According to the Qianjiang Evening News, "Zhejiang G owner Wang Moumou, didn't your heart hurt when you carved at the site of the oil base in Langhu Town, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province?" ”
"The tourism season is coming, I hope that tourists like 'Wang Moumou' will no longer appear, and the situation of graffiti on Internet celebrities in various places will not happen again."
Recently, Chao News reporters received a video from enthusiastic readers: On the afternoon of June 7, on the yellow sand wall of the oil base site in Leng Hu Town, Moya City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, a line of inscriptions was shocking: "XXX to visit here" "Zhang X, Lijiang Zhou X, Yu X, stay in 2021". There was also a message from Jinhua owner Wang Moumou, who even left a license plate number on the wall.
Heartache! The ruins of the oil base turned into graffiti areas
The ground call for self-driving tourists to travel in a civilized manner
Who shot this video? The Chao News reporter immediately contacted the photographer Liu Qing. He is from Chengdu and is the leader who specializes in undertaking customized tours of self-driving routes on the Sichuan-Tibet Line and Qinghai Line. In 2021, he was the leader of the "Cultural Tourism Building Dreams" westward journey activity jointly organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and Zhejiang News Group. On June 7 this year, when he took tourists from the Northwest Ring Road to a certain place at the site of the oil base in Cold Lake Town, he found that the original gray-yellow base site wall was full of graffiti, and some messages were written as a whole wall, judging from the date of the message, the time ranged from 2020~2022.
"So infuriating! The original good check-in point has become a graffiti wall, leaving the license plate number here Jinhua owner Wang Moumou, who will pay for the destruction of the beautiful scenery? Liu Qing told Chao News that she had driven to the same check-in place in the oil base in 2020, when some walls showed signs of collapse, but the walls were clean. These uncivilized tourists who take the initiative to leave their names in the attractions, I want to expose you through video, won't your conscience hurt? ”

After Liu Qing released the video, it attracted many melon-eating people to leave messages, "graffiti has no quality, destroy the beautiful scenery at will" "These people are really hateful, after graffiti and leave, let nature back the pot..." is a popular comment below the video.
Zhejiang and Haixi Prefecture have more than ten years of cooperative friendship. Since May 2016, all tourist attractions in Haixi Prefecture have been free of charge for Zhejiang tourists. Liu Qing told reporters that the video was released in the hope that tourists like "Wang Moumou" would not appear again. "To some extent, his actions also 'smeared' Zhejiang tourists who went to Qinghai for road trips."
The reporter inquired that June ~ September is the best tourism season in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and the ruins of the oil base are also one of the favorite Internet celebrity check-in points for tourists from all over the world. According to the AutoNavi platform, the oil base site is currently ranked fifth on the "Hot Attractions List" in Mangya City. 3,000 people recently navigated the route to the site of a past oil base. Searching for "Cold Lake Oil Base Site" on platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu, the reporter found nearly 100 related travel strategy videos, graphic posts. The number of likes has reached more than 10,000 times.
Local authorities responded:
There are dozens of graffiti walls
Is the situation reported by Liu Qing true? On the afternoon of June 8, a reporter from Chao News relayed the video content taken by Liu Qing to the Propaganda Department of the Vast Cliff Municipal Party Committee. After verification, the staff told reporters that there were indeed signs of graffiti at the site of the Cold Lake Oil Base.
"The site of the Cold Lake Oil Base is located in the westernmost desert Gobi hinterland of Haixi Mongol Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province, which once created the glorious history of Qinghai Oilfield and is the epitome of Qinghai Oilman's self-reliance in no man's land." The staff of the propaganda department of PetroChina Qinghai Oilfield Branch told reporters that the oil base was established in the fifties and sixties of the last century, and in the later period, due to the adjustment of the oilfield development strategy, a large number of oilfield institutions and personnel were relocated, and the town fell silent. Today, the site of the base is the cultural coordinates that the older generation of Qinghai oil people will check in when they "seek their dreams". "It is not a scenic spot open to the outside world, and is currently only used as an internal education base for the oil field."
The original "spiritual sustenance" was scribbled and painted, and the relevant staff were quite helpless.
"The site of the oil base suddenly caught fire in the past two years. During the verification process, we found that the graffiti had been in place for some time, and there were dozens of graffiti on the walls. The staff member told reporters that with the explosion of Qinghai tourism since 2020, many niche check-in points in Haixi Prefecture have also become popular, including the ruins of oil bases. From the perspective of the text content of the graffiti, 2020~2021 is the most. "Next, we plan to set up civilized tourism reminder signs around the site, warning signs prohibiting uncivilized behavior, etc. At the same time, daily inspections will be strengthened to prevent sabotage by some tourists. ”
Dozens of walls that have been graffitied,
How can management remedy this?
"The original material of the graffiti wall is brick-and-adobe texture, and we plan to 'repair the old as before', painting and filling in the relevant parts of the graffiti." The staff member also added that part of the graffiti content was positive content, "tribute to oil workers" and so on. "We want people to come to understand this history and feel the lost memories, but we also want people to protect it and be civilized tourists." We can set up a special graffiti wall to leave everyone's impression of the cold lake and nostalgia for history. ”
Did other tourists who went to the oil base site notice the incivility?
