Zhengzhou, Henan: Escorting the May Day Golden Week, Improving Quality and Efficiency to Make Tourism More 'Electrifying'

As the May Day Golden Week approaches, various tourist attractions are gradually welcoming a new wave of visitor peaks. To comprehensively ensure the power supply and high-quality service of the scenic areas, and to provide tourists with a safe and comfortable experience, the Gongyi Power Supply Company of the State Grid planned ahead and meticulously deployed on April 25. They organized staff to deeply engage in scenic spots such as Du Fu’s Hometown and Longevity Mountain, providing on-site services and safety inspections to ensure reliable power supply for tourists and merchants.

It is understood that from April 26 to April 30, the 11th Du Fu’s Hometown Poetry Week will kick off at the Du Fu’s Hometown Cultural Park in Gongyi City, featuring 15 activities in three categories: public cultural activities, main events, and promotional activities. To ensure the smooth progress of the event, the Gongyi Power Supply Company of the State Grid, based on the actual power demand of the scenic area, conducted comprehensive inspections and maintenance of the power supply lines and equipment at the event site and surrounding areas in advance, eliminating potential power hazards to ensure normal operation of the equipment and reliable power supply to the tourist attractions.

To strengthen the promotion of safe electricity use and raise customers’ awareness of safety, the Gongyi Power Supply Company of the State Grid enhanced the inspection of power usage in crowded places, public areas, and important clients, providing ‘diagnosis and treatment’ for the power usage of hotels, farmhouses, and homestays around the scenic area. For issues identified during the inspections, staff provided on-site rectification suggestions and actively assisted merchants in handling them to ensure the safe and reliable operation of electrical equipment. At the same time, merchants were distributed with safety electricity use promotional materials, detailing common sense and precautions such as avoiding overloaded electricity use, regularly checking electrical equipment, and correctly using sockets, creating a healthy and harmonious electricity use environment for the scenic area.

To ensure the safe and stable power supply of the scenic area during the May Day holiday, the Gongyi Power Supply Company of the State Grid increased the frequency of line equipment inspections, prepared in advance for severe weather and emergencies, with repair personnel and vehicles on 24-hour standby, ready for emergency repairs at any time. The company’s disciplinary inspection committee will conduct comprehensive supervision and inspection of duty, public vehicle management, and safety production during the holiday, maintaining a ‘zero tolerance’ stance towards any violations or disciplinary issues found, making every effort to ensure the public’s safe and reliable electricity use during the holiday, providing strong power support for residents and tourists to enjoy the festival, and empowering the rapid development of the cultural and tourism economy with sufficient electricity.
