The Yangtze River Administration of Navigational Affairs Wednesday revoked the night navigation ban at the rive section in Yunyang County, Chongqing Municipality, which has been threatened by a massive landslide since Sunday.

An administration official said the decision was made because they believe the landslide at was not so dangerous at the moment as it had not experienced heavy rainfall.

The Three Gorges reservoir about 300 kilometers downstream maintained the water level at about 160 meters, which helped reduce the erosion of the river bank, the official added.

Nearly 10,000 vessels pass through this section of the river each year - about 300 vessels with 23,000 passengers per day.
