Chapter 1381
On the 25th of May, the tour company of the Future Technology Group building is very busy right now.
Because it's almost time for the annual June 1 Children's Day again, the second phase of the scenic area is going to open on this.
The Second World has now been confirmed to open and operate on June 1st, and the second phase of the scenic area is being built on a much larger scale compared to the first phase.
The original car park of the Second World Scenic Area is so vast that it can park 200,000 cars, the parking station area can reach 7 million square meters, and the construction cost is over 15 billion yuan.
After the expansion, the total area of the car park reaches 25 million square metres, with a total construction cost of 55 billion yuan, and can park 785,000 cars of all types.
What is the concept of 25 million square metres of floor space? If it were laid out flat, it would amount to more than 40,000 mu.
But put into all the three-storey parking buildings, the parking buildings will cover an area of more than 14,000 mu, and together with the green areas, the car parks will cover an area of 20,000 mu.
Over 20,000 mu is roughly 3 km in length and width of flat land. The scale of the car park alone is so magnificent that it is really shocking.
Luckily, everything is smart parking, otherwise drivers would be annoyed to find a parking place.
After getting off the train, visitors can take the tram to the Second World gates.
The Second World's gates and welcome hall have not been expanded, and the original floor space is sufficient.
As an important part of the Second World, the Food City has been expanded twice from its original base. The first phase of the Food City was roughly 500 x 2,500 metres long and wide (equivalent to 1,876 acres), with a total of 1,000 restaurants built, divided into 50 rows (i.e. each row had about 20 restaurants or so and was about 500 metres long).
The expanded Food City will be approximately 1500 x 2500 metres long and wide, with a total of 3,000 restaurants, over 10,000 different types of food, basically all the cuisines of the world, and a staff of 16,000 chefs.
If even Second World cuisine doesn't satisfy you, then you can only say you are anorexic.
The wide variety of food information available on LL's website is dazzling to look at, and the choice of food alone is a tangle that certainly attracts diners from all over the world.
If there is one building complex that is bigger, it is the five-million-person hotel complex, with no less than a thousand buildings, all of them 40 storeys or so, rising up in an orderly fashion from the vast plains.
At every intersection of the hotel area, there are map signs so that visitors can quickly find their current location without even looking at the service map or GPS.
The accommodation and services of millions of people require the support of tens of thousands of people. Millions of people, equivalent to the resident population of a first-tier city.
The support facilities for millions of people, such as hospitals, fire and disaster relief centres, power and water supply houses, waste disposal facilities, etc., are also large and complete. Second World, it would be right to say that it is a tourist destination, and it would not be too much to say that it is a cosmopolitan city.
The main attractions of the second phase are hot springs, rafting (with hot springs in winter), waterfalls, the international F1 racing circuit, horse racing, etc.
The ancient city, the Holy Flower City, the Nine Dragons Holy Pagoda, the high-speed railway, the Love Village International Airport and the moving train set are all under construction, even if the Holy Flower City, which is the most advanced in terms of construction, is currently topped out and in the process of renovation.
With five days to go before the June 1st Children's Day, LL Travel has already started to enter a busy process, with all departments fully engaged in preparing for the opening of the second phase of Second World.
The Second World campaign is being rolled out to media outlets around the world, costing hundreds of millions of dollars in publicity alone.
Travel agencies around the world are swarming with tourists who have signed up for access to Second World and are eager to visit it.
A few days later, on June 1st, the second phase of Second World opened its doors to visitors.
On the first day alone, the number of visitors to the Second World reached 6 million, the maximum number of visitors that could be received.
Of these 6 million people, one fifth came from all over the world.
During this time, all international airports in the country were jammed with foreign tourists, who then moved to Xiangzhong City and finally transferred to the Second World.
In the past few years, Xiangzhong City's economy has developed rapidly and the city's population has skyrocketed, as can be seen from real estate alone, with property prices rising from an average price of 10,000 in previous years to an average price of over 20,000 at present.
On June 1st, the number of visitors to the Second World reached 6,012,000, with tourism companies generating revenues of 8,340 million yuan and estimated profits of 1,732 million yuan.
On June 2, the number of visitors to the Second World reached 6,123,000, with the tourism company's operating income of 8,570 million yuan.
