Citizens play and skate on the ice. (*Photo by Xinwang reporter Geng Run).Xinwang on February 8A few days ago, three children stepped on the ice to play on a frozen artificial lake, but the danger of being trapped in the middle of the lake is worrying. And the same potentially dangerous scene is constantly staged on the surface of the Li Cun River: "The river is frozen, but the ice is not thick, and there are adults leading children to skate on the river, which is really a big safety hazard." In this regard, the staff of the Licang District River Management Service Center said that they would strengthen the frequency of river patrols and persuade citizens in a timely manner.
On the morning of February 7, Xinwang came to the river at the intersection of Jufeng Road and Binhe Road in Licang District, Qingdao City, and found that there were still many parents holding hands and leading their children to play and skate on the ice in the upper reaches of the Licun River. Xinwang walked up to the river, picked up a 15-centimeter square stone and threw it at the ice, and there were no cracks in the thick ice. However, in the relatively loose position of the ice, there will be a "click" cracking sound when the reporter walks. In the past few days, the temperature has fluctuated, and there is a temperature difference between noon and night, and the thickness of the ice is not stable.
Warning signs**.

It is understood that the Licun River basin freezes every winter, but because the temperature this year is lower than the same period in previous years, parents believe that the ice on the river is very thick and will not break and cause danger. However, an elderly man on the shore told Xinwang that the ice layer of the river water is light and thin, and the carrying capacity of the ice surface is weak, so there are certain safety hazards when playing on the ice. "Every year there are people who fall into the skate, but luckily the river is not deep and there are no drownings. ”
It is understood that the Licun River itself is a flood channel, and the river water flows all year round, even if it freezes, it will not be too thick. And according to the weather forecast, Qingdao will be dominated by sunny to cloudy weather during the Spring Festival, with a maximum temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, which will naturally accelerate the melting of river ice.
In response to such situations, the staff of the Licang District River Management Service Center said that the city management bureau has set up warning signs around the river to prohibit ice skating, but some citizens are still lucky. The staff will increase the frequency of river patrols every day, and when they find someone skating on the river, they will persuade them in time. At the same time, it also calls on the general public not to skate around the river on weekdays, enhance the awareness of self-prevention, build a strong safety line of defense, and beware of danger.
