  book

  Online booking is very convenient, and industry supervision needs to be improved.

  The car rental platform should further improve the management mode, especially the management of car safety, such as regularly checking the safety performance of cars, repairing damaged cars in time, and forcibly scrapping dangerous cars to ensure the safety of car renters.

  "Going to go on road trip, Xinjiang is an unforgettable experience." Tian Yu, who lives in Gongbei District, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, said that in July this year, he and his friends rented a car for seven days in Xinjiang and visited Tianchi, Turpan, Bosten Lake, the southern section of Duku Highway, Yili, Sailimu Lake and Karamay. "This is my first time renting a car in go on road trip, and it feels quite smooth."

  Tian Yu said that go on road trip, Xinjiang is very popular in summer. When he booked a car on a car rental APP more than a month in advance, most of the cars at the local pick-up points had been booked, and only a few cars were available at some distant pick-up points, so he quickly placed an order. "The car is too tight, have no choice. Although the price is more expensive, it is acceptable. " Tian Yu said.

  "It is very convenient to pick up the car at the pick-up point." Tian Yu said that after flying to Urumqi, he arrived at the car pick-up point at the scheduled time, signed the contract, paid the deposit, and checked the basic situation of the car, so he could drive off.

  Car rental and self-driving are convenient, flexible and comfortable, and are loved by many tourists, especially young people. According to the statistics of China Travel Association and other institutions, go on road trip accounted for more than 65% of the national tourism market in 2017, and the total number of trips in go on road trip exceeded 3.1 billion, among which the proportion of parents, families and couples driving by car was the highest, and go on road trip became the first choice for holiday travel.

  Zeng Bowei, an associate professor at the School of Tourism of Beijing Union University, said that the conditions in go on road trip are constantly maturing, and the national highway construction is constantly improving, especially the expressway mileage is growing rapidly, connecting tourist attractions with cities; Roads, parking lots, hotels and other related supporting software and hardware facilities in tourist attractions are becoming more and more complete, and the accessibility of cars is improved.

  The development of mobile internet technology makes it more convenient to rent a car, navigate and book a hotel, and increases people’s enthusiasm for renting a car and driving by car. According to reports, Ctrip travel platform has opened car rental and self-driving services covering more than 330 domestic cities and more than 200 countries around the world, with more than 80,000 stores and more than 5 million cars for consumers to choose from.

  Car rental and self-driving are very popular, but there are also some problems. For example, some consumers reported that booking a car in advance to the store was told that the travel plan was ruined because there were no reserved models, and the car rental platform was single in the peak season, the price was too high, and the quality of car rental could not be guaranteed.

  According to industry insiders, the supervision of the car rental industry is still not perfect, and there is a lack of unified coordination and management departments. Some car rental platforms also have problems in internal management. As a service provider, the car rental platform should further improve the management methods, especially the management of car safety, such as regularly checking the safety performance of cars, timely repairing damaged cars and forcibly scrapping dangerous cars to ensure the safety of car renters.

  on passage

  Visiting is more free, and there are many embarrassments on the way.

  Some roads have very low speed limits, and some scenic spots have no parking facilities. Tourists stop at narrow roadside to take pictures, which increases the risk on the way to go on road trip.

  Xiong Liang is a doctor in Shaodong County, Hunan Province. On October 3-4 this year, he drove his family to Chenzhou City and visited Dongjiang Lake, Feitian Mountain Geopark and Epozhai. "These scenic spots have a large area and scattered scenic spots. It is only easy to drive." Xiong Liang said.

  Xiong Liang drove from home to Chenzhou, the whole journey was nearly 350 kilometers, which was basically an expressway. He followed the navigation and drove smoothly. "Although the road conditions to the scenic spots become a bit complicated after getting off the expressway, with navigation and looking at road signs, it is easy to find the entrance to the scenic spot."

  Xiong Liang found that the roads in scenic spots are becoming more and more humanized, and various road signs have increased a lot. Parking in the scenic spot is more convenient. If there are scenic spots nearby, a large parking lot will often be built along the road, so he and his family can stop to enjoy the scenery and take photos as a souvenir.

  "Considering that the hotel price in the scenic spot is too expensive during the National Day holiday, I booked the hotel in the nearest county town from the scenic spot online, which is more affordable and has good conditions." Xiong Liang said that go on road trip didn’t encounter any problems during the whole meal and accommodation.

