FAQ 2012/08/06 View:1902

As we all know, mountains in ZJJ are famous for their magnificence and steepness. Looking upwardly from the foot, one may suddenly feel that the layer upon layer of mountains go nonstop to the sky, like climbing stairs. As a result, while climbing mountains and enjoying fascinating scenes to the fullest, you might as well do not forget to take great care along the way, especially kids and the old. Here are some tips for climbers:

1, Avoid wearing leather shoes, new shoes, high-heeled shoes and sandals. (Not suitable for long walk, rugged and slippery road, easy to blister and hurt your foot skin) Instead, light sneakers, hiking shoes and cloth shoes are better choices.

2, For middle-aged and aged people, a walking stick is helpful

3, Bring enough clothes, though it’s hot at the foot of the mountain sometimes, considering the temperature differences and strong wind on the top, a coat or a thin sweater is still necessary. Rain gear is also essential because of alternate rain and sunshine in southern mountain areas.

4, In order to protect yourself from blistering, a pair of thick shocks is needed

5, Prepare some traumatic like band-aid, gentian violet and so on (when it comes to the infected seasons of snakes, usually around May to October, corresponding medicines should be carried with you just in case, safety first.
