CCTV News: The Chinese Embassy in the Maldives solemnly reminded Chinese tourists to Maldives to strengthen their safety precautions for water trekking on August 23.

Recently, there have been cases of unfortunate drowning of Chinese tourists in the Maldives, which is heartbreaking. The Embassy in the Maldives solemnly reminds Chinese tourists to Malaysia to cherish their lives and put safety first. Respect nature and the special water environment in foreign countries, always put personal safety first, and choose water wading activities that suit your physical condition and age.

Be sure to be in awe. The horse is located in the Indian Ocean, with strong winds and waves in the sea, strong currents, and often accompanied by undercurrents that are not easy to detect. For tourists who are unfamiliar with the sea conditions or lack experience, the risk factor is higher. Tourists coming to Malaysia must carefully consult hotel or homestay staff to clarify the safe areas suitable for swimming and avoid accidentally entering the ocean currents. Floating and sinking in the sea is extremely risky compared to swimming in the swimming pool. It is recommended to deal with it carefully, wear swimming rings or life jackets, and not swim and play in the water outside the designated safe range.

Be sure to pay close attention to weather changes. Arrange travel and sea activities itineraries reasonably. It is currently a time when the weather is changing and the sea conditions are unstable. Do not rashly go out to sea or participate in water projects under severe weather conditions such as strong winds and low visibility.

Be sure to take good care of your family and fellow friends. Not all the open areas of Madai Resort and B&B are equipped with lifeguards, and the on-duty conditions are also different. Be sure to take care of the elderly, children and peers who are not familiar with water.

Be sure to keep your travel permit and valuables. Please carry cash and other valuables with you or keep them properly. Please lock the suitcase to avoid inconvenience caused by losing them.
