Date of last update: 2020-06-08 17:23After heavy rains, the Observatory issued a black rainstorm warning on Saturday. However, some mountain friends are still raining and hiking, and they go outings in the wild, and some take advantage of the large streams and adventures. Mountain art coach Wu Nianyang suggested that avoiding hiking within two days after a rainstorm would be dangerous even if the rain stopped. "Basically, every stream becomes a big river, and where there is no water, it becomes water."
The Observatory issued a black rainstorm warning in the early hours of Saturday, and a red rainstorm warning also hung on Sunday. Despite the heavy rains, some mountain friends shared photos of the two days of hiking on the Internet. Some people saw that they were going to the stream for large currents and fun. Some people were walking on the mountain trail but wading through the rapids. Take photos in the water of Bride’s Pool.

Wu Nianyang, chairman of the Mountain Art Committee of the Hong Kong Mountaineering and Climbing Association of Hong Kong, China, reminded that it is not advisable to go through the stream two days after the rainstorm. He said: "Not only is it the moment of rain, even if you see a rain stop, it may be dangerous. The rain has infiltrated. The soil, when it is saturated, may rush out. After the heavy rain, basically every stream becomes a big river, and where there is no water usually becomes water. (When can you consider hiking?) At least every two days It is more robust, and it is safer to choose some obvious routes, such as roads."

Many mountain trails pass by streams, and can be easily stepped on by stones without wet feet in good weather. However, after heavy rain, the water flow rises sharply, and may even become rapids, flooding the road surface. Wu Nianyang said: "In places where there was no water, there may be turbulent rapids. The river stream that was originally obtained may have a water depth of knees. If it passes the stream, it will be very dangerous."
He continued to suggest: "Without any equipment, it is recommended to go back and not to go through the water. For example, if you are just a runner, those who run up the mountain, without the relevant equipment, you should not take the risk." He also added that after the rain The mountain road is slippery and easy to slip.

In addition to flooding, after heavy rain, the mountain road may be submerged by sand and mud. Wu Nyangyang said that if the road is blocked by mud, the ideal is to look back. "There have been accidents in the past. Some hikers wanted to cross some of the landslides, but they eventually lost their feet. Stepping on the loose mud, you don't know what you are under There is some loose sand and mud. It may be so loose that even if someone steps on it, people will fall into the mountains with sand and stones."
After the black rain, the landslide of MacLehose Trail is unremarkable, and the white stream is suddenly changed.

Wu Nyangyang reminded that two days after the rainstorm, the route should also be chosen carefully. He said: "It's better to walk on the concrete roads and roads first, walk on the Chengmen Reservoir, Caoshan, etc. But walking on the road is dangerous. You may not be able to pass through the river or the landslides. It is very dangerous to walk in the mountains. . Don’t talk about those remote and unpopular places, let’s talk about the Beitan Suburb Trail outside Beitan Chung Yi Ting Camp. Whenever it rains, the water is like a waterfall and the simple road will become rapid.”

Seeing that many mountain friends continue to take risks after heavy rains, Wu Nanyang sighed: "Be careful, rain is not a risk. We are just ordinary hikers. If you want to travel, just leave it once. After heavy rain, you will not go to some dangerous places or places that may be flooded. If you bring a course, you will avoid it even more, and you should not take risks if you bring students." He added that In heavy rain, you should find a way to retreat as soon as possible and leave on an obvious mountain road.
