The outskirts of Jilin City, where it has just snowed, are all white. March 1 was the first weekend of "re skiing" in major ski resorts in Jilin Province during the epidemic. On the same day, the reporter saw in some ski resorts that tourists should keep a distance when queuing, dining and taking the cable car, and masks and real name appointments are standard.
Wanke Songhua Lake Ski Resort, located 15 kilometers away from Jilin City, must make an appointment 24 hours in advance. Visitors need to enter the resort with their ID cards, appointment codes, masks, registration and temperature measurement, and the flow limit is 3000.
In front of the snow gear hall, there are more than 10 skiing enthusiasts queuing here, and staff on the scene remind them to keep a distance of 1.5 meters. Tian Jingyi, the director of the hall, told reporters that the hall can receive 500 people. During the epidemic, flow restriction measures were taken. Only 20 people were allowed to enter at the same time each time, and the number of indoor tourists would not exceed 100.
"The snow gear rented from us will be disinfected. After tourists return, we will disinfect again and put it in a ventilated place for 3 to 4 days before renting it." Tian Jingyi said that most tourists brought their own snow gear to ensure safety during the epidemic. At present, the ski resort also advocates this way.
At about 10 am that day, the number of skiers waiting for the cable car near the ski trail gradually increased, and most of the crowd consciously kept their distance. Yang Zhi, the staff responsible for maintaining order at the scene, reminded them to wear masks all the time. While waiting, some tourists practice their skills in a limited distance.
Wang Yitong, 10 years old, lives in Jilin City. She was accompanied by her parents to the ski resort. She said, "I stayed at home for a long time this holiday. This time, skiing can exercise my body and strengthen my immunity." Wang Wenyong, the parent, believed that although the epidemic was still in place, the risk of outdoor sports could be controlled under the premise of good protection. While waiting in line for the cable car, he reminded his daughter to pay attention to safety.
According to the data provided by Huang Zhongrui, the manager of the resort's marketing department, the ski resort reopened on February 25. As of February 28, it had received 5099 ski tourists, 70% of whom were from Jilin City and 30% from other regions in the province. On February 29, it received more than 1700 people.
"Our Qingshan Hotel was opened on the 28th, and now it mainly receives tourists from Jilin Province, most of whom choose to travel by car." Huang Zhongrui said that in order to reduce the population density, more than 80% of the ski area has been opened in the ski resort, and a number of cableways have been opened to ensure the ski capacity.
Jilin City is located in the golden latitude zone of ice and snow, known as the "ski paradise". There are nine urban ski resorts, including Zhuque Mountain, Wujia Mountain, Lianhua Mountain, Jixue, and Mingshan Oasis. Skiing beginners and senior players from all over the country can find suitable skiing routes. Every winter, there are skiing enthusiasts from all over the world.
The ski resort of the North Lake, which has been "banned" for many days, also "resumed skiing" on February 25.
Yan Shuai, director of the marketing department of Beidahu Ski Resort, said that at present, the ski resort only receives individual tourists, not tour groups, and receives no more than 2000 people every day.
It is reported that the ski resort is operated according to the local Notice on Printing and Distributing the Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Epidemic Situation in the Resumption of Jilin Provincial Government Offices, Enterprises and Institutions (1.0). The epidemic prevention measures taken include receiving snow gear, keeping a distance of 1.5 meters before and after taking meals, a single table in the restaurant, tourists receiving temperature measurement twice a day, and the cable car pulling up to two people each time.
Yang Xu, a tourist from Jilin City, said that his unit had not returned to work and he came to the ski resort to relax with sports. "He has always been concerned about the epidemic, and this time he came to ski to decompress." He said that this holiday he has been concerned about the opening hours of the scenic spot, and after this campaign, he is ready to use "a good mental outlook to welcome the resumption of work".
It is understood that the local ski resorts with good natural conditions in Jilin will be open until late March every year, and the peak season is from early February to mid March. (Shi Hongyu)