  In recent years, the speed of road construction in scenic spots in China has been accelerating. Some remote scenic spots are also connected with expressways and high-grade highways, which have become popular attractions, such as the Aizhai Extra-large Suspension Bridge in Hunan and Tianlu in Zhangbei Grassland, attracting a large number of self-driving tourists. Local governments are also vigorously building scenic roads. For example, "Planning of Tourism Public Service System in Hebei Province" proposes that by 2020, the province’s 5A-level scenic spots and national-level tourist resorts will be connected with expressways, and 4A-level scenic spots, provincial-level tourist resorts and characteristic towns will be connected with secondary and above highways, thus completely solving the "last mile" problem of scenic spots.

  Tian Yu said that even in the Dragon Pond scenic spot at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters on the mountainside of Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang, the cell phone signal is very good, and you can also surf the Internet. There are several large parking lots near the Duku Highway for tourists to rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery. There is a resort near Bosten Lake. After purchasing tickets, tourists can drive in, eat, stay and enjoy the desert lake view.

  However, some tourists in go on road trip encounter highway maintenance, the speed limit is very low, and even traffic jams, which greatly reduces their interest in traveling; Some tourists can’t find a parking place when they see a good scenic spot, so they can only take risks to stop at the narrow roadside to take pictures, which is dangerous. Some tourists book hotels online, but when they arrive at the place, they find that there are none. Other hotels are full and they can only spend the night in the car … …

  Zeng Bowei believes that relevant departments should improve go on road trip’s services, such as providing go on road trip public information such as weather and road conditions in time, building enough road signs, adding and widening scenic parking lots, and encouraging the development of motels. "go on road trip has certain risks, so tourists are advised not to go to go on road trip, where natural disasters such as mudslides and avalanches often occur. Go on road trip should pay attention to check the weather and road information before. If you drive for a long distance, you should pay attention to the maintenance and safety inspection of the car to eliminate the problems of the car itself. It’s best to go with two or three people who can drive, and drive in turn to reduce fatigue driving. Obey the traffic rules when driving, and it is best not to catch up at night. "

  Return the car

  Overtime rent withdrawal is troublesome, and you will spend more money if you are not careful.

  The car rental platform should constantly improve the service level, put an end to unreasonable terms, and let consumers be happy to pick up the car, drive safely and return the car smoothly.

  "It’s very convenient to pick up the car, but I didn’t expect to have trouble returning it." Tian Yu said that he agreed with the car rental platform to pick up the car at 7 pm and return it. Unexpectedly, he encountered road maintenance on the expressway back to Urumqi, and the speed limit was very low. He could only drive 60 kilometers per hour at the fastest, and some sections were still blocked by traffic. He hurried slowly and finally got on the bus at 9: 30 in the evening.

  "In the beginning, the staff at the car return point said that we were late, and the original 7-day package had to be changed to a daily rental fee." Tian Yu calculated an account, originally scheduled for a 7-day package, and charged 700 yuan every day. If the daily rent is charged, the daily fee is 900 yuan, which will cost 1,400 yuan more. "We are one and a half hours late, and it is obviously unreasonable to pay an extra 1,400 yuan for the package change."

  The staff at the car return point insisted on changing the package, but Tian Yu disagreed. He called the customer service center of the car rental platform and explained the situation. The customer service staff said that they could not make a decision, so they found the relevant person in charge of the company. The person in charge thinks that Tian Yu’s lateness is a special reason, and decides to maintain the original set meal and only charge 50 yuan for her lateness. In this way, Tian Yu agreed to pay the car back.

  According to industry insiders, some car rental platforms are indeed less reasonable in signing contracts with consumers, which is unfavorable to consumers and more beneficial to car rental companies. He believes that consumers who are late for returning the car due to objective reasons can charge according to the excess time, or charge a certain late fee, but can’t change the whole package, which will greatly increase consumers’ expenses.

  Some consumers are confused: they want to rent a car in one city and return it in another city, but many car rental platforms can’t do this and require that the car must be returned in the same city.

  "This is a market behavior." Zeng Bowei analyzed that the current car rental market is not big enough. If a car rental company provides car rental services in two cities, A and B, if all passengers drive their vehicles from A to B, there will be no cars to rent in A.. In this way, the car rental company must invest a lot of money to pull the vehicle back to A city, which is not cost-effective from the operational point of view. With the increasing market and more and more tourists renting cars, it may be more common to return cars in different places.

  The person in charge of the Ctrip car rental platform said that for the car rental platform, it is necessary to further tap the service advantages of suppliers and provide users with better quality services. Every time Ctrip rents a car, it will understand the new needs of users through research and help suppliers to better improve and perfect their services.

