What should you pay attention to when traveling on the water?

1. Ferry tickets

Ferry tickets are divided into ordinary tickets and expedited tickets, and are further divided into adult tickets, children's tickets (children between 1.10-1.30 meters tall) and disabled servicemen's preferential tickets.

If a passenger loses his ticket before boarding the ship, he should purchase another ticket; if a passenger loses his ticket after boarding the ship, if sufficient proof can be provided, there is no need to replace the ticket after confirmation; if it cannot be proved, it will be handled in accordance with relevant regulations .

2. Luggage

When taking coastal and Yangtze River passenger ships, passengers holding full-price tickets can carry 30 kilograms of free luggage with them, and passengers holding half-price tickets and children with free tickets can carry 15 kilograms; each piece of luggage The volume shall not exceed 0.2 cubic meters, the length shall not exceed 1.5 meters, and the weight shall not exceed 30 kilograms. When taking other river cruises, the free baggage allowed is 20kg and 10kg respectively.

The following items are not allowed to be carried on board: items restricted by law, items with a foul or foul smell, items that can damage or pollute the ship and hinder other passengers, explosives, and flammable items , spontaneous combustion products. Corrosive materials, toxic materials, anti-personnel materials and radioactive materials.

3. General knowledge

China’s waterway transportation is divided into two categories: coastal shipping and inland waterway shipping.

Most overseas tourists take luxury ferries when traveling on water in China.

Passenger ships sailing along the coast and on rivers and lakes vary in size, and the equipment on board varies greatly. The cabins of large passenger ships are generally divided into five classes: first class (soft sleeper, 1-2 people), second class (soft sleeper, 2-4 people), third class (hard sleeper, 4-8 people), fourth class (8 people) -24 people) and fifth class (hard sleeper), as well as casual seats (including seats). Luxury cruise ships have staterooms (composed of soft sleeper bedrooms, lounges, bathrooms, etc.).

4. Falling into the water

Once you fall into the water, you should calm down. The heat conduction speed of the human body in cold water is much faster than in the air. Try to find a big boat, lifeboat, life raft, and life buoy. Or other floating objects on the water, so that as little parts of your body are exposed to cold water as possible. If you tremble violently and feel severe pain, this is the body's instinctive reaction and there is no danger. You should take quick action, such as fastening your clothes, grabbing floating objects, finding the whistle on the life jacket, turning on the signal light, etc.

5. Float in cold water

Try not to swim unless it is to get close to a nearby boat, a companion in distress, or a floating object that you can rely on or cling to. Unnecessary swimming will "drain" the warm water between the body and clothes, thus increasing the rate of body heat consumption. In addition, meaningless swimming will accelerate the transport of warm blood from the inside of the body to the surface, causing rapid loss of body heat. Loss of body heat can quickly lead to death.

6. Personal safety is essential when swimming in the water

Rafting and water park projects are built on the water, and at the same time, project development is too pursuit of thrills, so there are great safety risks. . How can we enjoy the coolness of the water world while ensuring personal safety? Let’s hear some advice from people in the industry: First of all, you must purchase personal accident insurance; anyone with viral hepatitis, active tuberculosis, pink eye, otitis media, diarrhea, heart disease, mental illness and epilepsy is not suitable to participate in water recreation projects ; Before rafting, please be sure to read the tourist instructions carefully. Please be sure to wear cloth shoes and rubber shoes and tie them tightly before boarding. Do not participate in rafting barefoot or wearing slippers to prevent your shoes from being lost during the rafting process; please do not bring sharp tools with you. to ensure the personal safety of tourists and the safety of the boat; wear life jackets, safety helmets, and preferably long clothes and long trousers to prevent sunburn and scratches from stones on the shore.

I hope you can remember these and make your journey more perfect.
