Live Your Best Lives
Yulong River is the longest tributary of Li River in Yangshuo, with a total length of about 43.5 kilometers. It is known as the "Little Li River". It is not as good as Li River, but it is better than Li River.
When the weather is fine, the river water is as clear as a mirror. When it rains, the mountains are covered with rain and fog. You can easily take photos that look like landscape paintings.
April to October is the best time to go rafting on the Yulong River, as it is flood season and the climate is suitable. We recommend rafting in the upper half of the Yulong River.

In the mist and rain, take a bamboo raft and drift quietly in the Yulong River, with the scenery on both sides slowly moving backwards. Although Yangshuo in February is quite cold, it can really calm people's hearts. Life is always in a hurry, so why not take some time to be in a daze and think about the future?
Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscape is the best in Guilin. If the Lijiang River is beautiful, then I would like to say that I prefer the small and beautiful Yulong River. Recommended one-day itinerary (free travel): 1. Take a Didi taxi to Fuli Bridge in the morning. Fuli Bridge is an arched bridge from the Ming Dynasty. It is a niche attraction, but it is a vicissitudes of life bridge in the landscape, and it is very artistic to take pictures; 2. Walk 1.9 kilometers from Fuli Bridge to Jinlong Bridge. Jinlong Bridge is the starting point of Yulong River bamboo rafting. The bamboo raft is 255 for two people; 3. Yulong River Jinlong Bridge-Jiuxian Bamboo Rafting, about 1.5 hours; 4. Rent a car in Yulong River Jiuxian, ride to visit Jiuxian-Gongnong Bridge-Shili Gallery, and return the car to Yangshuo Park. Generally, bicycles cost 10-20 yuan/car, and small electric motorcycles cost 50 yuan/car.
You can refer to my travel notes, which have detailed strategies, including the potholes in Fuli Bridge. Safety is the first priority when traveling. I hope everyone has a good time and I hope my suggestions can help you!
There are six docks for rafting on the Yulong River. The most recommended one is the section from Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian. It takes about one and a half to two hours to take two people on a bamboo raft. The scenery along the way is beautiful, with green mountains and clear water on both sides, fresh air, and a relatively gentle water flow, which is very pleasant. You will slide down through 9 small steps, and there will be a lot of splashes around the 5th step, so be careful to lift your feet. During the process, there may be local grilled fish hawking. I heard that the price at the dock is half cheaper than this. I don't know if it is freshly grilled.
This is the highlight of our one-week trip to Guilin. If someone asks me the top 10 most beautiful scenery in the world, I will definitely put Yulong River in it. I felt extremely happy the moment I got on the bamboo raft. The guy who paddled the bamboo raft was very energetic. Along the way, accompanied by the sound of the bamboo raft crossing the water and the birds singing, looking at the scenery that looked like an ink painting, I suddenly felt that life was infinitely beautiful.
The tour guide said that we were going to a part of the Yulong River that was relatively quiet. But be careful that some bamboo raft masters might take you to other places because they want to make some money. If you don’t need it, you should refuse, otherwise you will be ripped off.
But the muddy road on the bamboo raft made me fall down.
Fortunately, the beautiful scenery makes you forget everything
The whole journey of Yulong River takes about 20 minutes
If the essence of Guilin is the Li River, then the essence of Yangshuo is the Yulong River. Considering the climate, it is too cold for rafting on the Yulong River. We decided to rent an electric car and ride along the Yulong River to save time and effort. The premise is that the weather must cooperate and it does not rain. We plan to tour the Yulong River from Gongnong Bridge to Jiuxian or Utopia.
We rode along the Yulong River. There are many people rafting in the summer, but there was almost no rafting when we went there. Personally, I feel that even in the summer, riding along the river is more interesting than rafting on the river.
After riding along the Yulong River for a short distance, you will see rapeseed flowers.
