Chinese climbers stuck on Yandang Mountain cliff for overcrowding. The China tourists stuck on a rock climbing trail for almost an hour
There are other peaks in the world that are more crowded than Mount Everest.
A group of tourists ascending Yandang Mountain in eastern China were forced to cling to a rope.
A long a predetermined climbing route for over an hour earlier this week after being stuck halfway up a precipice.
On Chinese social media, pictures of the climbers hanging off the edge while they waited for others to go down went viral.
“This is frightful!” Someone who is frightened of heights, like me, might end up crying up there!
Another person added, “I won’t even go even if I’m offered cash to do this.”
Although all of the climbers were seen wearing helmets, harnesses, and other safety gear, a different commentator questioned what would happen if one of them fell and needed to be rescued.
These were a few of the most overtourism-prone locations for 2023.
Yandang Mountain
Yandang Mountain is 1,150 metres (3,773 feet) high and located in Zhejiang province, roughly 410 kilometres (255 miles) south of Shanghai.
Here’s how to stay out of the throng. The via ferrata’s manager, Wenzhou Dingcheng Sports Development Co., Ltd., stated that it had miscalculated how many people were interested in scaling the peak the next year.
“Customers were blocked and trapped on the hiking route due to our misjudgment of how many customers would come.
The lack of effective traffic controls such as a ticket reservation system, and shortcomings in onsite management,” the firm stated in a statement.
The company also said that it would be implementing a visitor traffic-control system going forward and that it was temporarily suspending ticket sales until it resolved the issue internally.
China observes Labour Day during the first week of May, which may have contributed to the high volume of visitors to the region.
Yandang Mountain, a well-liked vacation spot in China, was nominated in 2001 as a potential UNESCO World Heritage site and is still on the list.
