The best way to experience the Gulongshan gorges is to take the rafting.
This is by no means white-water rafting, more like green-water drifting to be exact. The point is more for relaxing than adrenaline-pumping.
Now it鈥檚 kinda the dry season at this area so the water is not so deep. But during the summer time, it鈥檚 gonna be more exciting!
the fresh air, rich forestation, and green water seem to have the magical power of soothing and relaxing, I doubt anyone could stay stressed in this dreamlike setting.
You may have been to many rafting before, but this one, will go through three underground rivers. So put on your safety hat.
The first and second caves don鈥檛 have any lighting. So a flashlight is essential if you don鈥檛 want to bump into the bizarre-shaped lime stones, or some unknown creatures, you never know.
The different segment of the floating is of different character. After the first under ground cave, the stream picks up a little steam and gets more passionate.
You will constantly be surprised at the incredible views in the valley. A Huge waterfall might just come down upon you at the next turn.
The Gulongshan gorges run about six kilometers and consist of three gorges and three caves. It takes about two and half hours to finish the whole rafting.
The third cave is the largest and the most beautiful one among the three underground caves in Gulongshan gorge rafting.
The rafting journey is definitely a winner, for two and half hours, you switch between day and night and different moods of serenity, excitement, and adventure constantly.
