belts throughout the journey. When traveling on snowy, icy, or shaded roads, the tour guide should remind the driver to drive cautiously and never take risks.

5. Safety when visiting scenic spots: Follow signs and the guidance of staff within scenic spots. Do not venture into dangerous or unopened areas. Be especially careful when passing through slippery sections such as steps, slopes, and plank walkways. In case of emergencies, remain calm, follow the instructions of scenic spot staff, and evacuate in an orderly manner.

We hope that while you enjoy your travels, you will put safety first. May you have a pleasant and safe journey!
