preface

The most important thing to miss in summer is not only eating watermelons, but also finding a cool place to play in the water. It seems that only the splashing water on the rocks and the colorful kayaking rafting are the best cooling tools of this summer.

Among the vacation destinations around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, my favorite is Anji in Huzhou. Anji, which is comfortable and leisurely, not only boasts beautiful mountain and forest scenery, but also has a plethora of cool and exciting hidden gameplay waiting for you to unlock! And this time, we picked up the canyon drift in Xianlong Gorge!

Xianlong Gorge is located in the beautiful natural bamboo sea of Anji, just like a giant dragon running through the primitive mountains and forests. "Mountains are not high, immortals are named; water is not deep, dragons are spiritual." These two sentences are the best interpretation of the unique and beautiful Xianlong Gorge;

The entire canyon has a drop of over a hundred meters, with steep and dangerous beaches on both sides and beautiful scenery. It is worth mentioning that this is not only the most exciting canyon rafting in the Yangtze River Delta, but also the first canyon rafting in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai that can be traced back to the river!

You can experience the extraordinary excitement of more than ten extreme bay paths in the extreme drifting of Xianlong Gorge;

You can also feel the depth and tranquility of the upstream stream, as well as the ease and coolness, in the canyon lined with giant rocks on the side;

You can also go to the paragliding camp to experience the joy of soaring high above the Earth's gravity.

With such a rich one-stop sea, land, and air cool and super cool summer experience, anyone can't help but say a word!

Water pulp board, a new fun of playing water in summer

On our first stop at Anji Xianlong Gorge, we plan to play a warm-up with a water board!

It is said that paddleboarding is currently one of the most popular water sports. Paddle surfing, which originated in Hawaii, USA in its early years, has become a popular sport worldwide in recent years.

The activity equipment for paddleboarding is only composed of a large surfboard and a single paddle higher than height, which is relatively lightweight and can be easily handled by one person. Even novice players can immediately get started~

The coach introduced the essentials while also showcasing his fancy paddle board diving style, which is too cool!

When everyone gets on the board, adjust your body to its optimal state first. After practicing a few times from kneeling, you can easily find a sense of balance and stand up! Riding the wind and breaking the waves, you are free to paddle, and a new experience of water coolness will start immediately!

Not surfing like a sprint, but sliding freely in calm, this kind of water play to cool off the heat seems to have a unique charm~

Fairy Tale Wooden House, French Dinner at Danpo Fang

This is a fairy tale wooden house surrounded by a tea garden, and it is also the location of our dinner tonight.

The overall style leans towards a fairy tale style with a touch of freshness, which is the kind of bright yellow and ivory white that people can easily fall in love with at a glance. A wooden house adorned with rosin, a large lawn shaded by trees, and pure white dining tables and chairs, the Danpo Fang perfectly embodies French romance.

Eaves, grass, paths, window edges With a casual tap, every corner is as beautiful as an oil painting~

Stay up late at night, set out aromatherapy, red wine, and candles with friends, sit around the open-air estate benches, and enjoy a sumptuous French dinner. Perhaps this is the life of longing~

Kuye ATV, Bamboo Maze Crossing

What cool and exciting gameplay is driving an all terrain motorcycle on a maze track in the natural bamboo forest of Anji?!

Driving an ATV, crossing shallow or deep potholes, low or high mounds ahead, tightly gripping the handle of the car, feeling the jolt of the car. When crossing the soil slope, the body suddenly leaps upwards, spreading its wings and flying high in the wind, feeling too windy! If your sisters also have the impulse to act wild, come and ride on the car that can "jump" together, and walk through the bamboo forest together to feel the magic of nature.

Fragrant Covenant, Experience of Essential Oils from Lin Qingxuan

What you may not know is that Anji is also the origin of materials for the recently popular skincare brand Lin Qingxuan. Lin Qingxuan has spent three years extensively farming here, planting various flowers and plants for natural skincare products.

Coincidentally, from the off-road vehicle experience, next to it is Lin Qingxuan's essential oil experience base - Xianghui Fragrant Kingdom.

In order to create a unique "fragrant kingdom" of mountains and rivers, they have put in a lot of effort. The fresh glass room is filled with many products, elegant and simple, making people unable to resist exploring.

