Civilized Tourism Initiative
——Let every journey become a civilized landscape
Dear Tourists:
Travel is a process of exploring the beautiful, and also a window to showcase one's cultivation. Every scenic spot deserves gentle treatment, and every encounter should convey goodwill. To this end, we issue the following initiative to all tourists:
I. Civilized Behavior, Starting from Small Details
Walk lightly and slowly, be considerate of others. When queuing in scenic areas, please observe order, do not push or make noise; in museums, memorials, etc., please walk softly and lower your voice, respecting the experience of other visitors. When taking photos, do not climb on cultural relics or trample on flowers and plants, leaving a complete beauty for those who come later.
Protect the environment and safeguard nature. Carry an eco-friendly bag, take away garbage such as fruit peels and tissues from the scenic area, and achieve "leaving only memories, leaving no trace". If you encounter behavior that damages the environment, please actively dissuade or contact the staff; your efforts will make the mountains and rivers cleaner.
II. Respect Culture, Make Travel Warmer
Respect local customs and traditions. Respect ethnic customs and habits, do not casually comment on traditional clothing or ceremonies, and convey friendliness with a smile. When visiting religious sites and historical sites, please follow the instructions such as "no photography" and "do not touch exhibits", and do not violate the rules out of curiosity.
Protect cultural relics and inherit civilization. Refuse to carve words on city walls or ancient trees; what you see as "I was here" is a damage to thousands of years of civilization. If you find a risk of damage to cultural relics, please inform the management personnel immediately and be a "guardian" of cultural heritage.
III. Youth Power, Leading a New Trend of Civilization
Dear young friends, you are the most active group on your travels and natural disseminators of civilized tourism. Lead the trend with civilized behavior, creatively convey civilization; when shooting short videos, please record more heartwarming scenes of cleaning up garbage and helping others, and less "destructive check-in" following the trend. Influence others with your actions, participate in activities such as "civilized travel relay" and "leave no trace camping challenge", and let a fresh breeze blow through social platforms. Serve the society with enthusiasm, actively serve as volunteers during your travels, guide tourists, explain the rules, and let youthful energy light up your journey.
IV. Walking Together, Building a Wonderful Journey
Civilized tourism is not a constraint, but a gentle commitment to the world. If you encounter uncivilized behavior, please give a kind reminder and less indifferent observation. If you see elderly people or children who need help, please lend a helping hand and make the journey full of warmth. If you have suggestions for scenic area services, please provide feedback through formal channels to jointly promote the improvement of the tourism environment.
V. Safe Travel, Building a Safe Journey
Increase safety awareness, do not go to undeveloped areas for exploration, do not participate in high-risk activities, and ensure your own safety; abide by traffic rules, self-driving tourists do not overspeed, do not drink and drive, do not drive while fatigued, and be civilized and courteous to pedestrians.
VI. Friendly Mutual Assistance, Passing on Warmth
Respect the rights and interests of others, give way when taking photos, and do not occupy public facilities or scenic spots for a long time. Enthusiastically help the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women, actively provide convenience for others, and create a mutually supportive and friendly atmosphere. Rationally handle disputes, solve problems through legal channels, and resolve conflicts with an inclusive mentality.
Beautiful scenery is for appreciation, and virtues are for admiration. Let us join hands, starting from ourselves, starting from small details, sharing the beautiful scenery of Shangri-La in the world, establishing a civilized image, and sharing civilized tourism!
