Personal photography is not among the staff.

For the news that photographers circulating on the Internet are not allowed to enter the scenic spot, the staff of Xiangshan Scenic Area Management Office of Guilin Xiangbi Mountain Scenic Area responded that tourists can take their own photos in the scenic spot, but those who take their own photos must register with the scenic spot in advance before they can enter the photography; Fixed-point photography projects in scenic spots have been outsourced, and foreign photographers do not have business qualifications. Taking photos in scenic spots will affect the interests of the operators in the park, so it is forbidden. Judging from the response of the above staff, I personally think that this is the overlord clause stipulated by the scenic spot itself and it is illegal.

1. The provisions of the scenic spot belong to the overlord clause and are illegal. The staff of the scenic spot responded that the photos of the scenic spots have been outsourced to others, so the photographer with personal identity taking photos in the scenic spot will inevitably affect the interests of the outsourcing party, and the outsourcing party and the scenic spot also have related interests. The reason why scenic spots are stipulated in this way is that scenic spots and outsourcers have become a community of interests. If the photographer takes photos in the scenic spot, the interests of the outsourcing party will be damaged, which will further affect the interests of the scenic spot. This regulation of scenic spots is unilaterally from the perspective of self, which obviously belongs to the overlord clause and is illegal.

2. Natural landscape is a masterpiece of nature and should belong to public property. The natural landscape of Elephant Trunk Mountain in Guilin is a masterpiece of nature, which belongs to all mankind and of course belongs to public property. The existence of scenic spots is a masterpiece of nature protection, and fees are only the basic expenditure to maintain the daily maintenance of scenic spots. These are normal expenses, which are understandable.

3. How to distinguish the identities of tourists and photographers in scenic spots? According to the regulations of the scenic spot, tourists can take photos at will in the scenic spot, but people who are photographers need to register before they can take photos in the scenic spot. Are there any striking eyes in the scenic spot that can distinguish tourists from photographers? How will this rule be implemented?

In any case, it is unreasonable for Guilin Elephant Trunk Mountain Scenic Area to have such wonderful regulations, which are also suspected of breaking the law and should be resisted by tourists. I also hope that relevant government departments will intervene and give tourists a statement.