Although it didn't rain today, there was still drizzle from time to time. Clouds floated over the other side of the mountain from time to time. Unlike the common clouds, the clouds in the Yulong River were of different shades, very much like the ink splashing effect in Chinese paintings. Later, when I communicated with local friends in Guilin, I learned that this kind of misty Lijiang River scene is not common. We are very lucky.
When you are here, the ever-changing colors of the clouds rushing by are a feeling that cannot be described in words.
There is no one around, the air is fresh and pleasant, it feels a bit like a paradise, I love this atmosphere so much.
The country roads along the Yulong River are well-maintained, clean and flat.
The scenery along the Yulong River is absolutely intoxicating, although the weather is not as bright as on a sunny day.
The scenery of Yulong River is really unforgettable. Highly recommended.
Don't be cheated by scalpers when you go to Yulong River! We drove there, and because cars cannot drive into the scenic area, we have to take a bus. The scalper asked us to park in the free parking lot next to the scenic area, and then said that we could drive in through the back door and just give him money, and then he took us in, and took us to the small river in the village! ! ! It's almost the same as the ticket price of the scenic spot! ! Don't be cheated! When we were halfway through the swim, law enforcement officers came to catch them, and they left us on the side of the road and walked back by ourselves! ! 😡😡😡😡😡It was a failed experience, and I hope the relevant departments will severely punish them! !

It has been drizzling these days, so I decided to brave the rain and go around the Yulong River. Less than an hour after setting out, I came across a coffee shop called "Chun Shang Cun Shu". It is backed by a steep mountain wall and next to a lush tree. There are bamboo rafts parked by the stone bridge across the river, and there is also a mini water truck. It is very cute. It is very leisurely to listen to the rain and drink coffee.
I saw at least six bridges along the Yulong River, all of which were places with the best views. Going back and forth between the two banks made me completely dizzy as I had no sense of direction (ﾉ∀｀*);
My favorite section of the road is the plank road from Jiuxian Wharf to Jima Wharf. On one side is the Yulong River, and on the other side are distant mountains in the wilderness. Although it is misty, the distant mountains are still pleasing to the eye, as if they are rendered layer by layer like an ink painting.
Yulong River bamboo rafting is a must-do tourist attraction in Yangshuo. Unlike the Li River bamboo rafting, the Yulong River bamboo rafting is manually paddled, which is more original and less noisy. With the sound of gurgling water and the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, it feels like a raft is swimming in the scenery and people are walking in the painting. The mainstream Yulong River rafting is divided into three sections: Jinlong Bridge-Jiuxian, Jiuxian-Chaoyang, Chaoyang-Gongnong Bridge. There are also some short-distance routes, such as the Fuli Bridge, which also has a pier for departure. You can find a travel agent to learn more before going.
The most popular routes are Jiuxian-Chaoyang and Chaoyang-Gongnongqiao. You can go rafting on weekdays, but you must book in advance on holidays. The bus arrived at the pier at 8:30 that day. It is said that at 7 o'clock, Jinlongqiao Pier no longer sells bamboo raft tickets for the day, so you can only take the tickets pre-sold online.
The Yulong River is really worth talking about. We paid for the boat tickets online before the National Day, and were told to pick up the tickets at the ticket office on the same day. As a result, when we arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot on the same day, we saw a large number of tourists gathered in front of the ticket office to negotiate with the staff. We went over to listen and found out that the tickets booked online were completely invalid. They still followed the order of queuing on the same day on a first-come, first-served basis. There were no tickets when we arrived. Many tourists were in the same situation as us. What was even more tragic was that they queued up all morning but still didn't get a ticket. The staff of the scenic spot looked innocent and ignored everyone completely. No person in charge or leader came forward to explain. They just told everyone that they would release some more tickets in the afternoon according to the situation of the bamboo rafts. It means that those who want to drift should line up here. As for when and how many tickets can be released, it is all unknown. I can only say that this scenic spot is really relying on its popularity. It is obvious that everyone is used to this way of handling things, so I remind all bee friends not to come here during holidays. It is not worth it.
