Three people drowned at Dawulun Beach in Keelung yesterday (12th). The Keelung City Government announced in the evening that the waters around Dawulun Beach will be closed for a week from now on. The city government further announced today that the sea area of Chaojing Park will be closed from 0:00 am tomorrow and will be closed for 1 week to 20 days. Mayor Xie Guoliang came to the site today for surveys, and proposed to have power boats for rescue, and suggested that at least tourists from other counties and cities should charge fees for visiting Dawulun Beach and Chaojing Park.
Xie Guoliang said that the city government must review. Taking Dawulun Beach as an example, an average of 3.6 people died every year in the past 10 years. The focus should be to think about safety measures immediately after the review. If no safety measures are established, Dawu will not be opened Lun Beach.

Lin Dingchao, director of the Production and Development Department of the Keelung City Government, said in an interview with the Central News Agency that starting from 0:00 am tomorrow, the diving area of Chaojing Park will be closed until the 20th. The production and development office explained that the tidal environment conservation area is a diving hot spot, and there are more than a thousand tourists on holidays. However, there is no planned water lifesaving manpower in the field at present. The sea area has changed rapidly recently, and the diving rescue part still needs to strengthen supporting procedures. Before the painting is completed, it will be closed for a week until the 20th.
Xie Guoliang said through a press release that there are nearly a thousand people diving in Chaojing Park every holiday. In the face of peak crowds, the current management and rescue mechanism is still not comprehensive enough. Formulate new rescue and management measures.
Keelung City Fire Chief Xiang Yongcai said that Dawulun Beach is the most unsafe water playing area in Keelung City. The three deceased yesterday did not comply with the regulations and crossed the warning line. Currently there is no penalty for crossing the warning line, only persuasion.
Xie Guoliang was interviewed by the media and said that the municipal government will study the relevant self-government regulations, include them in the management and send the relevant penalties to the council for consideration. In addition, he has always hoped that Dawulun Beach will have a business model. If there is no income, it may not be easy to raise enough resources, and improve water service quality and safety management. Xie Guoliang gave an example. In the past 10 years, there were 36 deaths in Dawulun Beach without management, 19 deaths in Chaojing Park in the same period without management, and only 6 deaths in Heping Island Park in the same period because of management. The number of deaths varies greatly.
Xie Guoliang said that the sea area is very unsafe due to factors such as extreme weather or typhoon peripheral circulation. Completely equipped and at least equipped with a powered boat, it is hoped that lifeguards can rescue on board, rather than swimming with their bodies to pull the drowning person back to the shore in a dangerous environment.

Xie Guoliang said that because Heping Island Park is outsourced and has a business model, tourists pay some money for fun. A large part of the money may be used to save the lives of tourists. After this incident, the city government will definitely propose Dawulun Beach For Hechaojing Park, at least tourists from other counties and cities will be charged for visiting these two places, and the fees and resources received will be used in rescue measures.
Xie Guoliang said that Dawulun Beach was free for everyone to go in and out before, and the city government only invited bids to appoint outsiders to rescue life. The city will review.
