The fun of canyoning is built on solid safety management. Your guides demonstrate everything before each activity — this page collects our three safety infographics so you can arrive prepared. Always follow your guide's on-site instructions. (Graphics are in Chinese; key points are summarized in English below each one.)
1. Gear & What to Wear
We provide the helmet, life vest, canyoning harness, canyoning shoes, and full wetsuit. You only need to wear fitted, quick-dry clothing that can get wet. Three things to avoid: cotton (heavy and cold when soaked), jeans, and loose flowing garments that can snag on rock or gear.
Two key pieces of equipment on rappelling routes: the figure-8 descender, a metal device that controls your descent speed through rope friction, and the lanyard, which keeps you clipped to an anchor at waiting zones — stay connected until your guide says otherwise.
2. Five Rules of Waterfall Rappelling
- Stay away from cliff edges until you're connected — wait in the designated safety zone.
- Clip your lanyard at exposed areas and anchors when instructed, and stay clipped.
- Feet shoulder-width on the rock, hips back; your brake hand never leaves the rope.
- Hand signals and whistle codes are agreed before the trip — waterfalls are loud.
- Single- or double-rope systems are the guide's call — participants never switch systems themselves.
3. Natural Rock Slides, Done Right
Slide only after your guide confirms the chute and water conditions, go on signal, one at a time. Three things to remember: arms crossed over your chest, legs together, toes up. Four don'ts: don't spread your arms, don't grab the rock walls, don't stand up mid-slide, don't slide in pairs. Once you're in the pool, move away from the landing zone promptly for the next person.
One read-through is enough — guides demonstrate at every feature and adjust for the day's water conditions. Compare our routes in the beginner's guide, or check availability and book.