What is even more puzzling to us is that when we left the scenic area, many people came to the door and asked if we wanted to take another rafting route. This route happened to be a small section of the highlight section, and the fare was 50 yuan cheaper than the Yulong River highlight section I booked. The rafting time of the highlight section was about 1 and a half hours, while this section was only half an hour, and it was a round trip.
We had no choice but to go to this privately operated route to experience rafting, so that at least our trip wasn't in vain.
The scenery in this section is really too ordinary, and there are so many boats. Our boatman said that if we gave another 60 yuan, he could help us row farther so that we could see the most beautiful scenery in the highlight section. We paid the money, and the most beautiful scenery we saw was the mountain in the distance in the photo below. Yes, it was that far away.
Yulong River is the longest tributary of Li River in Yangshuo, known as "Little Li River". It is not the Li River, but it is better than the Li River. Especially the section from Yulong Bridge to Gongnong Bridge, which is 0.5-2 meters deep, has clear water all year round and flows slowly. The entire Yulong River scenic area has no modern buildings, no traces of artificial carving, and no urban noise. Everything is so primitive, natural, simple and pure. It is actually the largest pure natural landscape garden in Guilin. If the Li River is compared to a "lady of a noble family", then the Yulong River is a "beautiful girl from a small family" that makes people's hearts beat.
Yulong River is a tributary of Li River. It is said that it is better than Li River. We took a man-made bamboo raft. The water was clearer than that of Li River. It was as bright as emerald. The mountains on both sides were beautiful and winding, undulating and varied. The bamboo raft was lush and green, just like a landscape oil painting. The bamboo raft drifted slowly. I finally understood what it meant to swim in a painting! There were also scattered houses on both sides. It was a pleasure to enjoy the mountains, rivers and countryside. This is the so-called paradise!
In this trip to Yangshuo, apart from Sister Liu's beer fish and Master Chef's beer fish, the most satisfying thing was Yulong River
It may be designed for tourist groups. Get off at the Gongnong Bridge Station of Shilihualang and walk a few steps to the destination. There are 8 people on a bamboo raft.
It is a cruise, not a rafting cruise. There is no thrill or excitement and you will not get wet.
But you still have to wear your life jacket.
The journey is not long. Whether it is fun depends on the boatman. Our boatman is very interesting. He taught us how to row the raft. As soon as we rowed off the raft, the boatman shouted: Hey, hey, hey, that is not the pier!
He also taught us to sing folk songs and guided us to look at the mountains in the distance.
Thank him very much for giving us a great time.
It's still very good, but you have to tip the boatman for his introduction.
If you give a tip, they will continue to introduce what the mountains on both sides look like, the boat will go much slower, and you can pose for photos on the boat.
Don't go in January, don't go when it's raining. The water is like the Yellow River, turbid and unclear. The mountains on both sides are still beautiful and continuous, the rafts are swaying, and the fishermen's songs are pleasant. It's too cold, so you need to put on a heat pack and wear a hat.
Lao Gen's house is highly praised on the Internet. You can ask the boatman to take you directly, rent a double bicycle from Lao Gen's house in the afternoon, and ride back to Yangshuo.
The weather was very good that day. Accompanied by the chirping of midsummer cicadas, floating on the Li River on a bamboo raft was in line with my idea of "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world". I think the bamboo rafting on the Yulong River in Guilin is the most worthwhile experience.
"The Yulong River is a world-class natural heritage shared by all mankind." The idyllic scenery on both sides of the Yulong River is pleasing to the eye. Tianping Oasis, couples hugging, Pinghu reflections, Xiatang scenic spot, Shuangliu ancient ferry, dreamy river valley, etc., make people feel as if they have entered a poetic realm of harmony between man and nature, a free world of returning to nature.
