During the rainy season of the Plum Rain in Zhejiang, there are 5 major precautions to take when going to Anji for water rafting

The Plum Rain season has arrived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it's the perfect time for water activities in the summer. Friends who are going to Zhejiang for water rafting are concerned about these issues. Taking Anji as an example, let's list the precautions that need to be taken during the Plum Rain season for water activities. It is beneficial to make emergency preparations in advance to provide contingency plans for the itinerary. This can greatly improve the experience, comfort, and safety. Firstly, you need to know that summer water activities in Anji mainly include: rafting (canyon rafting, river rafting), water sports camps, glass slides, water world water parks, and natural outdoor water areas (stream tracing, waterfalls), etc. Pay attention to the 24-hour weather forecast in Anji before you go, recommend Moji Weather, and follow the official announcements of the destination scenic spots to avoid running into closures due to the rainy season. The more thrilling the canyon rafting scenic spot is, the more special the probability and amount of rainfall are. 1) Is the scenic spot still open for business? ① If there has been continuous rainfall, the surface water flow in the mountains is large, and all upstream reservoirs of the rafting scenic spots, due to limited water storage capacity, must increase the water discharge to ensure the safety of the facilities and equipment of the scenic spots, so they will be temporarily closed. It is difficult to control the timing of stopping and resuming rafting; it may stop in the morning and resume in the afternoon; or it may resume and then rain again. ② Water sports camps and glass slides are relatively unaffected. For example, Xingchao Camp, which has five major water-friendly projects including the Bamboo Tip Rafting (air glass slide) built in the air, half of which is in the bamboo sea, so even if the rainfall is heavy, it will not suddenly increase the water volume of the slide. The other four items (Water Adventure Island, Floating Water Challenge Platform, Paddleboard, Kayak) are all floating on the water surface, so the water rises with the boat, not affecting the experience and safety. Xingchao Camp has rarely been closed due to typhoon impact over the years, and is almost always open during the summer of other years. ③ Water worlds and water parks are generally not affected unless the rainfall is particularly heavy and high-altitude water facilities are closed. ④ It is not recommended to play in natural outdoor water areas. In the wilderness, safety is not guaranteed, and there are risks of flash floods and mudslides in unknown mountain areas. 2) Is the water quality good on rainy days (rainy season/after rain)? ① River rafting scenic spots are relatively good because they maintain a flowing state. Canyon rafting scenic spots are affected by short-term heavy rainfall, and the water from the upstream reservoir rushes down, making the water quality throughout the course muddy and carrying silt, so the water quality is poor. Family groups or female tourists during special periods should choose carefully. If you must go, wear swimming goggles. ② The water used for glass slides is mostly artificially extracted. The Bamboo Tip Rafting at Xingchao Camp is extracted from the upper layer of the reservoir. The Shizishan Reservoir is deep, so no matter the amount of rainfall, the water can quickly return to clarity after instantaneous sedimentation in the reservoir, and the extracted water is used for rafting, making it the best water quality among many scenic spots during the rainy season. Of course, when tourists experience other water amusement projects at Xingchao Camp and fall into the water, the water quality from 2 meters underwater to the surface is good. ③ Water parks and water worlds usually recycle and filter the pool water, adding disinfectants for sterilization and sedimentation. Perhaps with the dilution of natural precipitation, the water quality may be even better. ④ The water quality in natural outdoor water areas is poor, and it is not recommended
