Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Park in Lijiang City, Yunnan Province announced on the 22nd that the number of visitors allowed to enter the park will be controlled at 6.5438+0 million from now on, mainly to protect glacier resources, ensure the safe operation of cableway equipment and enhance the tourist experience.

As one of the snow-capped mountains with the lowest latitude in the northern hemisphere, Yulong Snow Mountain attracts domestic and foreign tourists with its magnificent snow and ice beauty. However, affected by global warming, the snow and ice are melting rapidly and the snow line is rising, which affects the beautiful landscape of Yulong Snow Mountain.

"If the maximum carrying capacity of Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area is not stipulated, tourism resources will be destroyed because tourists exceed the carrying capacity." Zhu, director of the Management Committee of Lijiang Yulong Snow Mountain Provincial Tourism Development Zone, said at the press conference held on the 22nd.

According to statistics, from 20 15 to 20 17, the scenic spots received 2.26 million, 2.67 million and 2.59 million Chinese and foreign tourists respectively. Zhu said that every Spring Festival, National Day, summer vacation and other holidays, Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Park is full of tourists.

According to reports, according to the normal operation capacity of the cableway in Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Park, it takes about 11hour to complete the reception work of110,000 people per day. The climatic conditions in this area are complex and the climate changes frequently. Under special weather conditions such as strong wind and snowstorm, the ropeway cannot transport tourists at the normal design speed, and even has to stop.

Zhu said that the limited number of ropeways in Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Park is 1 10,000 per day, which is also to ensure the safe operation of ropeway equipment, ensure the safety of tourists and enhance the experience of tourists visiting Glacier Park.
