The Chinese Embassy in Georgia issues safety reminders for Chinese citizens participating in activities such as hiking and mountaineering

China News Service, November 10. According to the WeChat official account of the "Chinese Embassy in Georgia", some Chinese tourists recently experienced physical exhaustion, stranded in the mountainous area, or were disconnected for a long time due to poor mobile phone signal while hiking in the Mestia Mountains of Georgia. The Embassy in Georgia reminds Chinese citizens to raise safety awareness and ensure personal safety when participating in high-risk projects such as hiking and mountaineering in Georgia.

1. Mountainous areas such as Mestia and Kazbek have complex terrain, changeable climate, and large temperature differences between day and night. Please choose a professional guide based on your own situation and weather conditions, act according to your ability, and keep communication open with the owner of the B&B where you are staying. Plan your route time in advance to ensure you return to your place of residence before dark, and do not blindly choose unconventional adventure routes. In autumn and winter, temperatures drop sharply, rain and snow occur frequently, and roads are muddy. Avoid going into the mountains during this period.

2. The signal in the mountainous area is poor and the supply of hiking routes is scarce. Please bring enough necessary personal equipment, arrange your itinerary reasonably, and keep emergency contact information such as nearby hotels and police stations to avoid losing contact.

3. The mountainous areas are sparsely populated, have rugged roads, and have uncontrollable risks. Please fully consider your personal safety when going, and avoid over-tightening the hiking schedule or ignoring weather risks.

In case of emergency, please handle it calmly, ensure personal safety, call the police in time and contact the Chinese Embassy in Grenada for assistance.