Sharing my experience, I didn't take the direct bus to Yangshuo from Longji Terraces, so I had to take the bus to Guilin first. On the way, I called a ride from Guilin Hong Kong Hotel directly to the ticket office of Jinlong Bridge on Yulong River. The guide I made before was 255 yuan for two people, and I also did various comparisons. It was cheaper to buy tickets directly at the ticket window. Then I got on the bamboo raft. The guy who paddled the raft didn't ask for a tip. I considered giving him some once, but I heard that their salary was 12,000 yuan a month. Although they all said it was hard-earned money, I suddenly felt that it was not necessary. I only made 3,000 yuan a month. 🤦♀️🤦♀️. The scenery along the way was still beautiful, 90 minutes. After arriving at the Jiuxian Pier, I rented an electric car to visit the Ten-Li Picture Gallery, returned to Yangshuo County to return the car, and found a hotel.
I went there about 15 years ago. I don't know what it looks like now, but it's beautiful. It took a few hours to sit on the bamboo raft. Then it rained and it was very cold. These are all scanned from film photos.
I have been to Yulong River for no less than ten times, and each time I took different friends to play. I have hiked across the Yulong River and cycled across the Yulong River. It is really suitable for relaxing. I have seen the Yulong River in sunny days, rainstorms, and after floods.
Yulong River is the freshest and quietest rafting spot in Yangshuo and is definitely worth a visit.
It is recommended to start cycling from Xiatangzhai and pass Gongnong Bridge. The scenery is more beautiful than the Ten-Li Picture Gallery.
It’s best not to have the best of both worlds, hahahahahahahaha, but if you like, then...
The bamboo rafting experience on the Yulong River is different, and young people can challenge the exciting gameplay.
Yulong River recommends taking a bamboo raft, which is a man-made bamboo raft where you can quietly feel the nature
The scenery is first-class, the consumption is average, and the overall feeling is good.
A very pleasant journey, worthy of heaven on earth
This internet celebrity check-in spot is worth a visit, and you are welcome to come.
Rafting on the Yulong River, the scenery on the river is very beautiful. It happened to rain that day, the air was very fresh, and the mountain scenery was great.
The boatmen on the Yulong River require tips. If you don't tip, they won't explain the tour to you and will let you end the tour early.
I don’t know if it was because I went there in the wrong season or because the weather was bad, but the water in the Yulong River I saw was all yellow!
I personally think it is more worth visiting than the Li River. If the Li River is a lady from a rich family, then the Yulong River is a beautiful girl from a small family. Go there early, there will be fewer people, the air will be fresh, and the scenery will be beautiful.
When I went to Yangshuo in April, it happened to rain heavily a few days before, and the river water was all yellow. I think Yulong River is a very ordinary scenic spot in the Ten-mile Gallery.
I won't say much about the beautiful scenery, but I would like to remind everyone not to buy the shoe covers sold by the old lady at the entrance (please forgive my seemingly disrespectful wording), because as soon as you enter the scenic area, you will clearly see a sign saying that they are not allowed!
Remind everyone not to be fooled.
If I only have one day, I would choose the Yulong River, take a bamboo raft down the river and then ride back.
Remember to chat with the rowing guys, they like chatting with people. If you can give them a little tip, they will row slower.
Travel along the Yulong River and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangshuo.
The upper part is drifting on the blue waves, as if you are swimming in a painting.
Take a bike ride and walk in the lower section to enjoy the view of the Ten-mile Art Gallery.
The green mountains and caves are strange, and the green fields and wild flowers are beautiful.
It should be a picturesque place, but there are too many people. You can take an artificial bamboo boat to drift along the river, which is quite pleasant.
Overall, it's average. It's a bit interesting to take a bamboo raft. The ticket price is too high. It takes about 40 minutes. The scenery is still mountains and water. It's good for leisure.
Yulong River bamboo rafting is a must-do activity in Yangshuo. It is recommended to go to the upstream Fuli Bridge section, where there are fewer tourists, the upper and lower locations are the same, and the scenery is good. Fuli Bridge is a 600-year-old monument.
We visited the Yulong River in the morning. The weather was foggy. I asked the hotel owner and he said that many people come to Yangshuo in March just to find the feeling of mist and rain.