It is said that every fragrance of essential oil has a unique charm. Why not choose a fragrance that suits you, light, sweet, lively, elegant, lazy, and tempting, so that the ultimate sensory enjoyment can be integrated into your heart~

Playing in Xianlong Gorge, drifting upstream for a cool summer

What is standard in the scorching summer? Watermelon, popsicles, or WiFi air-conditioned room? For high-end players, the restless and frenzied season of summer every year is inevitable - they must drift!

Being able to stand out among numerous rafts and be praised as the most exciting rafting in East China, Xianlong Gorge is also worthy of its reputation.

More than ten rapids and rapids are sure to make you scream and scream for pleasure;

A place where the river is gentle, and one can shuttle between the green shade, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides;

Playing water battles while drifting with family and friends can evoke memories of playing by the water in childhood.

Entering the scenic area, the staff will thoughtfully put on a waterproof drift bracelet for you, and then select the equipment to prepare for battle!

It is worth mentioning that the supporting facilities here have been heavily invested, with the entire stream being monitored by cameras and equipped with professional drifting and rescue personnel. The security has reached the international security level, which can ensure that passengers can enjoy themselves comfortably.

Creek Tracing Experience

Unlike ordinary rafting, this is also the only canyon rafting in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai that can be traced back to the river. It requires first hiking through the canyon, a classic summer stream route, and then drifting downstream to play!

Strolling through the canyon, there are towering rocks, undulating mountains, flowing water, and green pools everywhere. Along the way, the streams are clear, and the eyes are filled with deep tranquility and tranquility. The forests on both sides are lush, with birds singing and flowers fragrant; The vegetation is lush everywhere, forming a beautiful landscape painting with clear streams and springs.

Canyon Drifting

To play canyon rafting, it can be summarized as 8 words: Drifting doesn't rely on oars, it all depends on waves!

The entire drift path is deep and winding, sometimes flowing straight down or falling into rapids. Amidst the roar of the valley, riding a rubber boat downstream, the turbulent waterways, splashing waves, and collisions with rocks can instantly extinguish the scorching summer heat. It's simply not too exciting!

Drifting along the way, cheering all the way, traversing through the jungle, crossing the valley, and admiring the beautiful scenery from a mobile perspective, drifting downstream in the forest and flower tide, there are many thrilling turning points along the way. In the distance, it seems ordinary, just a winding stream. The eye-catching "grab the handrail" slogan implies that things are not so simple. When sitting on it, the rowing boat seems to transform into a combination of a roller coaster and a bumper car, with a huge vertical drop that never underestimates the acceleration of gravity.

Accompanied by screams and splashes of water, it quickly rushed down from upstream. Although soaked all over, every drifting person laughed heartily, immersed in the joy of this sport.

The most gratifying thing is the clear and bottomless mountain spring water here. The splashing water occasionally hits your cheeks, and even if it is splashed, it will not be covered in mud and sand, making you feel uncomfortable. However, remember to bring a waterproof phone bag, as in some places, the water splashes are still large and can have an impact on taking photos. But most of the time, we still need to practice "holding onto the handrail".

In the turbulent currents, you can burst out with heartfelt cries and feel a thrilling experience.

Accompanied by screams and splashes of water, it quickly rushed down from upstream. Although soaked all over, every drifting person laughed heartily, immersed in the joy of this sport.

Walking through the rapids, you can also take a break in the gentle beach area, surrounded by green mountains on all sides. People float in the water, as if swimming in a painting. The cool mountain spring water slowly comes, washing away the fatigue and fatigue all over your body, and making you feel the ease after being in danger!

But don't think that the beach area is just a place to rest. The preserved drifting scenes and water battles are finally about to make a grand appearance! The river water here has a clear and clear texture, with varying speeds, making it a paradise for water fights on earth!

Wall cracking suggests that everyone should have a water gun and a bowl of gourd, especially if the water gun has a long range and can hit accurately. It can be said that it is a necessary set for precise strikes!

When you have fun, you can also jump into the water and swim (remember to wear good shoes, sandals and slippers are not recommended, as stones at the bottom of the river are prone to injury, so hiking shoes or cave shoes are a good choice)

While enjoying the coolness of the water, we happily engage in a water battle; While enjoying the beautiful scenery of the canyon, it's leisurely and extremely enjoyable!

After drifting, you can also take a hot shower, which can be said to be a one-stop service. Therefore, it is best to bring your own laundry and toiletries, and continue the journey with a refreshing feeling. There is free ginger tea available at the ticket office, which is believed to be an excellent magic weapon for friends who soak goji berries in insulated cups to dispel the chill of drifting!

