Travel notes

Rafting is a self-help tourism activity that blends you with the natural environment. As you need to take a boat in the unknown rapids, it is necessary to understand the situation and safety instructions of rafting. The following is to introduce some matters that should be paid attention to in Hutou gorge drifting.

1. Rafting is dangerous. You should pay special attention to your own safety. If you want to enter the scenic spot for rafting, you'd better buy a ticket at the designated ticket office and take the rafting tour with "three certificates".

2. When rafting, you'd better wear a life jacket just in case, and you can't take it off halfway, let alone swim in the river.

3. Don't take your valuables with you to avoid water. If you have to take it with you, please keep it properly. It's better to install it with waterproof equipment, especially with mobile phone and camera.

4. The raft is for two people only. Children and adults should take the same bamboo raft. Drinkers, patients with hypertension, heart disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, people with disabilities, pregnant women, children under 6 years old and the elderly over 60 years old should not take the bamboo raft. They can take a boat tour.

5. Trouser legs will get wet when drifting, but it will not affect the play. If the weather is cool, it's better to press the trouser legs higher to avoid affecting the later scenic spots.

6. Pay attention to safety, put on life jacket and helmet under the guidance of the staff, and do not take off the helmet when drifting. No one can guarantee that you will not capsize 100% and when. It's very dangerous for the whole person to be washed down in this way if it is overturned at the rapids of the fall. In case of falling into the water, don't panic. With the help of life jacket, you won't sink into the water. However, when you are drifting in the mountains, there are many rocks on both sides. You should calm down and avoid meeting the stones and trees on both sides. If you have the chance, you should seize the supports on both sides and wait for the rescue workers;

7. In the process of rafting, small boats will splash water on each other for fun. When encountering an enemy boat, don't overdo it. Don't deliberately shake the rafts or push or pull others' rafts. This will bring danger. Basically, the whole body will be wet, so don't bring anything that can't be wet. The process is more intense, such as glasses, the best thing to tie a rope to prevent falling out. You should pay attention to clothes. You should know that after you come up at last, you should walk a short way in a state of being completely wet, and don't wear too loose slippers, unless you think it doesn't matter to lose one;

8. Be prepared for the cold. Because after being washed by water for many times, I began to feel cold later. However, after landing, there will be ginger soup for sale, so I don't have to prepare too many things to drive away the cold;

9. Please cooperate with and follow the guide's arrangement during the tour, and do a good job in safety protection;

10. Drugs: travel may be acclimatized or diarrhea, so be sure to bring antidiarrheal drugs and allergy drugs.
