Surreal scenes in the Chinese province of Guizhou, where a rafting excursion has turned into an open -air nightmare for hundreds of tourists. It happened near Guiyang, in one of the most popular river canyons in the region: here, the exceptional flow of visitors paralyzed the descents, completely congestion the path.
The images, which have become viral on Chinese social networks, show a carpet of colored inflatable inflatable inflatable boats one above the other between the walls of the throat, with the immobile participants and without the possibility of maneuver. The situation, apparently escaped from hand to management of the site, was caused by a sudden overcrowding: a number of presences well beyond the ability of the system, thanks to the high tourist season and the growing popularity of the rafting between the summer activities.
According to local media, there are no injuries, but the discomfort and frustration of the participants raised questions about the safety and organization of these excursions. At the moment they are not official suspensions, but the episode has turned on the spotlight on the need for better control of flows and more effective coordination in the event of an emergency.
