Hangzhou's Ultimate Summer Getaway!

Just a 1.5-hour drive from downtown Hangzhou, there's a hidden gem where you can enjoy both "cliffside glass rafting" and "canyon rafting" in one place! The Lin'an Sandu Longjing Gorge Rafting has completely redefined my expectations for summer water activities 💦

📍Travel Guide:
▫️Address: Longjing Village, Longgang Town, Lin'an, Zhexi Dalongwan Scenic Area
▫️Operating Hours: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM (Entry closes after 3:00 PM)
▫️Parking Fee: $10 per session

🎢 Double Thrill Experiences:

1. Cliffside Glass Rafting
A 6-minute high-altitude descent! Glide through lush greenery, feeling the centrifugal force at every turn. With blue skies, white clouds, and layers of green mountains in the distance, it's both thrilling and Instagram-worthy 📸

2. Longjing Gorge Rafting
Challenge 7 steep dams in succession! The largest drop is 6 meters, and dams 1, 2, and 5 will have you screaming! In the calmer sections, you can enjoy water fights with friends or your partner. The entire 1.5-hour experience guarantees a refreshing soak!

⚠️ Must-Read Tips:
▪️Gear: Bring an extra set of dry clothes, slippers, and a waterproof phone pouch (available for purchase on-site).
▪️Essentials: Water scoops or water guns (a must for water fights, perfect for the calmer sections).
▪️Facilities: Hot showers are available at the endpoint for a comfortable rinse after rafting.
▪️Energy: There's a small shop midway; consider bringing energy bars for a quick recharge.
▪️Protection: Wear long-sleeve quick-dry clothing for sun protection and apply mosquito repellent to avoid bites.

Even on my second visit, it was just as exhilarating! The entire route is shaded by greenery, keeping you cool, and the water is so clear you can see fish swimming. For those in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, this refreshing summer paradise is a must-visit. Just go for it!
