Reasons to visit
Yulong River is a long 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. The mountains on both sides of the Yulong River are beautiful and winding, rolling and in various shapes. The river bank is covered with green grass, lush bamboo and shady trees. 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. If the Li River is compared to a "lady of a noble family", then the Yulong River is a "small jade" that makes people's heart beat. There are three ways to visit the Yulong River: walking, cycling, and rafting on the Yulong River (a total of 15.36 kilometers). Most tourists who come to the Yulong River come for rafting. It is very enjoyable to take a bamboo raft on the Yulong River and enjoy the picturesque scenery on both sides. There are 5 docks in the Yulong River, starting from the upstream, they are Jinlong Bridge, Jiuxian, Xiatangzhai, Chaoyang, and Gongnong Bridge. You can raft from Jinlong Bridge to Gongnong Bridge, or you can raft in sections. The main sections currently opened are: Jinlong Bridge-Jiuxian, Xiatangzhai-Jiuxian, Jinlong Bridge-Gongnong Bridge, Chaoyang-Gongnong Bridge. The rafting time varies depending on the amount of water in the Yulong River.
Opening Hours
- 8:00-18:00 (usually you can arrange the time with the raft operator you booked, as the raft operator will not go out after dark)
