scenic spot : patrol personnel persuaded to leave the calcification protection zone
22, Huanglong Scenic Area responded to this, saying that after verification, on the afternoon of the 18th, some tourists climbed over the guardrail and entered the travertine protection zone to take photos without regard to the warning signs and warm reminders of the scenic spot on civilized and safe travel. After the patrol staff of the scenic spot discovered it, they immediately stepped forward to stop it and persuaded him to leave the travertine protection zone and return to the scenic spot to visit the plank road.
The reporter learned from the Huanglong Scenic Area Management Bureau that the scenic area built a plank road to plan tour routes and set up guardrails to prevent tourists from stepping on calcified beaches. The scenic area has also set up signs prohibiting overpasses of guardrails in many places, but it has not stopped some people from walking alone.
It is reported that the Wucai Pond in Huanglong Scenic Area is 3576 meters above sea level, with a pool area of 21,000 square meters and 693 color pools. is the largest and highest-altitude open-air travertine color pool group in the world today.

Expert: Once travertine is damaged, it is almost impossible to repair
What is travertine beach? How did travertine beaches form? Can it be repaired after being destroyed?
Experts said that travertine is a chemical precipitation that water rich in large amounts of minerals spills from the underground and occurs on the surface of channels or slopes. When travertines accumulate in large quantities, travertine beaches are formed. The formation of travertine not only requires strict and complex natural conditions, but also has a very slow formation rate, and once damaged, it is almost impossible to repair.
Expert: The formation speed of travertine is at most a few millimeters per year, and the fewest ones are only a few millimeters in zero points. To give a simple example, how to restore a stone after it is broken is basically irreversible.
Zhu Guangquan: Don’t use "close contact" to bring "irrepairable"
In fact, it is not just the Travertine Beach that was injured. In recent years, from Danxia landform to ancient building reliefs, many landscape scenic spots have encountered the "ruthless feet" of willful tourists. In 2017, three tourists climbed the Giant Python Peak in Sanqingshan, Jiangxi through destructive methods such as electric drilling and drilling holes, causing irreparable and serious damage to the Giant Python Peak rock column.
For such behaviors, severe measures can only warn and punish, but cannot restore the harm it brings. And these precious natural resources and cultural landscapes are difficult to regenerate and restore. Since you are looking at the scenery with fame, respect should be first in the name of love. Some beauty can only be seen from afar, not to be played with. Don’t let the willful "intimate contact" bring "bruises" to the scenic spot.
