Characteristics of antique stone road

This kind of pavement was mainly built in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Gu Xiang Road is the main road, paved with green stone slabs of different sizes. Due to the age, there are many people walking, and the road surface of this bluestone road has become very flat. In case of rain and snow, it is easy to have accidents, from falls and sprains to serious fractures.

When going up the mountain after rain, you should not only wear non-slip shoes, but also relax. When walking, the center of gravity should not be too forward, and the direction of the center of gravity should be perpendicular to the slate on the ground. Try to use trekking poles. When carrying a big bag, the center of gravity of the bag should be lower in the middle, and try to hold the rock wall or trees with your hands. When going down the mountain, you must use a trekking stick and lean forward slightly. Try to step on the cracks in the slate, or on the grass beside the road. Keep a little distance between them to avoid shoveling several times after one person falls. It is best to use four-toothed crampons after snow. If you don't use crampons, your feet must fall on the roots or vegetation on the roadside, and trekking poles are essential.
