A great place for children to play by the Yulong River in Yangshuo👦

The highlight of this Yangshuo trip was the Yulong River bamboo rafting trip! Yangshuo itself is perfect for outdoor adventures and leisurely getaways, and the Yulong River is one of the area's most iconic water activities. The expansive river, the connection between mountains and water, and the leisurely pace of the bamboo rafting are perfect for relaxing, snapping photos, and truly experiencing the feeling of "traveling in a painting." 🌿 Recommended Main Tour: Yulong River Bamboo Rafting (8-person boat from Wanjing Pier), approximately 1 hour My first time bamboo rafting on the Yulong River, I was most impressed by the natural scenery and unique local atmosphere along the way. As the raft gently drifted through the crystal-clear water, with rolling karst peaks on both sides, I was instantly transported into a landscape painting. Even the air was filled with the fresh scent of green grass and water. The rafting guides were incredibly friendly and not only recommended great photo spots during the rafting, but also shared authentic stories, creating a very friendly atmosphere. Regarding ticket prices, the Yulong River bamboo rafting tour costs 45 yuan per person, which is standard for local water activities. (I compared prices and found it to be worth the price, especially the scenery, which is truly worth a visit.) The scenic area is very standardized, and ticket issuance, queuing, and boarding the bamboo raft are all smooth, so you don't have to worry about long lines. If you're traveling with friends, you can book your tickets online in advance during peak season (especially holidays) to make it more convenient to pick up your tickets on site. The bamboo rafting departure point is at Wanjing Pier, and admission is available from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It's recommended to choose a time in the morning or before 3:00 PM to avoid the midday heat, as the river's light and shadows are more dreamy and photogenic. 🎒 Tips: 1. Wear flip-flops or sandals to avoid getting your feet wet, and the bamboo raft is very stable. 2. Be sure to wear adequate sun protection; if the sun is strong, bring a hat and a light raincoat. 3. Bring a waterproof bag to protect your phone and camera so you can take endless videos and photos. 4. Arrive early and grab a snack after buying your ticket. Since it's breakfast or mid-morning, there are plenty of light food stalls nearby. 🍽️ Food Recommendations Near the Yulong River Pier are a few small restaurants, such as "Yulong River Private Cuisine" and "Lijiang Snack House," specializing in farmhouse cuisine. Try beer-battered fish, river snails, and handmade mochi for an authentic Guilin experience. You can also pick up some fruit or bamboo rice for a picnic by the river. 🚗 Transportation Tips If you're staying near Yangshuo West Street, the Yulong River Scenic Area takes about 20 minutes by taxi, and Didi ride-sharing is very convenient. If you're taking the bus, you can catch a direct bus to the scenic area from Yangshuo Bus Station. The fare is affordable and the routes are frequent. If you're driving, there's a parking lot available, so you don't have to worry about parking. 📍 Scenic Spot Information Tips -Address: Yulong River Scenic Area (Wanjing Wharf), Yangshuo County, Guilin City -Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM year-round -Ticket Price: 45 RMB/person Summary: Bamboo rafting on the Yulong River is truly relaxing, offering both the soothing feeling of natural scenery and the thrill of outdoor fun.

Next time I have the chance, I'd love to try an evening rafting tour and experience the Yulong River under the setting sun. #YulongRiverBambooRafting #YangshuoTravel #GuilinScenery #YangshuoMust-See #SaveTravel #YangshuoTravel #GuilinDay #tripFamilyTravelInformation Download the Trip.com app ￫ Search for "Family Travel" on the homepage ￫ to see recommended family trips and deals! @trip.com_hk
