In the heavy snow, the Summer Palace welcomed many tourists, and the freshly fallen snow was quickly trampled. In order to ensure the safety of tourists, and at the same time to protect the ancient building, the staff shoveled off the thin ice on the hundreds of steps of the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, and kept repeating the ...... of sprinkling thin sand, clearing snow, and shoveling snow
At 8 o'clock in the morning of December 14, 30 staff members of the Buddha Xiangge Scenic Area of the Summer Palace had arrived at their posts in advance to prepare for the opening of the park. The snow fell overnight, and a layer of ice accumulated on the more than 100 white marble steps leading to the Buddha Xiang Pavilion in Wanshou Mountain. "The Summer Palace is a World Heritage Site, and in order to avoid harm to the environment and buildings, the entire garden cannot be de-iced by salt or other chemical methods. The staff of the Summer Palace introduced. Therefore, the staff of the Buddha Xiang Pavilion adopted the most primitive method, bent down, took a shovel to give priority to removing the ice in the one-meter-wide area against the wall of the steps, and opened up a road up the mountain for tourists before the opening of the Buddha Xiang Pavilion scenic spot.
Heavy snow is falling one after another, and the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion is constantly visited by tourists, and the soft snow is stepped on by tourists, becoming hard and slippery. Foxiang Pavilion has a history of more than 200 years, due to the age, the white marble steps themselves have been polished smooth, plus the steps have 217 steps, unlike walking on the flat road, falling on the steps, there is a potential danger to personal safety, how to protect the safety of visitors in the snow is very important.
In the past few days of snowfall, Liu Chen, the squad leader of Foxiang Pavilion, and his colleagues have been "competing" with these more than 200 steps. The steps of the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion are relatively steep, and under the snow, Liu Chen sprinkled a layer of thin sand on the place where the tourists stepped on it, increasing friction and anti-slip, and he repeated the same action step by step, carrying his back and constantly retreating downward. Once you've done it all over again, you'll have to climb the stairs to start the next round. Taking advantage of the gap when there are few tourists, the staff will take brooms and shovels to clear the hard snow on the steps, and so on. They had to be busy until the park closed in the evening, when the last group of tourists left.
Not only the Foxiang Pavilion Scenic Area, but also the Seventeen-Hole Bridge, the Four Great Continents, the Banbi Bridge and other steep slopes or steps dense road sections, also used sand to prevent slipping, only on the 13th and 14th, about 500 bags of sand were used. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of tourists enjoying the scenery in the snow, the Summer Palace uses "eighteen kinds of martial arts". More than 1,000 staff and cleaners were involved in clearing the snowIn the west area of the Summer Palace, the cultivation and weaving map scenic area, the east embankment and other wide road sections, five snowplows were also dispatched to work uninterruptedly, and the cleaning efficiency was greatly improvedMore than 400 anti-skid signs and more than 300 linear meters of non-skid blankets have been set up in the scenic spots, mountain and stone roads and key parts of the park gate areaThe park has also temporarily closed steep mountain roads, and rescue teams are on standby 24 hours a day to ensure smooth communication.
