At 8:00 AM on Saturday, August 17th, as extreme weather conditions such as typhoons and heavy rainfall gradually improved, the JingpohuLake Scenic Area conducted a scientific assessment of the disaster prevention impact and reopened its gates after a two-day emergency closure. The park has now resumed normal operations and returned to its daily routine of welcoming visitors.
Prior to reopening, leaders of the JingpohuLake Management Committee, including Jin Guojun, Ma Xiaoqun, and Zhang Haijun, conducted inspections at various locations such as the main entrance, Diaoshuilou Waterfall, the garden administration office, the air-supported dome facility, and the boat dock. At the main entrance, organized tour groups and individual visitors waited in an orderly manner under the guidance of entrance management staff. At the ticket counters, staff were busy handling transactions while visitors queued up systematically. At the waterfall area, Diaoshuilou Waterfall had visibly widened, with the full enforcement team on duty patrolling and maintaining shifts. Visitors took photos along the railed walkways while waiting for the diving performance to begin. At the garden administration's air-supported dome facility, the leaders carefully inspected the beach water levels, estimated the reservoir's water level and capacity, and repeatedly instructed on-site staff to monitor conditions closely and report in real time. At the resort's boat dock, the first group of visitors had already safely boarded the JingpohuLake cruise and departed from the shore.
In August, during the peak tourist season, all staff at JingpohuLake, under the leadership of the JingpohuLake Management Committee, gave up the opportunity to reunite with their families and remained on the front lines of the lake area. Especially,Upon receiving the "Emergency Notice of Scenic Area Closure" issued by the provincial and municipal authorities on August 15, they quickly formulated the "Safety Flood Control Implementation Plan" and the "Emergency Rescue Plan." All staff stayed at their posts, with committee members leading shifts, conducting regular inspections, monitoring rainfall and flood conditions, promptly reporting any issues, and activating emergency plans when necessary. This ensured that the scenic area's infrastructure, environmental hygiene, and safety conditions remained normal despite the closure.
After scientifically assessing the reduced flood control pressure and the gradual improvement of extreme weather conditions such as typhoons and heavy rain, in accordance with regulations,the emergency closure was lifted at 8:00 a.m. on August 17, and daily operations resumed with normal tourism environments and order. After officially reopening, JingpohuLake, which had been quiet for two days, is bound to welcome another peak in tourism.
