At 22 o'clock in the evening of December 12, the Beijing Meteorological Observatory upgraded and issued an orange warning for blizzard, and it is expected that from the morning of December 13 to the morning of the 15th, there will be heavy snow to blizzard in Beijing, of which 10 o'clock to 20 o'clock on the 13th is the strongest period of the snowfall process. Liu Xiaomeng, a police officer from the Forbidden City Police Station of the Tiananmen District Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the Forbidden City Police Station), said that many tourists like to brave the snow to enjoy the scenery, and the enthusiasm of the masses to come to the Forbidden City has only increased, and all tickets were sold out on December 13. In order to cope with the blizzard, the police of the Forbidden City Police Station have strengthened patrols and reminded passengers to pay attention to their own safety.
At 9 o'clock in the morning of December 13, snowflakes drifted over the Palace Museum in Beijing, and policemen Liu Xiaomeng, Yang Jun and Chen Wentao walked out of the Forbidden City Police Station together and began their daily patrol work.
Tourists, the ground is slippery, please pay attention to the safety of your feet during the visit, slow down and slow down, prevent falling, do not stay near the construction site, rockery, big trees, eaves, etc., to prevent the snow from melting and falling off and injuring people......"The loudspeaker set up by the Palace Museum has a reminder to visit the garden.
When the policeman Chen Wentao passed through the Zhenshun Gate (the exit of the Treasure Hall), he used his feet to clean up the snow floating on the marble, stomped his feet and said: "The marble will be particularly slippery when it falls on the snow, so take out the reminder sign of 'slide carefully' and put it here." Subsequently, the staff on duty at Zhenshun Gate took out the reminder sign and put it at the exit as a reminder. Chen Wentao said that the Palace Museum had just opened at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the tourists had not yet walked to the Treasure Hall, so it was safer to prepare the reminder signs early.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes gradually changed from sporadic particles to large pieces of falling, Liu Xiaomeng, together with the accompanying police, went to the Forbidden City cultural and creative store one by one to instruct the staff, "The passenger flow is getting bigger and bigger, pay attention to cleaning up the snow in front of the door in time, and the security officer at the door is in place, beware of passengers falling." ”
Hello, where is the Donghua Gate?”
You go straight through the red wall road and turn left again. During the patrol, Liu Xiaomeng provided guidance services for tourists at any time, and also told the tour guide who led the group tour.
The group is full of uncles and aunts, you must take care of it when you lead the group, the road is slippery in heavy snow, and you must pay attention to safety. Liu Xiaomeng saw that the tour guide who led the group had to say a few words.
Liu Xiaomeng said that when they see older tourists, they will tell the tour guide that the road to the Palace Museum is not a smooth river, and there are paths built with wooden planks, which will be particularly slippery when it snows, so they need to be reminded again and again. Every day, there are tourists in the Palace Museum who leave their belongings, and it is easy to take their ID cards out and drop them during the period of taking pictures with their mobile phones on snowy days, and the patrol police will also remind them repeatedly.
Liu Xiaomeng said that in order to provide timely convenience for passengers on snowy days, the Forbidden City Police Station has always set up convenient service points at Wumen and Shenwumen, and if passengers encounter difficulties, they can contact the police at these two locations at any time.
