【HaiChuan Travel Discussion】Is it worth soaking one’s feet by West Lake on a hot summer day?
Thread Content
As the temperatures rise, the West Lake area in Hangzhou continues to see a large number of tourists from all over the country. At the White Causeway, many tourists took off their shoes and socks, dipped their feet into the waters of West Lake to wash or soak their feet, or play in the water, enjoying a moment of coolness. Every summer, there are scenes of tourists washing and soaking their feet in West Lake, as well as playing in the water, which has sparked debate among netizens. Some people consider such scenes to be a spoilage of the beauty of the surroundings and an act of rudeness, while other netizens believe it is a way of getting closer to nature and that there’s no need to criticize it too much.
**If it’s not about policies regarding environmental pollution caused by tourism, then how can such behaviors still occur?
What about those scorching summers? Isn’t one supposed to enjoy being near water?
I still think it’s better if everyone behaves civilly; today they wash their feet, and tomorrow they might throw away trash!
The quality of the Chinese people needs to be improved urgently...
In public places, one should maintain a more serious demeanor!
I don’t quite agree with this view. In the past, it was necessary to clean the toilets, and this used to be a common sight in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in the mornings
I don’t think it has anything to do with quality; firstly, washing feet doesn’t generate much pollution, and it’s the rainwater that flows down after rainfall which carries more pollutants. It seems like this is being overinterpreted
Well, in any case, nothing is absolute; I hope it turns out to be something good!
