🌪️ Mangshan Grand Canyon Rafting: The Most Thrilling Waterway in South China

As one of the "top-tier rafting experiences in China," the Mangshan Grand Canyon Rafting spans 9.8 kilometers with a vertical drop of 198 meters. Its 108 twists and turns connect the red sandstone cliffs and lush forests like a silver chain. Hop on an inflatable raft and feel the adrenaline rush as you spin 360° through the "Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns" river course one moment, and plunge down a 5-meter vertical drop at the "Flying Waterfall" the next. With splashes hitting you head-on, screams and water sounds echoing through the mountains, your adrenaline will be off the charts!
Tips: The riverbanks are shaded by lush greenery, so you won't get sunburned even at noon. The site is equipped with professional lifeguards to ensure safety throughout. Hot showers are available at the endpoint, so don't forget to bring a change of clothes and a waterproof phone pouch.

🏡 Yunyin Mountain Residence: A Hidden Retreat in a Bamboo Sea

After rafting, it's just a 3-minute walk to Yunyin Mountain Residence. The rooms feature mountain-view balconies, wooden furniture, and cotton-linen bedding, allowing you to fall asleep to the sound of the stream at night. The owner, a local villager, serves homegrown highland vegetables and a signature bamboo-tube rice dish. The breakfast of dried bamboo shoot and shredded pork noodles is so delicious it might just blow your mind!