On June 3, the number of visitors to the Second World reached 6,185,000 and the operating income of the tourism company reached 8,610 million yuan.
On June 4, the number of visitors to the Second World reached 5,781,000, dropping back somewhat, with tourism companies generating revenues of 7.99 billion yuan.
Over the next few days, until June 6, the number of visitors to the scenic area remained stable at around 5 million, with a daily operating income of 7.5 billion yuan.
Millions of visitors, most of whom were long-term residents of the Second World.
The actual daily influx of new visitors is estimated to be just a few hundred thousand.
Millions of visitors and attractions around the world have become cold, and business can be down in the dumps.
In particular, the hot spring area and the waterfall attraction area, which have just opened, are extremely popular with visitors compared to the Great Snowy Mountains The second phase of the Second World attraction is in the northeast area of the Second Heart Circle, i.e. immediately north of the Great Snowy Mountains.
As you get closer to Big Snow Mountain, you can faintly hear what sounds like constant thunder, and a few kilometres closer, the sound gets louder and louder, and the thunder is accompanied by the sound of rushing water, which can be seen as a white mist from miles away.
Needless to think, it was the waterfall of the second world.
There are dozens of waterfalls, each with a different type of waterfall, on several of the heavenly mountains.
One of the most thrilling waterfalls is the "Heavenly Mountain" waterfall, the number one waterfall near the Great Snow Mountain, called the "Heavenly Water" waterfall, which is fed by several heavenly pool lakes on a lofty mountain range more than 5,000 metres above sea level.
The lakes cover a total area of dozens of square kilometres, with a depth of over 20 metres, and because of the geothermal effect, it is not possible to freeze the water in the lakes.
The water of Lake Tianchi comes from the thunderstorms in the air and from a constant flow of groundwater from the mountains.
From a cliff more than 5,000 metres above sea level, the water of the sky surrounds it on three sides, dropping vertically in a row of mountains, with a drop of a thousand metres and a total width of several kilometres on three sides.
Chapter 1382
The "Tien Shan" waterfall is the largest, most dangerous, wildest and most terrifying swirling rapid in the world, with the water falling to form a larger and deeper lake.
The famous Anghel Falls, with a drop of 979 metres, was previously the world's largest waterfall.
But with no land access and surrounded by dense forest, it is extremely difficult to get close to the falls and the only way to see its mysterious beauty is by helicopter.
"With a vertical drop of 1,266 metres, the waterfall is so majestic and spectacular that it truly lives up to the famous poem "The water falls 3,000 feet straight down, and the Milky Way falls into the sky".
Unlike the Anghel Falls, visitors can easily get close to the "Tianshui" waterfall to see it, but because the water is so violent, the rocks and water droplets splash around, and it is too dangerous to get close, visitors can get up to 500 metres to see it.
As the mist rolls in, one's clothes are soaked through in a few moments, making for an unbearable and exhilarating experience.
The mist rises for nearly a thousand metres, and when illuminated by the warm sun, it reflects a spectacular colourful rainbow, which is also one of the wonders of the "Tianshui" waterfall.
The kilometre-wide "Tianshui" waterfall is made up of countless "silver dragons", side by side, with rainbow colours, like a "divine dragon coming out of the sea", mysterious and mysterious. As you look into the distance, the magnificent and surging momentum, the abundance and vastness of the water vapour, the mist rising up to thousands of metres, like a dragon turning over, are a sight to behold.
The second world waterfall is arguably the world's largest, most thrilling, with the largest vertical drop, the most magnificent, the most violent and the clearest water.
The climate of the Tianshan Mountains often gathers rain and groundwater gushes out continuously, and the waterfalls flow back down into the underground river, creating a cycle that makes the waterfalls in the Second World continuous.
The water flow is considerable and the falls can be viewed all year round. The waterfall is surrounded by lush, virgin forest, with birds flying in and out, and the blue water of the lake adding to the waterfall's beauty, making it a fantastic sight to behold.
The water of the lake, in particular, varies in colour and depth, from sky blue to green, fading from grey to blue, and is so clear that the colourful pebbles at the bottom of the lake are visible at a depth of over ten metres, with the sun's rays shining down and refracting even more brilliant colours, and the surface of the lake glowing with bright starbursts.
