Nanluoguxiang occupies a very important position in Beijing tourism. This is an ancient street with a history of more than 700 years. Its length is 787 meters and its width is 8 meters. It can be said to be a street, but it is not only a street, but also a residential area. At first, under the vigorous construction of Nanluoguxiang, various shops were opened here, which soon became a commercial street. At the same time, Nanluoguxiang became more and more famous, and more and more people flocked to Nanluoguxiang. Here also quickly got the scenic spot qualification.
Nanluoguxiang is just a commercial street, but its development potential is beyond everyone's imagination. Often overcrowded, the number of tourists here often exceeds the carrying capacity here. Due to frequent overcrowding, the facilities and features of Nanluoguxiang have been damaged to some extent. As I said before, this is still a residential area, and so many people have had a considerable impact on residents' lives. Residents can't stand noise and crowding.
The following data can show how crowded Nanluoguxiang is. According to relevant standards, the tourist carrying capacity of Nanluoguxiang is 6.5438+0.7 million, but the daily average here is 30,000, reaching 50,000 on weekends and 654.38+0. 1 10,000 on holidays. This is not just an overload, but several times.
For this reason, in order to restore the normal life of residents and protect the facilities here, on the eve of the National Day of 20 16, Nanluoguxiang announced that it would not receive tourists, hoping that major travel agencies would change their routes and submitted an application to cancel the 3A qualification. It is indeed inevitable to cancel the qualification of scenic spots, mainly to reduce the number of tourists. In fact, Nanluoguxiang had taken the initiative to apply for a reduction from 4A to 3A before canceling 3A qualification.
