Yulong River Bamboo Rafting Scenic Journey

About this tour

🎫Peaceful Countryside · Hand-Paddled Raft · A Slow Journey Through a Living Painting

📅Opening Hours:

08:30 – 17:00 (Subject to scenic area announcements)

📍 Overview

The Yulong River, known as the “Little Li River,” offers a quieter, more pastoral charm. Unlike the motorized rafts of the Li River, Yulong rafting is fully hand-paddled, slow and tranquil, with crystal-clear waters reflecting rice fields, ancient bridges, and lush mountains.

A special highlight is the weir-crossing experience: the raft slides down small dams, safe yet thrilling — a fun feature especially loved by families and young travelers.
