Three rope ladder emergency escape routes were set up on Monday in mudslide-hit Gyirong County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.

The routes are being used to safeguard crews working to reopen a section of the G216 national highway leading to Gyirong Port, which was damaged by a mudslide along the China-Nepal border.

The rope ladders, with a combined length of about 180 meters, connect to safe zones. In the event of a sudden rise in river levels or a mudslide, crews can use the ladders to quickly evacuate to safety.
