Recently, Shanghai Lujiazui is holding a lively coffee festival in full swing. Unexpectedly, in Shanghai this morning, it began to rain heavily instead of the crisp autumn of a few days ago. However, for the coffee-addicted Shanghainese, the rain of this idea will not dampen their enthusiasm for going out for coffee.

According to photos shared by netizens on social media, although the scene did not recreate the crowd of the previous days before the official start of the event at 10:00, tourists waiting with umbrellas still formed a long line at the door. After the staff verified the qualification of the reservation, some tourists who entered the event began to regret wearing a pair of white sneakers to go out today.

It is understood that the coffee festival is held on a wide local grass, and there is not much shelter around it. Rain Water poured down and turned the grass into muddy ground in a twinkling of an eye. What is even more helpless is that due to the poor drainage effect of the grass, the rain this morning is fierce, and there is obvious stagnant water after the heavy rain in some lower places, so that tourists complain that they are walking in the muddy water with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

This situation made some businesses a little unprepared. According to feedback from front-line netizens, the roofs of some stalls are made of non-waterproof cloth, and water leaks to varying degrees after a heavy rain, and the stall owner can only make drinks for the guests under the shed to avoid Rain Water, who is leaking in the cracks.

Some stall owners are in a hurry and quickly take out cling film, plastic film and so on to protect the machinery and equipment and raw materials that are afraid of water. However, there are also merchants who do not deal with it in a timely manner, resulting in the whole stall has fallen into the plight of power outage.

Local residents said that a few days ago, the Meteorological Bureau made a forecast of rain this weekend. As the organizer of the event, he should be aware of the impact of rainy days on open-air activities and should prepare plans for rainy days to ensure the smooth conduct of the coffee festival.

However, at the scene of the event, a few tarpaulins were spread piecemeal on the road, which could not improve the environment for tourists. After walking on the wet grass, most people's shoes were basically covered with dirt. In addition, the organizers do not seem to have prepared canopies and waterproof plastic films for merchants in advance, causing damage and losses to some exhibitors' equipment.

Many netizens were extremely dissatisfied with the situation, believing that under the premise that the weather forecast had told that it might be rainy at the weekend, the organizers did not prepare for this, allowing tourists to trek through the muddy grass and drink coffee in a rainy environment, which greatly affected the participants' experience.

In response, some regular guests of the coffee festival said that the event, held in late autumn every year, has encountered rainy days many times, and this experience of drinking coffee in muddy water is not the first time for them to feel it. They have long been accustomed to it, but they also do not understand why the organizers have not learned lessons for so many years and are ready to prepare plans for rainy days.

However, apart from complaining, the more optimistic tourists think that smelling the aroma of coffee in the mud feels like "going back to the coffee estates in America and Africa", and the coffee they drink "brings its own fresh washing flavor of the day." It is also said that the number of people at the event has plummeted due to rainy days, so that people do not have to spend too much time waiting in line, which is a good thing.
