Chinese couple risks their lives just to avoid standing in line (5 photos)

Every tourist place in China has queues. You have to put up with it, especially in recent years. But the Chinese themselves are not going to put up with it. Recently, the country has faced the problem of how queues are ruining people.





As you can see, they wanted to jump over the hole to get in line

Head down the slope

In Shandong Province, there is a popular tourist spot on the slope of Mount Tai, and for tourists there is a staircase that is more crowded on weekends, especially during the "golden week", than the same center of Tokyo during rush hour. So, Taishan was visited by 285,000 tourists in four days of May! At the moment, this is a record for all the years that records have been kept. But this is a common thing in China. The couple tried to climb over the artificial wall to join the queue in front of them (they are sidewalkers, in short). But the man slipped while trying to help the woman cross and put her on his shoulders.

And then the man got stuck on the stone platform, holding the woman's legs tightly. And the woman's head hit the rocks and bushes during the fall, but thanks to her partner, the woman did not fall off the slope completely.

There is such a tradition - to stand in lines





And this, by the way, is Tsarskoye Selo, where the Chinese caused a traffic jam and collapse. They take everything with them even on a trip!

The dangerous somersault was filmed and posted on social networks, which exacerbated a long-standing problem: overcrowding of tourist places and the danger of lines. Last year, several women fainted from dehydration while standing in line at the historical caves. But most Chinese choose not to go to the hospital and refuse the visit when they realize that they can no longer stand and stand. So the problem of "went for the weekend to stand in line, then went home to sleep" is not the rarest in China.



You have to want it so much... to the mountain.

I already wrote that many places in China suddenly become viral. On some day, 20 times more tourists rush there than the calculated places and capacity. As soon as some video goes viral, the Chinese, who love to travel within the country, rush there. This happened with almost all historical places when the popular game about the Monkey King came out. The team that handles the pass to Mount Taishan has promised to increase the number of employees. How will this solve the problem of queues if everyone can't go to the mountain at once? No way.

In general, each place has a maximum capacity. And the most that the administration can do is provide chairs and water so that people in the queue can comfortably spend four hours of their lives in nowhere. And what should China do in this situation?
