This competition is the first international rafting event held in the region. The panel of judges of the Competition Committee consists of multiple international referee teams recognized by the International Rafting Federation[YA1] . To ensure the quality and high level of this event, the Competition Committee regulated the main river channels and constructed the wharf for the main stages of the competition. The unique human landscape resources including snow mountains, azaleas, peach blossoms, ancient bridges, and ancient villages were perfectly combined with the Basum Tso Lake and the water body resources of Baqu River, creating a beautiful competition environment that could fully show rafting skills for the rafters. More than 30 domestic and foreign teams and 120 athletes were invited to participate in the competition.