Night talk around the fireplace, camping base

The intersection of the words "camping" always weaves a dream of freedom about wandering together. Welcoming the sunrise in the tent, downloading songs and dancing in the open space, gathering with three or five friends, discussing life ideals, trivial daily life, and whether the starry sky tonight is particularly bright

And in Anji, there is also such a camping site that can satisfy all your fantasies about poetry and distant places.

The white tent, like the pure white flowers of this season, blooms happily in the mountains and rivers, allowing you, who have lived in the city for a long time, to let go of your tired heart in the mountains and listen to the most authentic sounds of nature

Barbecue can be said to be the most popular area for cuisine. Enjoying outdoor self-service barbecue with friends, eating all the big fish and meat in the city, experiencing the fun of natural barbecue and making it yourself is also very interesting. The meat is washed by charcoal fire, with a rich aroma, tender and smooth, crispy, fresh and salty, spicy, and a variety of flavors that instantly blend in the mouth, not greasy or greasy, and delicious.

Surrounding a small table, sitting on the ground, accompanying family and children, or having a few friends, chatting and talking, probably all the troubles in the world can drift away with the evening breeze~

Soaring freely, my first experience of paragliding

Besides drifting, this is also the most anticipated experience for me on this trip!

A group of young friends took a car to the Cormorant Country Parachute Flight Camp in the early morning. The flight experience was taught by the coach using a two person glider to guide the pilot, so there is no need to worry about not being able to control it. In the blue sky and white clouds, take a glider to jump from a high place and enjoy the tranquility and beauty brought by "breaking away" from the gravity of the Earth together!

Following the coach's instructions, bend down and accelerate forward in a straight line. In just a few seconds, you can successfully take off. When your feet leave the ground, it feels really amazing!

After adapting for a while, you can slowly, gently, and freely hover in the air. Looking at the world from a different angle in the hundreds of meters of high altitude, the cool and refreshing breeze that hits your face makes you breathe fresh air, and your pores become comfortable. Listening to the breath of the wind and the dance of the clouds, it seems that all your troubles are instantly dispelled by the greenery on the mountaintop~

Stay in Linyang for a rest and enjoy the delicious farmhouse food

On the weekend leisure water trip in Anji, we stayed in Linyang for a rest. The homestay built next to the mountains was a place to play with paddleboards, which was very convenient. Being in the midst of green mountains and water, surrounded by clouds and mist, you could sleep on the waves and enjoy the moon. The sound of mountain springs accompanied you to sleep, and you could breathe in fresh oxygen by pushing the window. All kinds of greenery danced and melted in every inch of air you breathed... I believe no matter how much fatigue you had, it would dissipate like smoke and clouds~

And there are many delicious foods in Anji, most of which are fresh and delicious local dishes. As we stayed in a farmhouse, we have long heard from the landlady that the chefs here (who used to work in a five-star hotel in Hangzhou) cook very well. During the journey, we basically solved all three meals a day in the homestay!

Most delicious dishes are sourced from fresh organic ingredients in the mountains, including self raised duck, chicken, clear water fish, and various wild vegetables, restoring the taste of the ingredients themselves. It can be said that they are all in color, aroma, and taste!

Drifting tip:

1. In summer, there are many drifting tourists, and it is inevitable to encounter queuing and waiting situations,

2. Bring an extra set of changed clothes so that dry clothes can be changed when you come ashore.

3. Do not wear leather shoes, flat slippers, plastic sandals, and sneakers. During the drifting process, it is inevitable that there will be accumulated water in the boat. If you are barefoot, it is easy to scratch when getting off or capsizing, so it is better to wear shoes.

4. Except for drinking water, do not bring valuable items such as watches, mobile phones, cameras, identification documents, and cash that are afraid of water to avoid loss

5. Do not make dangerous movements while drifting: Generally speaking, the drifting section of the river is relatively safe. As long as you do not get off the boat arbitrarily, do not play with each other, and do not actively catch floating objects in the water and grass, trees, and stones on the shore, the drifting raft will not overturn. It doesn't matter if the ship capsizes, just hold your breath and be careful not to choke on the water, as you are wearing a life jacket.

When drifting through a drop, the oars must be placed inside the boat and not held in the hands or placed horizontally on the boat to prevent personal injury, loss of oars, or injury to others.
