I have never been to the Ayi River before, so the impression it left on me is that it is a very exciting place. However, it is not like that. The Ayi River not only has rafting, but the natural scenery is also quite beautiful, and there are also some thrilling projects. Follow my camera to show you the beauty of the Ayi River. Park the car in the parking lot and walk for about 5 minutes to reach the tourist center of Ayi River. The road from the gate to the tourist center is made up of some antique buildings, and the photos are quite good.

The ticket I purchased is the Ayi River ticket (Qinglong Cave, Qinglong Valley, sightseeing elevator round-trip, and bamboo raft). Recently, the scenic area is offering a discount promotion. Purchasing tickets from the scenic area's WeChat platform can enjoy a 50% discount on tickets and an 20% discount on projects. After purchasing the ticket, there is a staircase next to the tourist hall. Go downstairs to enter the ticket checkpoint and then enter the scenic area.

The first thing you see is the famous' Love Letter Gallery '. Ayi River "Love Letter Corridor" is the world's first love letter corridor, engraved with 108 love letters from all over the world.

The entire corridor is adorned with red prayer ribbons, featuring love letter display boards, folk weddings, and bronze statues of Miao sisters and brothers. Walking along the corridor, a romantic atmosphere fills the air. When lovers come here, they must hang a love letter or tie a prayer ribbon to leave romantic and beautiful memories.

There are also sculptures with local characteristics inside, introducing the local customs and cultural habits.

Continuing forward, you will arrive at a cable-stayed bridge. This bridge is the Qinglong Bridge!

Pulling two steel cables between the cliffs and then attaching wooden boards to form a cable-stayed bridge, it looks very exciting. Due to the relatively timid nature of our peers, we dare not experience this high-altitude project. But thinking about it, walking on it is always heart wrenching.

Next to the Suoqiao Bridge is the sightseeing elevator of Ayi River. He has a domineering name - "Qinglong Sky Ladder". Built along the cliff, the "Qinglong Sky Ladder" has a building height of over 180 meters and a running height of 148.8 meters, making it currently the tallest outdoor sightseeing elevator in the Asian Canyon scenic area. Sitting in the elevator, the scenery of Ayi River Canyon can be seen in full view.

Coming out of the Qinglong Heavenly Ladder, we arrived at Qinglong Valley.

Standing by the guardrail and looking down, the emerald green water is called 'Qinglongtan'. The stream flows out from the narrow valleys, making "Qinglongtan" and "Qinglonggu" even more mysterious. In the green water that cannot be seen clearly, it seems like a sleeping giant dragon, ready to roam the world at any time.

There is a plank road next to the large stone monument in Qinglong Valley. Always delaying the application. It looks very thrilling and exciting. When the sunlight shines down from the top, the beam of light is like a sharp sword, very beautiful. Qinglong Valley is truly worthy of being called China's Three Wonders Canyon.

Of course, the more rugged the place, the better it is for taking photos. Standing on the open space between the canyons, with a concave shape, the shots taken in minutes are all big shots.

At the end of the wharf, you will see a pavilion. This pavilion really looks like a place where experts from outside the world live in seclusion. Walk back from the pier and you will come to the trail.

The temperature in Qinglong Valley is also particularly comfortable. On that day, the temperature outside Qinglong Valley was in its thirties, while inside the canyon it was particularly cool, only around 20 degrees.

In the mountains, you can also see this kind of landscape. The mountain spring water flows down from between the rocks, forming a mist that looks like a beautiful landscape painting, making you addicted to it.

Ayi River is definitely a great place to relax! Invite three to five friends to stroll together in this canyon!

After visiting Qinglong Valley, we went downstream and arrived at Zhuban Bridge. The place where the Ayi River and the Mother and Child Creek meet is named after a bamboo bridge that crosses the river in ancient times. Zhubanqiao has retained the traditional papermaking technology for more than 300 years, inheriting Cai Lun's papermaking technology, and demonstrating the original charm of one of the "the Four Great Inventions" in ancient China.

As I walked, a beautiful song came into my ears. Following the singing, we arrived at Qilitang. Put on your life jacket, line up one by one, and then start riding the bamboo raft.

The feeling of the canyon here is different from that of Qinglong Valley. I suggest that when you come to play in Ayi River, you must come and experience bamboo rafts, not only to better appreciate the scenery, but also to appreciate the beautiful singing voice of "Ah Mei" and "Ah Ge" up close.

When entering the canyon, Miao "A-Mei" introduced us to the scenery on both sides of the canyon, and even told us that if we were lucky, we could see monkeys shuttling through the mountains. There is also a magical flower in the mountains - the "other shore flower". Unfortunately, the camera cannot show the beauty of this flower.

On the return trip, we started the most interesting part together with Miao "A-Mei", singing duets! Amidst the laughter and joy, I felt that time passed quickly, and even after reaching the shore, I was still unsatisfied.

If you don't sing mountain songs, you won't be happy. Jiao Ayi Mo Er can't turn around without pushing

Don't advise me to drink, okay? I won't get drunk, Jiao Ayi

Ayi River also has a very famous project, which is drifting. It's really a pity that the temperature was too low at that time, so we couldn't experience this exciting project.

After walking about three kilometers from Qilitang, you will arrive at the Miao style water village - Niujiaozhai, surrounded by water on three sides and facing the mountain on one side. It is named after the exquisite cow horn pattern on the rock wall.

Niujiaozhai is designed in the style of typical Miao residential houses, with winding corridors leading to secluded paths and unique caves. You can stay, eat, and have a bonfire party in the evening.

. The total length of the circular road is 1.5 kilometers, and the chemical sedimentary forms inside the cave are extremely rich. Landscapes such as stalactites, stone flowers, stalagmites, stone curtains, stone flags, and edge stone dams are densely distributed and numerous, ranking first among caves in China. The Dragon Scale Stone Waterfall, Chang'e Colorful Tent, Five Colored Yao Pool, and Dongtian Flying Waterfall are particularly rare and are known as the "Underground Geological Museum".

The cave illuminated by the light is really beautiful. I can't help but admire the amazing craftsmanship of nature.

After visiting Qinglong Cave, we started our return journey. We have chosen to return by the original route, or we can choose to continue taking the sightseeing bus to the exit of the scenic area in Qinglong Cave (the ticket price from Niujiaozhai to Qinglong Cave to the exit of the scenic area is 50 yuan/person). This section of the river from Niujiaozhai to the exit of the scenic area is also the most exciting part of summer rafting. Looking forward to another Ayi River rafting trip next summer~

If you don't play drifting in the entire Ayi River scenic area, it's still relatively easy, and there are also many places to take photos and check in, with beautiful scenery. Try to wear casual and loose clothes, as well as lightweight shoes, when coming to Ayi River.