I recommend the section of the river from Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian County, which has very primitive rafting, which takes one and a half hours and is done by manual rowing.
The turquoise river water, colorful bamboo rafts and the mountains in the distance gave me my first glimpse of the beauty of Yangshuo's mountains and waters. Looking at the number of bamboo rafts, it is not difficult to imagine how booming the "Yulong River Rafting" business is during the peak season. However, I missed the season, and at least my feet would get wet when I got off the boat, so the idea of rafting should remain in my artistic conception.
I hiked along the river for half a day and the scenery was like a dream. For detailed guide, please refer to my travel notes.
The scenery of Yulong River is nice, and it is very relaxing to sit quietly on the bamboo raft
Cycling along the Yulong River is more comfortable than taking a bamboo raft. You can stop and take photos at any time.
If the Li River is a lady from a noble family, then the Yulong River is a beautiful girl from a small family. The scenery is just as good as the Li River, and it is more pleasant. Highly recommended.
There are many dams on the Yulong River, with one every few meters. The ducks on the river will stand on the dams and eat small fish and shrimps flowing down from upstream.
On the Yulong River, rows of bamboo rafts line up to float down from the dam, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
The rafting was from Shuidi'e to Gongnong Bridge. The flood had just receded and the rafting had just been reopened. The water was still yellow. The scenery was OK. It felt quite fresh to raft on the river. I even paddled for a while myself. The scenery should be better if you come here for rafting in spring and winter.
Guilin's landscape is the best in the world. I recommend rafting on the Yulong River, boating on the Li River, and climbing Xianggong Mountain to see the magnificent Guilin landscape. It is a great experience. (The best time to go is in June, when the temperature and crowds are very comfortable)
Just came back from Guilin. Yulong River is a must-see. It is beautiful as a little jade. The people of Guilin are very welcoming. It’s my first time to comment, so I’m a little nervous. Everyone is welcome to like and comment, hehe!
Yulong River rafting is a must-do activity in Yangshuo. It is very beautiful. Finding a good lumberjack is the key.
The rafting in the Yulong River section is contracted by the government and clearly marked. It is divided into several sections. The most downstream is 175 yuan, which can seat 4 people and raft for 25 minutes; the upper section is the most expensive, 320 yuan, which can seat 2 people and raft for 50 minutes; the upper section is 160 yuan, which can seat 2 people and raft for 40 minutes. I took the 160 yuan one, which felt pretty good. It should be noted that rafting is one-way, which will be a problem if you ride an electric bike. There will be villagers at the door who specialize in this business and help people pull electric bikes downstream, but pulling a car is more expensive, so I share a trick, which is to put the car downstream and take the car to the upper reaches! Also, you need to prepare shoe covers for rafting, you can buy them at the door, and you have to bargain.
The scenery is beautiful and the water is clear. The master who paddled the bamboo raft deliberately paddled very slowly and asked us to take pictures at the bow. He taught us how to paddle the bamboo raft and let us experience it ourselves.
I went there in June 2018. There were not many people at that time and the weather was relatively comfortable. It was raining on the day we went to Yangshuo, but the tour guide said that sunny Guilin has its own beauty and rainy Guilin has its own beauty. In fact, Guilin on a rainy day does have a different beauty, especially when we were riding on a bamboo raft on the Yulong River, everyone listened to and sang local folk songs together. It felt great. It is definitely worth a visit and a five-star recommendation!
Before coming to Guilin, I didn’t know about the Yulong River. Sitting on the bamboo raft, I really felt that the boat was on the blue waves and the people were swimming in the painting.
Ink and wash Jiangnan, karst mountains, good rafting, very beautiful 😄
Chinese people have seen it a lot, but foreigners like it very much. Many people are on bamboo rafts.
The road to Shilihualang is in a mess. The scenery is unique and suitable for rafting. The original bamboo raft is much better than the electric motor bamboo raft on the Li River.
Four people share a raft. If you don't have enough people, you can join a raft. If you really can't, you can make up the difference of 31 people. I met three friends on the raft. Because I met three friends, Yangshuo was a four-person trip. It was very fulfilling.
