We recommend the self-produced chrysanthemums from Rainbow Family in Qinghua Town (35 yuan/can) • You can choose a one-way trip on Likeng Cruise. The river is only 800 meters long and there are many shops on both sides. • All rafting activities will be closed on rainy days. Please pay attention to the weather notifications on the official WeChat account of "Wuyuan Tourism" before your trip. ------ Conclusion: When the smoke rises from behind the horse-head wall, the old times in the camphorwood box and the splashing water during drifting are interwoven here to form the most vivid Huizhou picture.
