The shallow rocky waterways of Wulong Valley and Feiquan Gorge are the most popular spots for wading. Non-slip closed-toe footwear is strongly recommended. Avoid stream trekking entirely after heavy rainfall; flash floods can rise rapidly without warning. Real-time trail closure notices are published via official scenic-area website.
