According to the WeChat public account 'China Consulate General in Lyon', on July 23, the China Consulate General in Lyon issued a summer safety reminder.
Since the summer, several Chinese tourists who visited the region have experienced incidents where their car windows were smashed, resulting in the loss of identification documents and financial losses. Many tourists also encountered difficulties while hiking in mountainous areas. Recently, several Chinese citizens have unfortunately died in accidents. The Chinese Consulate General in Lyon reminds Chinese tourists in the Aveyron region to enhance their safety awareness and strengthen self-protection measures to ensure their travel safety.
1. The climate in mountainous areas is unpredictable, and the terrain is complex. Please thoroughly understand the weather conditions and route of your destination before traveling, and make adequate preparations. Choose activities that suit your physical condition, proceed within your limits, and fully follow the advice of local guides and other professionals to ensure the safety of outdoor activities. In case of bad weather, adjust your itinerary promptly to avoid risky trips.
II. During a self-driving trip, if the driver leaves the vehicle, it is necessary to close all doors and windows and lock the security lock. No valuable items or travel documents should be stored in the vehicle. It is especially important not to store bags within the visible range of the front and rear windows, to avoid being stolen by criminals who might break the windows.
The Chinese Consulate General in Lyon also reminds citizens within its consulate area, especially those studying abroad, to be vigilant against various types of telecom fraud schemes. If you cannot determine whether a call is a scam, please promptly verify with the Consulate General in Lyon or the Global Consular Protection and Service Emergency Hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In case of an emergency, please report to the police immediately and contact the consulate-general for assistance.
