Regardless of size, infants under the age of 1 still need to buy boat tickets in scenic areas? Response: Video based on head count | Children | Infants
On July 9th, a netizen posted a video claiming that they were holding a child under one year old while playing at the Xizha Scenic Area in Wuzhen. When taking a boat, the child was also required to purchase a ticket. "I heard it for the first time."
In the video posted by the netizen, a parent holding their child had a dispute with the staff over the shipping ticket and directly stated that this charging method was "unreasonable". However, after some arguments, he ultimately bought tickets for the child.
The reporter noticed that in the comment section, some people support the netizen, believing that one year old children should be free of charge, and in most places, "children under 1.2 meters are free." Some people also believe that boat tickets are different from ordinary tickets. Boats are a means of transportation, with a specified number of people and cannot be overloaded. "Otherwise, if something happens, insurance will not cover it."
On July 10th, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News contacted a staff member of Wuzhen Scenic Area, who stated that the cruise ships in the scenic area are charged based on the number of people per person, and each boat can only accommodate 8 people. Regardless of age, there is also a charge for holding a baby, with 30 people under 1.5 meters and 60 people above 1.5 meters, covering insurance costs. "Not based on seats, if there are 8 adults and 1 baby, one adult needs to disembark and board the next class."
