Risk analysis of hiking conditions in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River

Three Gorges hiking route: Xiling Gorge (from Nanjinguan to Xiangxi)

From Nanjinguan to Shipai is a highway. After crossing the river, the stone road along the river runs from Shipai to Dangyangtou. None of them are dangerous.

When Yangtou needs to cross the mountain, it takes two to three hours to walk on the mountain road. The road conditions are not good, but it is far away from the river and there is no danger.

Afterwards, we started walking along the riverbank on the boardwalk, which took about forty minutes. Some parts of the boardwalk were very narrow, only one or two feet wide. This section of road is slightly dangerous. But compared to the boardwalk behind, its danger is not worth mentioning. There is also a section of messy grass that is as tall as a person. Be careful not to mix your feet. Below is the surging river water.

After the plank road, it is still a mountain road until Nantuo Village, with no danger.

The road from Nantuo Village to Sandaoping is very wide along the river, while the road from Sandaoping to Maoping is a highway. No danger.

Maoping to Xiangxi is a highway with two tunnels in the middle, which is not dangerous.

Three Gorges hiking conditions:Wuxia (from Badong Sand Brick Field to Wushan)

The Wuxia boardwalk is the most difficult section of hiking in the Three Gorges, and those who lack hiking experience should avoid it.

Walking for one hour on fine sand and gravel roads from Badong Sand Brick Yard is not dangerous.

Afterwards, passing through Huoyanshi Village, Lianzixi, and Yangjiapeng, there are mountain roads or field embankment roads, as well as chaotic stone roads by the river, which are not dangerous.

After a one and a half to three hour boardwalk, we arrived at Nanmu Garden, which was extremely dangerous. The narrow part only allowed feet, and the wide part was no more than one meter. Partial road sections have collapsed, be cautious. When approaching Nanmu Garden, there is a half hour messy grass road, with people standing at the same height. Be careful not to mix your feet.

It takes about two hours to walk from Nanmuyuan to Xiaojiaping Pier on a dangerous boardwalk, and the road conditions are similar to those of Yangjiapeng to Nanmuyuan.

After walking the boardwalk, find your way up the mountain and be careful not to get lost.

Afterwards, there are two options:

One way is to continue walking on the mountain road after reaching Xiaojiaping, flipping over Mazong Mountain, crossing Xingfu Bridge, and reaching Beishi without any danger.

The second is to walk up the boardwalk and pass through Shizhu Village to Beishi. Dangerous, but slightly easier compared to the previous boardwalk.

The journey from Beishi to Qingshi is relatively easy, the path is clear, and it is mostly mountain roads, with some areas having wide boardwalks. There are many weeds on some roads, and one person is tall. Because there are cliffs several tens of meters high below the road, there are some dangers.

From Qingshi to Jumping Stone is a mountain road with poor road conditions, with ups and downs, and little danger Jumping stones to the south bank of Wushan is safe on the way down.

Three Gorges hiking conditions:Qutangxia (from Daxi to Baidicheng)

Hiking starts from the signal station on the north bank, which is a mountain road with ups and downs. There are some local dangers, but the danger level is low.

One hour later, we walked onto the extremely wide boardwalk. After ten minutes, the boardwalk narrowed, but it was still over a meter wide. No danger. This is a famous road that is suitable for all ages.

Precautions for Hiking in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River

The safest road section is often the most prone to accidents, this is a warning that any experienced self guided traveler should put at the bedside. During the entire hiking journey in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, one should be careful and cautious at every section, avoiding carelessness, indifference, and self righteousness.

It is strictly prohibited to talk or answer mobile phones while walking on the boardwalk. The correct approach should be to stop and talk in a safe location, and then make a phone call in a safe area. Because doing other things while walking can easily lead to slipping.

When walking on the boardwalk, be careful not to enjoy the scenery while walking. It should be appreciated during rest.
