Shilongxi Drifting

Shilongxi Drifting

2.8
4.2/5
77 reviews

Known as the "No. 1 Rafting in East China", the rubber boat rafting in Shilongxi, Deshi, is about 4 kilometers long and takes nearly 3 hours. Along the way, there are dense forests, groups of wild animals, clear streams, fast streams, and large drops. There are 69 bends and 88 rapids. Tourists can go down the stream in groups of two or three, paddling in the water, and enjoying the rough waves without any danger. Shilong Creek originates at the foot of Shiniushan Mountain, and merges with the water from six mountain streams of Shiniushan Mountain and Qihe Mountain. It flows westward through Tadou and merges with Taoxian Creek. It is 12 kilometers long. The water here is like flying pearls and splashing jade in the rapids and like the waves in a silver lake in the calm places. It is staggered and soundless. The water is clear and you can see the bottom. The whole stream is set against the backdrop of the primeval forest. The mountains here are winding and undulating, continuous, high and low, with various shapes, overlapping peaks and lush forests. The whole mountain is filled with the breath of primitive forests. There are many kinds of flowers here, competing for beauty. The flower species include chrysanthemums, azaleas, lilies, camellias, orchids, etc. In addition to pheasants, hares, wild boars, etc., there are also precious pangolins, pythons, red muntjacs (commonly known as mountain muntjacs), Sumatran serows (commonly known as goats), and leopards. The trees here include fir, pine, cypress, camphor, maple, as well as precious fragrant wood and redwood. The plants here include the "Ten Merit" and yellow osmanthus that can be used as medicine, as well as the rare national protected plant-Althea spinulosa. Nancheng Taohua Island is 27 kilometers away from Chengguan. There are peach trees, passion fruit, bayberry and other fruit trees planted on the island, as well as century-old camphor trees, welcoming pines, two lovers' trees embracing each other, Bailuzhou, and the religious site Dazhou Palace. Surrounding the island are the remains of Su Shiwan's anti-Yuan war, Diaobingzhai, and Lidingzhai. The ecological environment around Shilong Creek Rafting is well protected, the water is clear, there are towering old trees on both sides of the creek, dense forests on the mountains, and flocks of egrets. It is well-known in Quanzhou, Xiamen and Fuzhou, and many tourists come here for its reputation.

The Shiniu Mountain Scenic Area boasts a very cool temperature in summer. The Daixian Waterfall has a very large flow of water during the rainy season and is well worth seeing. Most importantly, the entire hike is by cable car, making it painless and perfect for family trips.

Great scenery. Lots of walking. Waited for more than an hour for public bus on returned trip.

There are lots of porcelains, it is worthy of being the porcelain capital. There are also hot springs♨️ to soak in, and there is also a Jiuxian Mountain, which freezes in winter. And the reason why I have a special liking for Dehua is that my boyfriend is from Dehua,

Exceeded expectations. It is recommended to play for 7-8 hours. With a ticket, you can use the cable car to reach the main peak without using your feet. You can have a small picnic during the entire cable car process. Eat, take pictures and enjoy the scenery while riding a cow down the mountain. It is like turning a carousel into a large elliptical rotating porcelain cow.

This place is incredibly photogenic, and taking pictures with kids is a non-stop experience! There's a ceramic exhibition area filled with Santa Clauses and various animal-themed pieces—girls really can't stop taking photos! You can buy a 54 yuan coupon for the clay-pulling experience on Meituan, where you can pull the clay yourself. However, my friend told me that the clay doesn't need to be fired, just played with it. Their clay can't hold food, you know! (My friend's advice is just for reference. We fired it ourselves, but I don't know if it worked. I wouldn't put food in it for my kids.) Finally, we visited the art exhibition area and the sales area. I bought some cups I liked as gifts! It takes about an hour to explore with kids, but if you're doing crafts, you can go a little slower.

[Value for money] Excellent, I'd definitely go back. [Fun] It was a lot of fun, and both kids and adults had a blast. We got stuck on rocks a few times, but it was such a great feeling when our family worked together to finally get through. Even strangers had a water fight and had a blast! There was a shallow section where many people stopped to pour water and then just sat in the stream to rest. It was so refreshing! [Scenery] Green mountains lined the road on both sides, and I looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. The stream water was clear and sweet. Why do I know it's sweet? Because when I went through the rapids, I screamed with excitement and swallowed several gulps of water. 🤣
