Accessibility

Foyingxia offers a thrilling whitewater rafting experience, but accessibility for visitors with mobility challenges or other disabilities may be limited due to the natural terrain and infrastructure.

The hike through the valley involves navigating winding roads and crossing multiple suspension bridges, which may pose challenges for those with mobility impairments or who use wheelchairs.

These bridges and paths are not explicitly designed for universal accessibility, so visitors should anticipate uneven surfaces and potential obstacles.
