　　Day-by-day, cycling, and camping are the most popular "three major items" for travel in Chengdu recently. During the Dragon Boat Festival, they are still the most popular sports in Chengdu.

　　On the 3rd, the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the reporter visited and found that greenway cycling and tent camping were in full swing.

In addition, some outdoor hiking and mountaineering activities are also quite popular.

However, it needs to be reminded that you must keep in mind when traveling safely during the holidays.

　　How to deal with potential risks and surprises?

The reporter compiled a safe travel guide to "add bricks and help" for citizens to travel safely.

　　1. Greenway cycling safety strategy

　　Rainy day riding essentials

　　When putting on a raincoat, avoid drifting and being caught in the wheel or hooked by a motor vehicle, and pay attention to the speed of passing vehicles.

Don't apply too much force when braking, brake several times and slow down slowly as the key.

　　When riding in the rain, the braking effect will be weakened and the braking distance will increase, so you should pay attention to braking in advance.

　　Night riding essentials

　　Riding at night is prone to delusions of speed and will feel slower than during the day, so you must pay attention to the safety distance.

Keep an extra light bulb or two in case you need it.

　　Pay attention to all kinds of bad road conditions on the side of the road, and avoid rushing up or falling out of sight.

The device of the reflector is indispensable, which helps the motor vehicle to detect our presence.

　　Summer cycling essentials

　　When you are tired from riding, you need to replenish water and salt in time to quench your thirst and refresh your mind.

Do not drink water from cattle, but small drinks.

After lunch, it is advisable to take a proper rest before continuing to ride to avoid sunburn.

　　Second, camping safety strategy

　　Sudden thunderstorms:

　　1. Keep away from under tall trees, especially under relatively independent tall trees, away from weathered cliffs, higher slopes or under steep soil slopes, and away from high-risk areas such as rivers, streams, and seasonal riverbeds.

　　2. Avoid high-voltage tower lines and other buildings that may cause accidents. If there is only a relatively independent building and there is no other choice, you should always face the open side of the terrain.

　　3. Concentrate on observing from time to time, focus on listening to identify abnormal sounds as soon as possible, and ensure that you can evacuate as soon as possible.

　　Sudden flash floods:

　　1. Keep calm and run to hillsides, highlands, flood shelters and other places with higher terrain at the fastest speed. Be careful not to run in the direction of the floodway.

　　2. Avoid electric facilities such as high-voltage line towers in the wild to prevent electric shock.

　　3. If you have been involved in flash floods, you should quickly look for floatable objects, grab fixed or floating objects as much as possible, and look for opportunities to escape.

　　Sudden geological disasters:

　　1. To quickly escape to the stable areas on both sides, do not run up or down along the mountain.

　　2. Don't hide under hillsides with rolling stones and lots of accumulations.

　　3. Don't stay in low-lying places, and don't climb trees to avoid.

　　4. Be sure to try to run from the affected house to the open area.

　　Sudden hypothermia in the wild:

　　1. Immediately seek shelter, rest in a sheltered place, change out of wet clothes, increase warmth, and eat carbohydrates.

　　2. Assist the hypothermic person to wrap up a thermal blanket and prevent them from strenuous activity to prevent the core body temperature from being further lowered due to the return of cold blood in the limbs.

　　3. In serious cases, call for medical assistance or conduct professional treatment.

　　Sudden heat stroke:

　　1. Immediately move the person with heat stroke to a cool place, loosen or take off clothes, and use something to prop up the head and shoulders.

　　2. Put a cold and wet towel on the forehead of the person suffering from heat stroke, it is better to have a water or ice pack.

　　3. Soak a sponge in alcohol, or a towel in cold water, and use it to wipe the body to lower the body temperature to normal temperature.

　　4. In serious cases, call for medical assistance or conduct professional treatment.
