in the daocheng yading scenic area in ganzi, sichuan, a policy on environmental protection has sparked heated discussion. on september 20, some netizens reported that the daocheng yading scenic area prohibits tourists from bringing their own instant noodles, but sells hot dry noodles soaked in water for 22 yuan per bowl and does not properly handle the noodle soup. in response, the daocheng yading scenic area management bureau of ganzi prefecture responded on september 21 that the video reflected the sales of hot dry noodles and the sanitation workers not handling the noodle soup according to regulations. the person in charge of the operating company has been interviewed and ordered to suspend business for rectification. for tourists who bring their own instant noodles, the scenic area will provide free boiling water and venues, and uniformly collect and standardize garbage disposal. (the paper, september 21)
as a simple and convenient fast food, instant noodles have become a must-have for many backpackers. however, daocheng yading scenic area prohibits tourists from eating instant noodles brought by themselves, but sells high-priced hot dry noodles. such contradictory behavior is like a magic trick that dazzles the public. in this regard, the staff of daocheng yading scenic area responded in an interview with reporters that daocheng yading is not only a 5a-level scenic spot, but also a national nature reserve. the soup of instant noodles will pollute the environment, while foods without soup such as self-heating rice and hot dry noodles can be eaten in the scenic area. it can be seen that this instant noodle dispute is not just a matter of a bowl of instant noodles, but also touches on multiple levels such as environmental protection, scenic area services and tourist responsibilities.
there is a cause for every effect, and everything has its cause. it seems unreasonable that the scenic spot prohibits tourists from eating instant noodles, but in fact it reflects the long-standing uncivilized behavior. in reality, some tourists have weak environmental awareness and public morality, and have cognitive misunderstandings; uncivilized tourist behaviors such as littering are even more of a tourism disease. some even believe that it is not a bad thing for fruit peels, fruit cores, and instant noodle residues to be eaten by wild animals or enter the soil, but rather to save wild animals and fertilize the soil. in fact, this move not only pollutes the environment, but also makes the beautiful scenery of the scenic spot lose its color.
of course, not only tourists should travel in a civilized manner, but scenic spots should also strengthen management and invest necessary manpower and material resources to prevent tourists from littering in scenic spots. at the same time, scenic spot management should also set an example and strengthen employees' environmental awareness, and not let such double-standard behavior chill the hearts of tourists.
in addition, it is better to guide than to block. although it is reasonable for scenic spots to prohibit tourists from eating instant noodles, it should not be forced, and there should be a balance between relaxation and tension. in addition to environmental protection, there is another big question worth thinking about in this instant noodle incident: has the scenic spot provided cheap and fast catering services for a long time? in fact, tourists eating instant noodles brought by themselves is also a resistance to the high catering prices in scenic spots. therefore, scenic spot management should take more humane measures, and it is necessary to provide relatively cheap and fast alternative products to meet the needs of some tourists. in short, to truly solve the problem of environmental protection and convenience, it requires the joint efforts of both tourists and scenic spot management.
