Queuing is also an "exhibition item" of the Civilization Expo
If queuing is a phenomenon that can be seen from time to time in urban life, orderly queuing makes people feel the civilization of urban people. After the opening of the Expo, queuing will become a common phenomenon in the Expo area. Can we say that visiting the World Expo means queuing and watching others queue, and while you are watching, you are "being watched" at the same time, just like what is written in a poem: Those who watch the scenery are also watched as the scenery.
Queuing can also be an enjoyable thing
Saying that visiting the World Expo means queuing and watching the queuing is by no means a self-deprecation, but is it possible to say that we Turn queuing into an "exhibition item" to display in the city and urban life, and turn queuing into something that can be enjoyed?
If the park has been designed and constructed with the queues of visitors in mind, and various environments and facilities have people-oriented concepts integrated into them, no matter it is sunny, rainy or windy, the queues will remain the same. People will be effectively protected, and their view will not be blocked, preventing them from taking in the beautiful scenery of the park up close and far while waiting - then isn't it possible to enjoy queuing?
If the exhibitors of each exhibition hall had already allowed them to fully appreciate the beauty of urban life while waiting before satisfying the visitors entering the exhibition hall, even the queues would become "works" "How can visitors feel upset?
If the service organization in the park is enthusiastic and considerate, in addition to providing services at a fixed venue, it will arrange catering, snacks, souvenir sales, etc. appropriately, so that visitors can wait in line while waiting in line. It can fulfill many "non-mainstream" needs and save the time of queuing several times for this. So if "this" queue takes longer, what is unacceptable? It is better to kill several birds with one stone than to arrange them vertically and horizontally.
If the park manager is resourceful, promptly publishes the queuing status and estimated waiting time of each exhibition hall, and organizes everyone to make reservations and registrations, and notifies the reservation holders to come and queue in batches according to their registration numbers every half hour, then Visitors to the exhibition can roam around the garden without waiting. Will this still make people anxious?
Only by "cooperating" can you enjoy the fun of queuing
If all visitors to the exhibition have a peaceful mind and regard queuing as "another half-day of leisure", or look carefully at the exhibits that they have no time to read in advance. You can read the exhibition guide; or you can follow the artists on the roadside and blend into the scenery of the performance; or you can just happen to have a chat with the visitors waiting in line.
The above assumptions are by no means pipe dreams. In fact, from the overall designers of the park, to the creative designers of the exhibition halls, to the management departments and service staff, they all regard the queue of visitors as a resource to be developed and planned, rather than a "burden". Whether it is the World Expo or the Olympic Games, there is competition between countries behind it. However, unlike the competition with clear rules in the Olympic Games, the competition at the World Expo is "working hard in secret". Under the theme of "Better City, Better Life", the pavilions of various countries They all regard letting visitors experience the beauty of life as a "competition event", and they also spend a lot of thought on solving the queuing problem.
When all parties involved in the exhibition have done their best and done their jobs well, the "ball" will roll to the feet of the visitors. It not only requires the visitors to understand the work of various staff members who have been busy for several years. The unique ingenuity requires visitors to have a heartfelt understanding and compliance with the "cooperation mechanism" in the queue. The beauty of a city and life lies not only in its architecture, facilities, conveniences and creativity, but also in the conscious management and cooperation of facility users, because a city does not belong to one person, and life cannot be lived alone - this daily truth is exhibited at the World Expo It works just as well as when queuing.
Visitors can see a "voice-controlled power ball" in the German Pavilion that embodies the theme of "Harmonious City": the louder the voices of the visitors shouting in unison, the greater the swing of the ball. ——The designer’s intention is to let everyone experience a truth for themselves: cooperation is the basis of harmony.
Therefore, when encountering a long queue, visitors must remind themselves that whether everything others do can have the desired effect on you in the end depends on you; if you do not have a peaceful heart, you will become anxious after waiting for a long time. If you feel irritable, irritable or even resentful, or even think about jumping in line, it will definitely ruin your mood for watching exhibitions and performances, and you will not be able to enjoy the unique joy of queuing at the World Expo while you are meandering quietly.
The beauty of the city and the beauty of life come from the joint creation of all people living in the city, including those who line up.