  "Car rental in go on road trip is becoming more and more popular. While making profits, the car rental platform should also continuously improve the service level, put an end to unreasonable terms, and let consumers be happy to pick up the car, drive safely and return the car smoothly. " Zeng Bowei said that in the future, with the increase of people’s rest time and the further convenience of transportation, go on road trip will usher in a new round of development.

The Ministry of Commerce responded to the EU’s proposal to impose temporary anti-dumping duties on biodiesel imported from China.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 25th (Reporter Tang Ningning, Xie Xiyao) He Yong, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said on July 25th that China had noticed that the European Commission released the preliminary findings of its anti-dumping investigation on biodiesel in China on July 19th, and proposed to impose provisional anti-dumping duties on biodiesel imported from China. China is highly concerned about the protectionist actions of the European side in the biodiesel industry.

  Recently, the European Commission announced that it would impose a temporary anti-dumping duty of 12.8% to 36.4% on biodiesel imported from China. In this regard, He Yongqian responded at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce held on the 25th that China has always advocated the rational and prudent use of trade remedy measures, and urged the European side not to rashly adopt trade protectionist measures and resolve mutual concerns with China through dialogue and consultation.

  "The EU is the world’s largest consumer of biodiesel. The import of biodiesel from China is to meet the huge consumer demand in the EU market and accelerate the realization of its own green transformation and energy conservation and emission reduction goals." He Yongqian said that China has repeatedly stressed that European taxation measures will only raise the cost of related products, harm the interests of related industries and consumers in the EU, and undermine the EU’s green transformation process and the overall situation of China-EU economic and trade cooperation.

Be alert! These two kinds of food at home are actually "big salt hoarders", and you may eat them every day.

Salt is the "top of all tastes". Without salt, the flavor of dishes will be greatly reduced. However, it is distressing that high sodium intake is an important risk factor for hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, gastric cancer and other diseases, affecting health and life expectancy.

The 2022 version of the dietary pagoda was changed from the original recommendation of < 6 grams to < 5 grams, which is consistent with the recommendation of WHO. At present, the average salt consumption of Chinese people is about 10g, which needs to be controlled.

Beware of the ubiquitous "salt" in life

In daily life, a 76-gram salted duck egg contains 5 grams of salt, a bag of 250 grams of dry sauce contains 39.56 grams of salt, and some ingredients that don’t taste very salty may also be high-salt foods.

In addition, we should also pay attention to the "invisible salt" in life, such as soy sauce, yellow sauce, hot sauce, bean paste and pickles, which all contain relatively high salt, and processed meat such as ham, quick-frozen pasta, kelp and other foods also contain certain salt, so it is best not to add salt when cooking.

There are also two kinds of "big salt collectors" that many people ignore: a 100-gram fried dough stick contains 1.6 grams of salt; The dried noodles look very light, and the salt content in every 500 grams can be close to 12 grams! Because in the processing of dried noodles, a lot of salt will be added in order to increase the strength, ensure the taste and facilitate storage.

Tips

① Check the ingredient list on the outer packaging of dried noodles before purchasing dried noodles, and give priority to the one with lower sodium content. If you have enough time, it is healthier to roll noodles at home with lower salt.

2 The tomato sauce bought in the market also contains a certain amount of salt, so frying the sauce with fresh tomatoes is healthier with lower salt.

③ Using spices such as onions skillfully in the cooking process can help to enlarge the fragrance and umami taste, and reduce the salt, so that you can eat delicious food and be healthy!

Six small tricks to control salt

When cooking, vinegar, lemon juice and other sour sauces are used instead of some salt and soy sauce, which can improve the taste of food and taste delicious.

Cooking methods such as steaming, roasting and boiling are often used. For soup with salt, avoid drinking vegetable soup.

Eat more delicious dishes, such as onions, tomatoes, green peppers, carrots and other foods, and use the taste of the food itself to enhance the taste of the dishes.

When cooking cold salad, put salt at last, sprinkle a little less salt and add some vinegar, and it tastes good.

When using condiments such as soy sauce, use the method of dipping and dipping instead of pouring soy sauce into the dish at one time.

You don’t need to put salt in all the dishes, and the last soup can be made without salt. Because the taste of salt in people’s mouth can be accumulated, people have left salt in their mouth when they eat other dishes, so when they drink soup at last, it tastes good even without salt.
