On January 9, the warm winter sun painted the Qifeng Xiulin in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
Located in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the Wulingyuan Cableway is a major transportation route connecting attractions such as Tianzi Mountain, Suoxiyu, Yangjiazhai and Yuanjiajie. With a total length of 2,091 meters, the ropeway is an ideal means of aerial transportation, passing through the green valley of Qifeng and Qifeng Valley, and the scenery along the route is amazing. In less than 7 minutes, visitors can enjoy strange pine rocks, green forests, secluded springs, and macaque play. The ropeway has been in safe operation for 25 years, and behind the zero accidents is the tireless work of more than 90 employees who are always on duty and inspecting day and night.

Approaching the Spring Festival holiday, the employees of the ropeway company are fully prepared. In the monitoring room of the lower station of the ropeway, Chen Kangjia, a young man from Henan born in 1993, stared at the monitoring platform with his eyes. "At 6:30 in the morning, I got up to do the morning inspection of the ropeway." While introducing, he looked at the safe operation information of the ropeway on the monitoring screen, "If there is any abnormal situation in the operation of the ropeway, the safe operation information bar on the screen will be displayed as soon as possible." Therefore, during the operation of the ropeway, there can be no one here. ”

Chen Kangjia, an electrical maintenance worker, will continue to stick to his post during the Spring Festival holiday this year, which is also his fourth Spring Festival on the ropeway. "I haven't started a family yet, so I gave the opportunity to be reunited to my colleagues who had a family. Although there is a debt to the parents, I think they understand. With so many families visiting here during the Spring Festival, it is important to ensure their safety. Chen Kangjia talked about his parents, his voice slightly choked, tears rolling in his eyes. His wish is to have a daughter-in-law this year, but his parents' wish is fulfilled.
At the exit of the ropeway station, the reporter met Wen Dongchun, a 52-year-old cleaner of the operation service department, who was cleaning the hygiene of the ropeway exit with a mop. "Every day, in addition to cleaning the hygiene of the upper and lower stations, at about 4:30 p.m., within tens of seconds of slow operation after the ropeway arrives at the station, we will have four or five people cleaning and sanitize the gondola at the fastest speed. Every time I finish cleaning, it feels like I'm fighting a tough battle and I'm sweating. However, when I saw tourists sitting in the gondola and taking pictures of the beautiful scenery of Wulingyuan through clean glass, it felt that no matter how hard it was, it was worth it. ”

When taking the ropeway down the mountain, the reporter's No. 73 gondola made a strange noise, and Hu Xiaoli, deputy general manager of Hunan Wulingyuan Ropeway Co., Ltd., who accompanied him, immediately picked up his mobile phone and called the technical equipment department to feedback the situation. Before the gondola arrived at the station, I saw Yu Chuyi, deputy manager of the technical equipment department, waiting at the station from a distance. After the door of the gondola opened, Yu Chuyi immediately climbed up, and after a quick inspection, said: "It is the resonance of the shock absorber, which does not affect the safe operation." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In the office of Wen Wei, general manager of Hunan Wulingyuan Cableway Co., Ltd., the reporter saw the "Hunan Wulingyuan Cableway Co., Ltd. on Conscientiously Doing a Good Job in the 2023 Spring Festival Duty Plan", which arranged the duty time, duty personnel list, work content, lead person in charge and other information during the Spring Festival.
Wen Wei introduced: "The Spring Festival holiday is approaching, and the company is waiting for it from top to bottom and making sufficient preparations. On January 14, we will also carry out a comprehensive safety inspection of the ropeway. This week, we will make the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival holiday, the company's services will also be upgraded in quality. For example, medium-sized buses and employees' private cars in the scenic area can provide free services for tourists with sudden emergencies at any time.
