1. Pay attention to travel safety. Learn about weather and road traffic conditions, the opening of tourist attractions and ticket reservation measures in advance, and plan your travel routes and time reasonably. When traveling by motor vehicle, fasten your seat belt throughout the journey. Do not go to areas that have not been officially developed and opened and lack safety guarantees.

In mountainous areas, river valleys, and areas near water or cliffs, be on guard against safety risks such as landslides, falling rocks, mudslides, and flash floods. Pay attention to weather changes and the latest forecast and warning information during your trip. Be cautious when participating in water activities such as boating and rafting, and do not play in waters without safety guarantees.

3. Participate in high-risk tourism projects with caution. According to your age, health and other conditions, carefully choose high-risk tourism projects such as high altitude, high speed, water, diving, and adventure. Carry out activities under the guidance of professionals and do not do anything that may endanger yourself and others.

4. Pay attention to fire safety. When traveling, strictly abide by the fire safety management regulations, and do not smoke, barbecue or use open flames in places where flammable materials gather or where there are fire prevention warnings. When staying in a hotel, promptly understand the fire evacuation routes and do not smoke while lying on the sofa or bed.

5. Pay attention to your own health. Pay attention to personal hygiene, be the first person responsible for your own health, and wear a mask scientifically in accordance with the "Guidelines for the Public to Wear Masks to Prevent New Coronavirus Infection (April 2023 Edition)".
