Qingyuan Gulong Gorge Rapids Guide: A Must-Do Summer Adventure for Explorers

Beat the summer heat! Qingyuan Gulong Gorge is renowned as the "Number One Rapids in South China," featuring a thrilling 5.2-kilometer-long river course with a drop of 236 meters. It offers both exhilarating waves and stunning canyon views. Here's a guide to help you enjoy the experience to the fullest: 1. Preparation Beforehand Bring a waterproof phone pouch, quick-dry clothing, and non-slip rubber shoes (equipment can be rented on-site). Nearsighted individuals should wear contact lenses to avoid losing glasses during the ride. Lockers are available at the site; avoid bringing valuables onto the raft. 2. Rafting Tips Teamwork is key for two-person inflatable rafts. During rapids, hold onto the handles tightly and lean slightly backward. In calmer sections, engage in water fights for added fun—buying a water gun in advance is recommended. The entire journey takes about 1.5 hours, with safety personnel monitoring along the way. 3. Safety Guidelines Children under 1.2 meters tall, pregnant women, and individuals with cardiovascular conditions should not participate. Follow the instructor's directions and avoid disembarking in dangerous areas. After rafting, you can use the hot shower facilities in the changing rooms (bring your own towel). 4. Nearby Attractions After the adventure, challenge yourself on the canyon glass bridge or savor local delicacies like Qingyuan chicken and Beijiang river fish. Self-driving visitors can also explore the Lianzhou Underground River to marvel at karst landscapes. To avoid crowds, opt for a morning session and skip weekends. Combining thrilling rapids with breathtaking scenery, this is the ultimate refreshing summer experience!
