Oriental cherry festival: should Wuhan University be free for travellers
Nowadays, students in Wuhan University are taking an initiative to
debate about whether Hubei Travelling Industry should cancel the tickets fees
during the oriental cherry festival .The focal point is that WHU should put
their work target on the education or economic development of Wuhan.
Annual oriental cherry festival is a rare and
grand event for most travelers, but maybe a disaster for WHU students. During the
Labor Vacation , thousands of visitors flood into WHU to appreciate the beautiful
scenery , which bring large benefits to the local traveling industry as well as
promote the consumption. But this phenomenon effect seriously on the students
normal lives. They have to bear all day long noise floating from the outside
classroom. Sometimes these noises even bother their rest at night. Meanwhile, these
distractions make them hard to concentrate on their study, let alone make
progress. What makes things worse is that many students complained that when
they came to the canteen to have meal, they found all the dishes had been eaten
out by the tourists. So that they had to find other restaurants outside
university.
In a
nutshell, once the tickets fees be canceled, the situation will become even
worse and out of control. So the students object strongly to this plan. In my
view, although this plan will speed up the tourism and many other industries’
development, education is still the basic mission of WHU. So they should on the
contrary take measures to prevent this phenomenon, such as limit the flow of
tourists rather than influence students studying further.
As far as I am concerned, the visiting time should only be set on weekends so that the students can have a nomal study life,with which the university should guarantee the students
ReplyDeleteYeah,maybe that's a good idea.But the actual state is that there are so many people coming to see oriental cherry ,if they are keep out of the gate,it may cause traffic congestion,even conflicts in the end.And that's the situation we all unwilling to face.
Deletethe ticket can be free, but they shouldn't be allowed to eat in the canteen of WHU.......food is the most foundational thing...haha
ReplyDeleteyeah,especially when you have experienced a hard time last sunday!
DeleteThe authorities in Wuahn University have to evaluate its objectives/goals. In this instance, does tourism help to promote the development of the students' studies or character? Universities are educational institutions, not places of interest. If the authorities were to focus on the objectives/goals of the university, then the problem can be solved easily.
ReplyDeleteYou know,this situation is quite complex especially when connected with the benefits of many sides,let alone in China!Although not willing to admit ,corruption has become a common practice among bureaucrats.And no one would punish them,because the dignitaries who take charge of this case also accept bribes!So it's quite hard to abandon this campain for authorities .Hope pressure of public opinion will give them the influence!
DeleteNo doubt that i agree the focus of universities is education. However, charging is not the fundamental way, while fundamental method - improve people's quality - is quite difficult to achieve. But, anyway, may the visitors behave themselves.
