Recently, news such as "Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area will be unsealed on April 25" and "Siguniang Mountain is expected to go to Dafeng during the 'May Day' holiday" has been circulating on social media.
In order to do a good job in forest and grassland fire prevention, forest protection and conservation, and safe production, from February 25, Siguniangshan National Nature Reserve will stop carrying out all outdoor activities (including mountaineering, camping, ice climbing, rock climbing, trekking and other outdoor projects), and the specific resumption of opening hours will be notified according to the actual situation.
As a well-known destination for outdoor sports in Sichuan and even the whole country, Siguniang Mountain is very attractive to outdoor sports enthusiasts, and we have verified whether the news of the lifting of the lockdown on social media has a basis.
According to information posted by a number of users claiming to be mountain guides on social media, there are currently two versions of the online news about the unblocking of outdoor sports in the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area:
One of them was the lifting of the lockdown around April 25. Some netizens speculated that Siguniang Mountain would be unsealed before the race through the information that the 2024 Fifth Siguniang Mountain Cloud Flower Trail Trail Trail Trail Race hosted by the Outdoor Activity Management Center of Siguniang Mountain Administration Bureau will be held on April 27.
Another version is that the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area will open outdoor activities during the "May Day" holiday. In addition, the above-mentioned mountain guides have begun to recruit team members, and some guides claim that "the price of mountaineering services has increased", prompting mountaineering enthusiasts to make reservations in advance.
We called the Outdoor Activity Management Center of the Siguniang Mountain Administration to inquire if the center had a clear schedule for lifting the lockdown for outdoor sports. "At present, we have noticed the rumors circulating on the Internet, we are still researching, and there is no clear unblocking time, and we also remind the majority of netizens to obtain information about the opening hours through official channels. The staff said that mountaineers are welcome to inquire about information at any time through the official phone.
Yang Weitai, director of the Outdoor Activities Management Center of the Siguniang Mountain Administration, also responded to the above news. "The trail running event mentioned by some netizens is actually not in conflict with the previous policy. Yang Weitai explained that the cross-country running event of the Siguniang Mountain Cloud Flower Trail is a small activity in Haizigou in the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area, which is consistent with the range that ordinary tourists can reach, and will not go deep into the base camp of Siguniang Mountain and even the protected areas of Siguniang Mountain and Erfeng.
At present, ordinary tourists in the regular scenic spots of Siguniang Mountain, Haizigou and Shuangqiaogou, as well as Changpinggou light trekking, are not affected.
According to Yang Weitai, Siguniang Mountain has preliminarily completed the previous stage of mountain closure and afforestation, garbage cleanup and other work. "Now it is mainly due to the fact that the overall organization of the outdoor sports market such as mountaineering is not standardized, and the specific management measures have not yet been introduced. ”
On March 31, the WeChat public account of Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area released a message on the supervision and inspection of forest and grassland fire prevention and outdoor activities management.
The news pointed out that Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area will make full use of the favorable opportunity of suspending outdoor activities at present, increase the investigation and maintenance and reinforcement of hidden dangers in the ditch infrastructure equipment, environmental protection toilets, horse paths, Daerfeng camp protection stations and dangerous areas along the mountaineering and hiking, actively learn from the advanced experience of outdoor activity management at home and abroad, and strengthen the education and training of outdoor practitioners in terms of professional standards, ecological environmental protection and emergency rescue.