The lake flows down the mountain, forming a variety of floating riverbed areas. From the lake, which is over 4,000 metres above sea level, the water flows down a meandering riverbed, sometimes fast and sometimes gentle, surrounded by green hills on both sides of the mountain.
There are a few of the most thrilling riverbeds in the Second World, but the rocks are treated and rounded without sharp corners, so visitors don't have to worry too much about their safety when wearing life jackets and safety protection.
Of course, the tour company still arranges lifeguards at the thrilling spots, and there is also intensive real-time video surveillance to ensure that visitors' lives are not in danger.
However, rafting is, after all, a thrill category and is not suitable for the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant and other special groups of tourists to avoid safety accidents. While the rafting category is most popular with thrill-seekers, the hot springs at Second World are a favourite with the beautiful people.
The hot springs at Second World, with temperatures ranging from 45 degrees Celsius to around 80 degrees Celsius at the mouth of the spring, are rich in minerals, especially those that are beneficial to human health.
There are nearly 1,000 hot springs in the Second World, scattered across several Tian Shan mountains, with hot springs at the top, the sides and the base of the mountains.
What is the concept of nearly a thousand hot springs?
Only 3,000 hot springs have been discovered in China, and not many have been developed for tourism.
Contrast this with the horrific number of hot springs in the Second World.
There are dozens of different types of hot springs in the Second World, distinguished by minerals, such as chloride springs, carbonated sulphur springs, low-temperature neutral bicarbonate springs, etc.
While the number of hot springs is high, visitors struggle with the choice.
Visitors can filter through several important options such as price point, healing properties, type of landscape, water temperature and number of people.
The hot springs of the Second World have also developed a new "yuji culture", where "yuji" means "to soak in hot springs".
The land around a hot spring is covered with flowers, and a hot spring with a flowering begonia is called a "begonia bath".
There are all kinds of hot springs named after flowers, and soaking in hot springs is also an island culture, and the islanders are envious of the hot springs in the Second World.
As a result, the hot spring areas in the Second World are particularly popular with islanders.
The opening of the hot springs has also given rise to many industries.
For example, there is a wide range of services for women: bath rubs, full body beauty massages, meridian massages, plucking hair, manicures, mugwort applications and other beauty treatments.
The price varies according to the grade of the spa, and the price varies according to the effectiveness of the medicine.
The cheapest may be as little as $20 per person, while the most expensive baths can cost thousands of dollars and have better medicinal effects. Soaking in the herb-infused hot springs will leave you with a medicinal scent that will leave your whole body fluffy and comfortable.
There is an unwritten rule at Second World that "to keep the hot spring area clean, personal hygiene must be ensured before entering the hot spring", which means that before entering the hot spring, individuals must wash their personal impurities and bathe their bodies once in the bath before stepping into the hot spring.
This is the most unusual rule with other tourist attractions, and this one is particularly popular with visitors, after all, no one wants to soak in a hot spring and drink other people's dirt.
Of course, if you have the money and don't mind the crowds, there is also a family package hot spring area where you can enjoy the hot spring all to yourself.
Therefore, soaking in the Second World Hot Springs and taking a big piss can result in heavy fines and even expulsion from the scenic area.
If you think that way, it is difficult to detect urine soaking and to detect it. It would be a mistake to think that way.
Urine contains certain substances, and a sudden spike in a certain urea substance in a certain area of the water can be detected very quickly by high-end instruments buried in the surface of the hot springs.
Such instruments oblige visitors to adhere strictly to the rules of the scenic area.
There are net secluded people, on the other hand, who remind visitors not to go into the water immediately after they have had enough to drink and eat.
The Second World is a place where women from all over the world come to have a gourmet meal, take a beauty bath to relieve the fatigue of a long day's travel, and in the evening, visit the shopping paradise of "Prosperity World".
Second World's spas have also become an international destination for rehabilitation and therapy. Several Second World sites have now been added to the World Heritage List.
The opening of the second phase of Second World has seen an influx of visitors. Countless netizens are running around on Weibo, in forums and postings, proclaiming ...... to friends and family who do not follow the tourism company or the tourism.
