In this age of rapidly changing information, there are things that always seem to break our perceptions and norms in surprising ways. Recently, a piece of news in Gansu Zhagana Scenic Area is jaw-dropping: the national highway is classified as a scenic spot, and a toll gate is set up in a grand manner, and it is charged according to the standard of tourists. On this 48-kilometre road, if you travel for more than three hours, you have to pull out a lot of money. Is this illegal? What kind of legal and moral confusion is behind this?
The enclosure fee incident that sparked heated discussions
The Zagana Scenic Area, a place hidden deep in the mountains of Gansu Province, is known for its stunning natural beauty. Recently, however, the inclusion of national highways in the toll area has sparked widespread discussion and heated discussions. This incident is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of waves, and we have to think deeply about the law and ethics involved.
Overview of the event: Toll gates on national highways
In today's increasingly digital world, nothing seems to escape the public's eyes. The managers of the Zagana Scenic Area decided to include a national highway in their own area of management, and set a number of plausible reasons – to protect the environment and enhance the visitor experience. However, the core of the question is: is there a legal basis for such charging behavior?
The scenic spot will incorporate the national highway into the huge toll system, once the toll is started, it will inevitably affect the passing consumers. What's even more ridiculous is that the scenic spot actually uses the time of passage as the basis for charging, and on this 48-kilometer road, if you can't drive through it in 3 hours, you have to be prepared for an additional fee. This kind of regulation is not only confusing, but also surprising to the logic and rationality behind it.
Question 1: How does the scenic spot have the right to charge for enclosure on the national highway?
When I first heard this, it seemed reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, people couldn't help frowning. According to the relevant national regulations, the national highway is free for the public. No unit or individual has the right to collect tolls without approval. Obviously, the practice of the Zagana Scenic Area is extremely dubious in law.
Some speculate that perhaps all this is inseparable from the support of local governments. Such a situation is not uncommon across the country, and local governments often turn a blind eye to some projects in order to revitalize the economy, and even give policy covert assistance. However, whether local governments provide support within the scope of the law is worth further discussion. The outcome may affect the advancement and development of related matters. Is it possible that as long as there is the "escort" of the local government, these roads that should not be charged can be pocketed?
Question 2: What is the basis for the charging standard for 48 kilometers for more than 3 hours?
If you look at it from another angle, the setting of travel times seems more far-fetched. As we all know, the speed of national highways is affected by a variety of factors, such as traffic conditions, weather conditions, and the driver's experience. Since the passage time of the national highway is not limited, how can the scenic spot use it as the basis for charging? It's confusing. This doubt urgently needs a reasonable explanation from the scenic spot to clarify the truth.
Such a fee standard is undoubtedly depriving consumers of their rights. Imagine if a family travels with children and takes more than 3 hours due to a break, will they have to pay extra for this? This situation is so unbearable that it has crossed the normal boundaries of tolerance, making it inwardly resistant, unable to agree and even more difficult to accept. As a destination rich in history and culture, Zagana should focus on the visitor experience, rather than putting obstacles in the way to increase revenue.
Question 3: If the enclosure fee is legal, can other units follow suit?
More worryingly, if the practice is seen as legal, it will inevitably lead to a nationwide confusion in fees. Scenic spots, enterprises and even individuals around the country may follow suit and arbitrarily charge fees without reasonable authorization, which ultimately harms the interests of the general public.
This phenomenon can greatly undermine public trust in the government and related institutions, and raise doubts about the implementation of national laws. Its impact is too far-reaching to be overlooked. A harmonious and orderly society must be built on the basis of law and morality. If such behavior is allowed to exist, I am afraid that it will only further exacerbate social injustice and contradictions.
Conclusion: Calls for the cessation of law and public opposition
To sum up, whether from a legal or moral point of view, the charging behavior of the Zagana Scenic Area is a mistake that cannot be ignored. This kind of land enclosure fee, which lacks legal basis, will eventually be widely opposed and spurned by the public. In today's society, the justice and fairness of the law are indispensable, and it is hoped that more people can pay attention to and participate in public affairs, resist unreasonable fees, and create a better environment for our common life.
Incidents like this remind us that the law should not be a tool of certain interest groups, but should be an umbrella for all the public. In a growing society, it is all the more important for us to keep a clear head and not let unreasonable charges become the norm. It is the responsibility of every citizen to speak out in the face of injustice. I hope that in the future, more people can stand up and jointly defend our due rights and interests
