I am going to take my children rafting in Baotianman, Henan these two days. I checked the weather forecast: cloudy: 18-27 degrees Celsius. Is this weather suitable for rafting?

I just drifted back from Baotianman the other day. This kind of weather doesn't matter, because you need to keep rowing when drifting, so you still don't need to wear too much. But you should prepare three sets of clean clothes (preferably thicker), because you should wear one set when drifting, and go straight to the bath center when you come back. Wear something thicker at this time (it will be cold after taking a shower).

In addition, give some suggestions to the landlord (personal experience):

1 More than 3 scoops are needed, because water will enter the rubber boat during drifting and need to be scooped out constantly.

You need at least two water guns, preferably the one with a long range, because some people (you know) will spray water on you while drifting, and you can fight back with the water guns.

It is better to have more than six people on board when drifting, because there is no one, and the boat is not deep in draft, so it is easier to get into the water and capsize. It's easy to sink when there are many people (I've seen a boat with eight boys). If you want to have fun, you should bring some people who can swim.

Don't worry too much about safety when drifting, because there are life jackets and knee pads. Even if the boat capsizes, as long as you are physically strong, you can basically drift by yourself. There will be many drifters on both sides of the strait. They are all good at swimming and have great strength.

Please ask Baidu to learn rowing skills before you go, because it will be of great use.

The drifting journey may be long, so you should be able to see the drifting situation from the mountain on the way, so please be prepared. If it floats fast, it will take at least three and a half hours. If you want to swim or have any emergency on the road, it will take more than five hours. )

There will be dangerous beaches on the way to drifting. The first dangerous beach is not far from the starting point, and it is not easy to find (because people were rowing at that time, they didn't notice it at all, but it ended when they noticed it), so be prepared. Let me briefly describe the shoal: Take the first shoal as an example, the more thrilling the better. The first shoal is 1 level (written on a big stone), and there will be 2 levels not far away (there are many, each distance is too close to adjust), and there will be 3 levels after half, which is basically a nightmare for most people. If there is a lot of water in the boat, it is directly in the shallows. If you don't understand and scoop water or feel tired, you can ask them for help because there are many rest points on the way. After crossing the dangerous beach, there will be a bay. Don't go in there. Once in, it's hard to get out. You should beat the stone with an oar.

During drifting, there will be a lot of water in the boat (that's for sure), and if it is not cleaned up in time, it will easily sink. So be sure to scoop three spoonfuls of water. Once the water enters, you must keep scooping water. Three people with water scoops will be very tired.

Give the landlord a suggestion on rational allocation of manpower. Take six people as an example. Two people row (a boat is equipped with two paddles, and if you can ask for another paddle, you must fight for it), and three people are responsible for scooping water. The last one, preferably a child, is responsible for observing the channel and reminding everyone of the direction and shoal forecast in time. If there are more than six paddles, several people will row, leaving one person in charge of navigation and others to scoop water. The rower had better sit at one end of the boat.

If the landlord is going to road trip, he can choose to stay in a hotel on the mountain for one night, and then go to Taiqing Valley to play (in Xixia County), where he can buy Zhongjing mushroom sauce, a rolling pin made of stone, various mushrooms and wild vegetables, bracelets and necklaces. Absolutely authentic!

The above is my personal experience and understanding, not that Baotianman is not fun, but that the landlord can play better after reading these. Do not worry about the weather.
