On October 23, in the self-driving tour area of Beijing Wild Animal Park, a tourist suddenly got off the car and rushed towards the tiger group. This scene was filmed by tourists from behind, and it caused heated discussion after it was posted on social platforms. Visitors who witnessed said that yesterday afternoon, in the self-driving tour area of Beijing Wildlife Park, a tourist wearing a dark down jacket got out of the car without permission and rushed towards the tiger group without listening to the dissuasion of the staff in the park.
Later, four or five staff members arrived at the scene, discouraged another tourist who wanted to catch up, and urged him to return to the car. A staff member also brought a ladder and other tools.
“Everyone was shocked,” said an eyewitness tourist. “Later, we were driven away by the staff, but we heard a few noises. I don’t know what happened and whether anyone or the tiger was injured.”
In this regard, the staff of Beijing Wildlife Park said that yesterday afternoon, the park had already called the police. Currently, the police are investigating, and the follow-up situation is subject to the police report.
In fact, this is not the first time that tourists get off the bus without authorization in the self-driving tourist area at Beijing Wild Animal Park. The staff of the park explained that the self-driving tourist area in the park is mainly for tourists to watch wild animals from a distance. Tourists are allowed to “drive the window and open the skylight” for sightseeing, but they are not allowed to get off the car.
According to reports, the self-driving tour area of Beijing Wild Animal Park adopts five-layer safety protection technology. In the Beasts exhibition area, the park has effectively isolated Beasts from tourists and staff through concealed isolation measures. However, due to the exquisite design, visitors basically cannot feel the existence of isolation measures.