Only in Yulong River can you experience the most primitive artificial rafting tour. There are only electric valves and boats in Li River! Starting from Jinlong Bridge, it takes ten minutes to reach Yulong Bridge, where you can take a short bamboo raft for a round trip of half an hour. However, many of the rivers in this section of bamboo rafts are narrow, and all you can see are yellow, green and red parasols, which is not pleasant enough. I heard that many tour groups’ so-called bamboo raft tours are this section.
The real Yulong River bamboo raft is divided into two sections, the upper and lower sections. We took the upper section from Jinlong Bridge Wharf to Jiuxian. The scenery in this section is more beautiful than the lower section. The whole journey takes one hour and there are nine slope sections. The one and a half hour bamboo raft tour was strongly recognized by my boyfriend, who unanimously agreed that it could be regarded as the top 3 fun rankings of this Guilin trip!
Meeting the Dragon in the River
I had to hurry on my journey that day, so early in the morning, I boarded the first bamboo raft on the Yulong River.
Maybe the boatman saw that I had extraordinary martial arts skills, so my experience was different from what was said on the Internet. I didn't tip the boatman because he didn't ask for it. The boatman also talked to me a lot, and even stopped the bamboo raft at his orchard and invited me to go ashore to eat the oranges he planted. The sky was about to get bright, the water waves seemed to disperse, and the mountain shadows seemed to wake up. Our bamboo raft floated out a long scroll in this ink painting. It is the only Yulong River that never gets boring.
Seeing a dragon in the field, the arrogant dragon will regret it; the flying dragon in the sky, the divine dragon swings its tail, and the dragons fight in the wild. With the help of this natural force, I, on the bamboo raft, finally realized the nineteenth palm of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, which is the most masculine and powerful in the world. I met a dragon in the river, a river with gentle breeze and drizzle, and the harmony of the river and the mountains.
We got up early and took a bamboo raft down the river to get a close look at the beauty of the Yulong River.
Yulong River is the longest tributary of the Li River in Yangshuo County. Watching the raftsmen slowly holding the long poles and moving forward slowly, we were transported into the painting.
The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and winding, with various shapes and shapes on both sides of the Yulong River. The river bank is covered with green grass, lush bamboos and dense trees. The water reflects the shadows of the mountains, which is a graceful and soft painting style. The fields are full of green and vitality, and the poetic and picturesque scenery is fully displayed.
A tourist area comparable to the Li River rafting. In addition to rafting, walking in the original ecological farmland scenery is also excellent.
When I went there, I happened to see rows of bamboo rafts shuttling across the Li River between the rugged mountains. Against the backdrop of the blue sky, it was simply a beautiful picture.
Going rafting on the Yulong River is a relatively mature activity. In summer, it is very pleasant to be cool on the water and enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river.
The scenery is still very beautiful if the sun is shining.
Yulong River is the most beautiful tributary of Li River. The artificial bamboo rafts here can better reflect the beauty of Guilin's landscape compared to the electric plastic rafts of Li River. Sitting on the bamboo raft, the river water is as clear as a mirror, and there are mountains of various shapes on both sides. It really feels like a boat sailing on the blue waves and a person swimming in a painting.
I experienced cycling in Yulong River this time, which can be said to be a highly recommended way of riding. It is free, flexible, and can also exercise the body and lose weight.
The bamboo raft is man-made. From Jinlong Bridge Wharf to Jiuxian. One-way. Yulong River is a tributary of Li River. The scenery is nice, small and beautiful. It is not as grand as Li River.
This is my second time to visit Yulong River. I didn't have enough fun last time. This time we went on a self-driving tour. The six of us rented three electric cars and drove around Yulong River. It was awesome!
Since it was summer vacation, there were not many tourists on the bamboo raft. There were mountains on both sides, water in the middle, and screams. It was a nice scene!
It is said that the landscape of Guilin is the best in Tianshui. Now I want to say that the landscape of Yangshuo is the best in Guilin!
