During the National Day holiday, a large number of people took advantage of the vacation to travel. Recently, a netizen posted that the toilets and restaurants at the top of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province were crowded with overnight tourists, sparking discussions.
Several netizens posted that during the National Day holiday, the volume of visitors to Huangshan Scenic Area was very high. Due to many hotels being fully booked, many tourists chose to squeeze in toilets, restaurants, corridors, and other places to rest. “It’s very cold outside, shaking, the wind is strong, can only squeeze indoors to rest, and the toilets quickly become crowded.”
According to Upstream News, staff at Huangshan Scenic Area stated on the 3rd that it’s not recommended for visitors to stay overnight in the toilets and it would be best to book a room before traveling.
The report mentioned that last year during the May Day holiday, a netizen posted a video titled “A large number of tourists are crowded in the toilets at Huangshan overnight,” which drew attention. The video showed many people sitting or lying down in the toilets overnight, some covered with blankets, while others were sitting on the floor in their clothes.
The news of tourists staying overnight in the toilets has sparked discussions.
One netizen said: “It’s too cold outside, I remember one time when I went during the National Day, and the restaurant was filled with people, there was not enough space.” “The scenic area just wants to make more money, clearly they do not have the capacity to host so many people, at a certain number, they should not let more in.” “Although Huangshan’s scenery is good, staying overnight in the toilets is really helpless. The scenic area should come up with solutions and not let guests stay overnight in the toilets.”
