　　Li Xiaoping, member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Mayor of Jiujiang Municipal Government, visited Lushan Xihai to conduct a survey on the 5A-level tourism development initiative and National Day tourism safety measures. On September 18, Vice Mayor Li Xiaoping visited Lushan West Sea to inspect and guide the 5A-level scenic area creation efforts as well as preparations for tourism reception during the National Day Golden Week. He conducted on-site inspections of projects such as the Sima Tourist Center, smart tourism initiatives, and island renovation and upgrading. Afterwards, he convened a symposium at the Creation Office to listen to reports on the ongoing work, and coordinated solutions to key and difficult issues. Vice Mayor Li Xiaoping emphasized three points: First, further accelerate the pace of progress. We must overcome all adverse factors, fully ensure logistical support—including staffing, safety, materials, and equipment—and strictly adhere to established timelines to achieve efficient implementation. Second, further enhance the quality of the project. We should strive for excellence, delivering high-quality projects and ensuring integrity throughout the process. From the perspective of tourists, we must scientifically and rationally optimize planning and design, paying close attention to details and making significant improvements in subtle aspects, thereby genuinely enhancing tourists’ comfort, engagement, and satisfaction. Third, further refine contingency plans. We must thoroughly anticipate potential challenges in areas such as National Day travel routes, transportation, food, and accommodation, and develop comprehensive plans covering tourism reception, tourism safety, and emergency response. This will ensure that the achievements of the creation effort can stand up to market scrutiny and receive positive feedback from tourists.

　　 The Lushan West Sea Scenic Area held a meeting to deploy tourism reception work for the 2020 National Day Golden Week. On September 17, the Party Working Committee of the scenic area held a special meeting to deploy work related to tourism safety and epidemic prevention and control during the National Day Golden Week. The meeting emphasized the following points: First, we must raise our political awareness and strengthen our ideological understanding. All sectors of the region should uphold the principle of putting service first and regard the reception work during this National Day Golden Week as a crucial test of our efforts to achieve the 5A-level designation. It is imperative that we ensure tourists have an even better travel experience. Second, we must set clear goals and plan ahead. We need to establish a robust tourism safety assurance system and absolutely prevent any outbreaks, complaints, or safety incidents from occurring. Third, we must promote coordinated efforts across the entire region and take on our responsibilities courageously. All departments and tourism-related enterprises should adopt a holistic approach, unite their efforts, and work together to deliver outstanding service during the National Day period and enhance the scenic area’s tourism brand. Fourth, we must firmly assign responsibilities and ensure effective implementation. Each department should clearly define its responsibilities, develop detailed work plans, make careful arrangements, and guarantee the smooth completion of the National Day reception tasks.

　　 Carry out in-depth joint law enforcement operations in waterways to effectively protect Lushan Xihai—a landscape of green hills and a crystal-clear lake. The Lushan West Sea Branch of the Jiujiang Municipal Public Security Bureau, taking into account the characteristics of Lushan West Sea—wide lake area, numerous islands, and sparse population—has actively explored and implemented the “Three Patrols, Three Inspections, and Three Must-Dos” mechanism for waterways, in line with the work deployment of “Two Police Officers per Village, One Police Officer per Scenic Spot,” and combined with an information-based policing model. This approach ensures comprehensive involvement from the source to the end, enabling timely detection and crackdown on illegal and criminal activities that harm fishery resources. To date, the branch has conducted over 50 joint law enforcement operations, deploying more than 120 police officers and 60 boat trips. It has legally dealt with 44 illegal floating facilities on the water, handled two criminal cases and one administrative case, thereby effectively safeguarding the natural ecological environment and tourism safety of Lushan West Sea.