Rafting is a very leisurely choice. When the breeze blows, I feel like I can sit on the bamboo raft for a whole day. I am also very satisfied with the cycling in the scenic area. It is all pastoral scenery. This is what Yangshuo originally looked like.
Just got cheated! Everyone must be careful! The first pit! Wild bamboo raft rafting by soliciting customers!!! Our family of four was told by the solicitor on the roadside that there was no need to queue up, the upper reaches of the Yulong River, 320 yuan including the pick-up and drop-off at the pier and bamboo raft. When we got there, we found out that it was a private wild rafting. The bamboo raft had not been going for 20 minutes, and the logger asked for another 100 yuan before he was willing to move forward. The real Yulong River bamboo raft is 90 minutes! After adding money, it was about 60 minutes. After returning, the driver disappeared, WeChat and phone were all blocked, and there was no way to contact him. The place was remote and there was no car. The bamboo raft logger said he didn’t know the man! It is estimated that they were all colluded! My husband and I took one old and one child, walked along the village road under the scorching sun, and finally walked to the place where we could call Didi to get a taxi back to the pier! The second pit! Never stop the car on the roadside, you will be cheated without negotiation! 80 yuan, you can go if you want! Didi 20 yuan! The scenery in this place is beautiful! But people are too bad!
In order to prevent people from being deceived, I will post this person’s WeChat!!!
!!! There is no safety guarantee for wild bamboo rafting, and the scenery is not as good as the real Yulong River! This is what the Didi driver said! Everyone should still buy tickets through formal channels! ! !
Yulong River is known as the "Little Li River". It is not as good as the Li River, but it is better than the Li River. The whole journey of Yulong River rafting is from Jinlong Bridge to Gongnong Bridge, and it is said that the whole journey takes about 3 hours.
The bamboo rafts on the Yulong River are all two-seater. There are few people in the off-season, so we got on the boat quickly. After paddling for a short distance, the raftsman asked if we needed an explanation. I had made a guide for rafting on the Li River, but I didn't see the tricks, so I agreed happily. The raftsman really slowed down and explained the Menggou Mountain, Frog Mountain, Snail Mountain, Bat Mountain, Wotou Mountain, Lovers Mountain, etc., and we could also take pictures at the bow of the boat.
To get close to Guilin's landscape, you have to start with a bamboo raft. The scenery here is really beautiful. Looking at the clear river water and the towering mountains, you will feel refreshed. Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and the ancients were not wrong.
TIP: You will usually have to tip the boat driver 20 yuan on the Yulong River rafts before he will allow you to go out and take pictures. He will also explain the boat to you and allow you to splash water and take pictures.
There are 9 steps in the Yulong River. It is fun to cross each step, but your shoes will get wet, so it is best to wear sandals, hahahaha
Highlights: Mountains and rivers on both sides of the river, and rural scenery;
Note:
1. It is very popular during the peak season and you need to wait for 2 to 3 hours;
2. A bamboo raft can only accommodate two people. If you buy a ticket yourself, you need to solve the problem of sharing seats;
3. Tips for bamboo rafts are optional;
4. There will be people taking photos along the way, but there will be a charge.
Yulong River is the longest tributary of Li River in Yangshuo, with a total length of 43.5 kilometers and a drainage area of 158.47 square kilometers. It flows through five towns and more than 20 villages in Yangshuo County, including Jinbao, Putao, Baisha, Yangshuo and Gaotian. It is known as the "Little Li River". It is not the Li River, but it is better than the Li River. Especially the 15.36-kilometer water course from Yulong Bridge to Gongnong Bridge, with a width of 38-61 meters and a depth of 0.5-2 meters. The water is clear all year round and the water flows slowly. There are 28 weirs and more than 100 scenic spots. The entire Yulong River scenic area has no so-called modern buildings, no traces of artificial carving, and no urban noise. Everything is so primitive, natural, simple and pure. It is actually the largest pure natural landscape garden in Guilin.
