Playing with water in summer and skiing in winter, every season has its own characteristics. Rafting is also very popular as a popular event in summer. Almost all men, women and children have different fascination with this event. In my opinion, the fact that several people are playing rafting together is more important than the rafting itself. For example, for a distance of more than ten kilometers, riding on a raft and drifting all the way to the end, what terrain you will encounter in the middle and what kind of scenery you will see, It was unknown at the beginning, including in gentle places. Tourists who don't know each other will also get to know each other because of water fights. These are all the joys of rafting, and rafting in each place has its own characteristics. A few days ago, I went to Tonglu Huxiao Gorge around Hangzhou for rafting. This place is also good.

Huxiao Gorge Scenic Area is located in Zhongshan Township, the mountainous area in the southwest of Tonglu. It is about 30 kilometers away from Tonglu County, about 100 kilometers away from Hangzhou, and only 40 minutes 'drive from Tonglu City. Starting from Hangzhou, you can drive yourself and high-speed rail. The high-speed rail goes directly to Tonglu Station, and it only takes 40 minutes to drive to the rafting point. It is a good choice for people who travel for a day on weekends. The rafting here usually starts at 11 a.m. and ends in the afternoon. Just this time during lunch, I found that the parking lot was relatively empty at the beginning, but it became very crowded after a while. There is also a large group of tourists queuing up to transfer to the upstream rafting point. As you can imagine, Huxiao Gorge rafting is very attractive to tourists. When asked, we learned that in addition to the ones around Hangzhou, there are also many people from around Shanghai who drive here by car. They usually come in a few cars, and familiar people come together to make fun. There are also more tourists on buses.

Since rafting basically starts at noon, those who need lunch can have a simple meal on the second floor of the service hall. Relatively speaking, the price is not too expensive and relatively convenient. There are also farmhouses to choose from in the surrounding area. For tourists who don't want to go back and forth on the same day, it's also good to find a B & B nearby and stay for one night. First, they can see more of the surrounding scenery. It's not just rafting.

In summer, in the mountains, bamboo forests are dancing and running water is roaring. From time to time, you can hear the heart-wrenching howls of tourists, which should be the noise of joy. From top to bottom, I rushed down first. After experiencing waves of road sections with large drops, I was already wet and I even drank a few mouthfuls of water. There will be a relatively gentle rafting section, where you can regain the excitement, relieve the tension a little, relax and go down the river. Look at the miserable state of my friends who are drifting together, and I can't help but feel happy. Look at the regretful mountain mountains and bamboo villages and passing vehicles on both sides. The busyness of the city slowly dissipates at this moment. I still seem to be looking forward to a more exciting and thrilling experience below.

The entire rafting length is mostly ten kilometers long, and there are special rafting reception points at the upper and lower levels. You can buy tickets downstream, change into rafting clothes, and take a life jacket to the upper reaches by taking a transit minibus. The ten-kilometer length can be floated for about an hour and a half. It will pass through different village bridges halfway through. There are rapids and gentle shoals down, and both excitement and stability are present at the same time.

The main reason why it can float for more than an hour is that there are several relatively gentle shoals in the middle. All the rafts will gather here for a period of time. As a place to rest and play with each other, they will suddenly feel the enthusiasm of strange tourists for water fights. They will also splash the water back politely. During this process, almost everyone laughed heartily without any anger. This should be a mystery of rafting. Everyone is happy, and playing with each other and fighting water fights will actually convey more happiness. After the gentle stage of happiness, there will be several sections with relatively large gaps. Although it is not as exciting as the beginning, it is still very happy as the final stage. During the entire process of drifting here, I didn't see anyone holding a paddle. It should be due to the difference between here and the fact that there are many staff members holding bamboo poles in the middle to guide the boat. Relatively speaking, the absence of paddle also reduces a safety hazard.

Rafting is a wet water sport. The shore is often slippery. Before rafting, please wear drifting clothes or swimsuits and soft-soled shoes to prevent slipping and scratching the soles of your feet. During the entire event, be sure to follow the instructions of the tour guide or staff and pay attention to safety. Before rafting, please hand over valuables (such as cameras, mobile phones, jewelry, watches, car keys, cash, etc.) to the storage office for safekeeping to avoid loss or immersion. Please keep the locker key.

When rafting, tourists are advised to wear helmets and life jackets correctly and pay attention to the navigation channel guidance signs. Before the rafting boat enters the slide and jumping platform, tourists must place the paddle correctly, hold the safety rope with both hands, strictly prohibit letting go, strictly prohibit standing, sit firmly, and experience the stimulation of speed more safely. During rafting, do not engage in excessive water fights and play; do not enter the river to swim or play in the water to avoid scratching your feet; do not take off your safety helmet and life jacket; do not hand over rubber dinghies and safety helmets to others or discard them at will. It is forbidden to leave the boat to play or go to dangerous areas alone during the entire journey to avoid accidents. To ensure the safety of you and others, it is strictly forbidden to carry breakable glass containers and inflammable and explosive materials into the river.

It is suitable for self-driving here. You can also take a taxi to Tonglu by high-speed train and take a taxi to the scenic spot. There will be a discount for online booking of tickets, around 170. It is fun to remember that there are many people when playing.

The joy of rafting lies in the joy of groups of three to five or more people laughing loudly during the rafting process, or the scenes of people who don't know each other entertaining each other. In short, this is a very interesting project, and it is also a summer. Many people like it. When the five mountains come back, they don't look at the mountains, and when the tiger comes back, they don't splash in the water. I hope everyone who comes here will have a happy experience.
