    Qingyuan.Gulong Canyon
    >100km from Leiyang
    Highlights: Gulong Gorge Rafting is a thrilling natural river drift located in Qingxin District, Qingyuan City. It features a natural and primitive landscape with steep riverbeds, towering cliffs, and numerous waterfalls on both sides of the river. It is known for its wild and masculine beauty, characterized by its roaring rapids and breathtaking scenery.Gulong Gorge Rafting has hosted several international drifting competitions and is designated as a drifting racecourse by the General Administration of Sport of China. The racecourse is 6,063 meters long with a drop of 378 meters and can reach speeds of up to 72 kilometers per hour. It is divided into two sections, the "Race Track" and the "Extreme Race Track," making it the longest, steepest, and fastest drifting project in Guangdong Province. In 2019, it successfully achieved two world records for the longest natural water racecourse and the largest drop in a natural water racecourse.Known as the "roller coaster on the waves," Gulong Gorge Rafting is considered the most thrilling drifting experience in Guangdong. The average slope of the racecourse is 9.5%, surpassing the average slope of 7.5% in the world's largest canyon, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. The most heart-pounding experience is the "Dragon Looking Back" section, which features a 180-degree turn resembling the majestic U-shaped bend of the Yarlung Zangbo River. With towering cliffs on both sides, it creates a formidable and breathtaking sight. The high-speed kayaks glide like roller coasters between the peaks and valleys of the waves. Just when the adrenaline is rushing, they suddenly come to a stop and smoothly enter a clear water pool, bringing a moment of tranquility after the excitement.Due to its deep and steep canyon, towering cliffs, dense forests, ancient trees, and intertwining vines, the river of Gulong Gorge Rafting is surrounded by a "forest tunnel." The primitive jungle blocks out the sunlight, making it difficult to see the sun throughout the year, and the highest temperature is only 22°C. Compared to other drifting experiences that expose participants to the scorching sun in summer, Gulong Gorge Rafting is known as the only drifting experience in Guangdong where you don't need to apply sunscreen. The main water source of the drifting river comes from the Gulong Cave in the canyon, where multiple layers of sandstone shale are distributed, and multiple springs converge with a thunderous sound, providing clear and refreshing water. This has given rise to the legend of the "Gulong Mingquan" (Dragon Roaring Spring).Qingyuan is known as the hometown of drifting in China, and Gulong Gorge Rafting is regarded as the epitome of drifting in Qingyuan. The drifting river of Gulong Gorge Rafting has been meticulously designed by international drifting experts according to racecourse standards. It was one of the first standardized racecourses certified by the Provincial Bureau of Technical Supervision, and its safety has been certified by authoritative institutions such as the China Classification Society and the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau.With its wild drops, intense rhythm, pristine ecology, and high-quality water source, Gulong Gorge Rafting has set a new standard for drifting in China and is widely recognized as the most thrilling and enjoyable drifting experience in the country.In 2019, the newly upgraded Gulong Gorge Rafting incorporated an Amazon tribal scene and various adventure experiences such as Monkey Island, Crocodile Pond, and Dinosaur Valley, making it a themed drifting project.

    "160 yuan per person, including the cost of the shuttle bus. (Need to buy online one hour in advance. If you buy on the spot, it is 198 yuan per person), locals have other discounts. The rafting time is about 50 minutes, and no photos are allowed in the middle, because it is not safe to drift. Only in several of the platform segments can take pictures. Several parts of the location are better, and there are photographers who take pictures. After the game, you can choose on the right side of the ticket office. It is ten yuan per piece. Voluntary purchase is not mandatory. The rafting feels very exciting. During the rafting process, the clothes will be all soaked, so please remember to bring your own clothes. There is free ginger tea and shower, but there is no toiletries, you need to bring your own. Pure natural and non-artificial, and the feeling of the amusement park is different, it is recommended to try."

    "20230314 In the afternoon: 1. "Xingping Wharf" is located on the banks of the "Lijiang River" in the 5A scenic spot. The Lijiang River is a landmark landscape scenic spot in Guilin. The essence of Guilin's landscape is the shooting location of famous movies and TV dramas such as the 1999 edition of 20 yuan background and "Liu Sanjie". Its "Baili Gallery"-like karst landscape is the world's natural cultural heritage, and it is a must-check scenic spot for Guilin tourism. History has left the footprints of celebrities such as Sun Yat-sen, Ye Jianying, Xu Beihong, Clinton and his wife Hillary. The Lijiang River belongs to the Pearl River water system. The 100-kilometer area has been developed from the north to Guilin City near the Jiefang Bridge, south to Yangshuo County, and another section at the junction of Lingqu and Xiangjiang River at the north end, accounting for nearly half of the total length of the Lijiang River. ① Address: Xingping Ancient Town, Yangshuo County, Guilin City. ② Transportation: Direct bus access, easy to stop by car. ③ peak season: no. ④ Duration: 5 hours. 2. The Lijiang section from Guilin Cruise Terminal to Yangshuo is about 60 kilometers long, one-way 4.5 hours, one-way no round-trip, so you have to take a bus from Yangshuo back to Guilin, or if you are free to travel, you will use the Lijiang River as the last stop in Guilin City. After Yangshuo is over, go directly north to other counties and cities. There are two departure piers: "Mopanshan Pier" (three-star cruise ship) and "Zhujiang Pier" (four-star cruise ship). Since Guilin has not rained for 5 months, the Lijiang River has been cut off into several big lakes, so this time I could not take a cruise to visit the Lijiang River. I could only find a day trip product on Trip.com to take a bus to the "Xingping Wharf" near the "Xingping Wharf" in Xingping Ancient Town. After a circle, return to Xingping Pier and then take the bus back to Guilin. 3, 6, soon to 20 yuan background photo place, but unfortunately the cruise ship parked in the West Bank, the correct docking position, the photo point of the year should be the East Bank, so the effect of the shooting is somewhat different from the RMB background, because it is a public cruise ship can not change. When the cruise ship docks here, tourists can board the cruise ship roof to shoot, sometimes other cruise ships will block, so it is a test of luck. The river here is crystal clear, and there are long-length phoenix bamboos planted. It is said that when Premier Zhou visited the Lijiang River in 1965, he thought that there were some monotonous proposals to plant on the shore. In addition, the grandfather on the RMB bamboo raft and Liu Sanjie played Huang Wanqiu died a short time ago, some regret. 4. The bamboo raft pier is opposite the background photo of 20 yuan, driving towards the north side of Xingping Wharf, and many handsome men and women on the east bank take pictures and wedding photos on the bamboo raft, becoming a beautiful scenery."
