The Yulong River, a tributary of the Li River, meanders through lush valleys framed by karst peaks. Unlike the motorized rafts on the Li, bamboo rafts here are poled manually, providing a quiet, immersive experience. Visitors can float downstream, swim in clear pools, or walk along the riverbanks. The river's gentle pace and pristine surroundings make it a favorite for those seeking tranquility away from crowds. Its distinctive charm lies in the intimate connection with nature and local life.
Don't miss

- Swim in the clear, cool waters of the river