Weibo Internet celebrity photographer @ Mo Morui, who checked in the ruins of the oil base in June 2021. "The town was full of garbage bags and it was sad to watch."
In response to the various uncivilized phenomena reported by tourists, PetroChina Qinghai Oilfield Branch said that it will consider closed management of oil base sites in the future to strengthen protection. "Due to the location in no man's land and the lack of social support and living conditions around, it is difficult for us to implement 24-hour dedicated management, and we also need tourists to consciously abide by social ethics, jointly create a civilized environment, and cooperate with the oilfield to do a good job in site protection."

Spot uncivilized behavior around you
How to give feedback is appropriate
During the interview, Liu Qing added that when he saw the uncivilized phenomenon, he wanted to seek feedback from the local department but could not find relevant channels. In the face of the uncivilized phenomena around us, how should we deal with it correctly?
Zhang Yiqun, deputy director, partner and lawyer at Zhejiang Zheyuan Law Firm, reminded enthusiasts that the Internet should not only promote freedom, but also observe order. Social software and other online platforms provide the public with the opportunity to speak and protect citizens' right to freedom of expression, but while enjoying freedom of speech, the public should also pay attention to being cautious in their words and deeds, and adhere to the bottom line of law and morality. The purpose of supervision, on the one hand, is to let the public form a social consensus and take it as a warning; On the other hand, it is for the management to form a system to limit uncivilized and illegal behavior.
How to respond to the uncivilized behavior around you? Zhang Yiqun reminded to pay attention to three points: First, see whether the exposure information posted on social platforms involves minors' information, and the relevant information must be blocked; Second, video clips, photos, etc. that cannot show the full picture of the incident should be prohibited to avoid distorting the facts, taking words out of context, and causing adverse impacts; Third, while strengthening the review, the exposure of uncivilized and illegal behaviors in the fields of public security, transportation and travel that are of social concern and the state focus on governance can be promoted to promote problem solving.
"Doing something wrong should be punished, but public opinion criticism should have boundaries, and if the party who commits uncivilized behavior insults, slander, malicious slander, and exceeds the boundary, the relevant person may infringe on his right to reputation, and if it causes serious consequences, it may even constitute the crime of insult or slander, and bear criminal legal responsibility." Lawyer Zhang reminded.
The peak of summer tourism is coming
Civilized travel should not be absent
With the outbreak of retaliatory tourism in various places during the summer, various uncivilized behaviors have also occurred frequently. Similar to the site of the Cold Lake Oil Base, the uncivilized chaos in the Internet celebrity check-in point is repeatedly prohibited——
On April 25 last year, in Leishan Village, Xiwu Street, Fenghua District, Ningbo, because there were too many people who came to the village to camp and litter, the village collective had no choice but to issue a notice: "The roads around the Liao Reservoir in the village are forbidden to vehicles, and camping enthusiasts with tent equipment and fishing gear are not welcome." Jiang Xiaoliang, vice president and secretary general of the Zhejiang Tourism Association Self-driving Tour and RV Camping Branch, also called on social platforms that tourists should have the awareness of "camping without traces" when they go camping.
On August 9 last year, a mine pit on the outskirts of Hangzhou became popular as a "wild campsite", and was described on social platforms as Hangzhou's small "ink stone park". When the reporter visited the mine, he found that there was garbage littering and plastic bags all over the place. Mr. Sun, the person in charge of the mine's protection, told Chao News that in the past two years, as long as people come by car during inspections, they will be persuaded to return. The pond in the pit looks very shallow, but it is actually more than ten meters deep in the middle, and there are no safety facilities around at all, so if there is an accident such as falling into the water or falling rocks, it is impossible to rescue in time.
Uncivilized behavior is frequent, how to maintain the "appearance" of the Internet celebrity check-in point? This not only tests the service level of tourism practitioners, the coping ability of city managers, but also tests the civilized quality of tourists.
Many management departments inside and outside the province have "updated" the management methods for uncivilized behavior. In 2020, Zhejiang Taizhou passed the Regulations on the Promotion of Civilized Behavior in Taizhou City (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), which makes general and coherent provisions on civilized tourism and other aspects. In the same year, Sichuan Chongqing promulgated the Chongqing Regulations on the Promotion of Civilized Behavior (Draft) (hereinafter referred to as the "Draft"), which listed 47 kinds of uncivilized behaviors in 12 aspects, including public order, public health, community civilization, and family civilization, including loud noise, seat grabbing, using electronic devices without controlling the volume, and running red lights. Administrative measures such as participation in public welfare services have also been designed, and perpetrators can recover the social harm and social impact caused by uncivilized behavior by participating in public welfare services for 4 to 8 hours.
Chao News reporters also learned that this year, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Zhejiang Province will launch a series of publicity activities in 2023 "Civilized Tourism I Speak for the All-People Asian Games". It is expected that through similar activities, every tourist and tourism practitioner in Zhejiang can develop a correct "civilization view" and fundamentally reduce the occurrence of uncivilized tourism behavior.
