It's my second time here. Last time, I brought two adults and one child. This time, my father brought two children. The rafting is gentle. It's best for several families to play together. The most interesting thing is that the children and adults have water fights.
Very fun, suitable for the elderly and children
The changing rooms and showers are relatively clean and convenient
Every year I choose this place for rafting. It is not very exciting overall, but there are a few slopes that are quite fun. Safety first.

Hubei Dakou National Forest Park is located in Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, at the southern foot of Dahongshan Scenic Area, 30 kilometers away from Zhongxiang Yingzhong City; it is adjacent to Taizi Mountain in the east, Qujialing in the south, Zaodang Line in the north, and Hanshui River in the west; the total area is 1,590 hectares, and the forest coverage rate exceeds 90%.
Hubei Dakou Provincial Forest Park was built in 1992, and in July 1995, it was approved by the former State Forestry Department to establish Dakou National Forest Park. The park has a subtropical monsoon climate, with a unique microclimate, no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, abundant rainfall, and an average annual temperature of 15.9℃. The park is dominated by low mountain landforms, with an average altitude of 350 meters. The main vegetation is deciduous broad-leaved forest and coniferous broad-leaved mixed forest.
Hubei Dakou National Forest Park is divided into four major scenic spots: Jiujiu Tianxi Scenic Area, Yuntai Scenic Area, Yingzidong Scenic Area, and Liumenkou Scenic Area, with a total of 17 scenic spots; there are some Buddhist temples, Zen temples, and Taoist temples in the park.
In June 2020, it was selected into the list of national forest health care bases (first batch).
Hubei Dakou National Forest Park is a national forest park. The following is a specific evaluation:
Scenery
The mountains and rivers are interdependent, and the natural scenery is beautiful: the park has undulating mountains, gurgling streams, waterfalls, and the Tianchi is like a mirror. The Jiuji Tianxi Scenic Area is famous for its clear streams and waterfalls. The water is clear and blue. The big and small Tianchi are the essence of the park. The lake is green and surrounded by mountains. The scenery is beautiful. In addition, there are unique landscapes such as Wulong Cave and Nanzhu Forest, which make people linger.
Rich vegetation and diverse ecology: The main vegetation in the park is deciduous broad-leaved forest and coniferous broad-leaved mixed forest, with lush trees, birds singing and flowers. Walking in the forest trail, you can breathe fresh air and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. In spring, everything revives, the mountain flowers are in full bloom, and it is even more beautiful.
Fun
Parent-child interaction, endless fun: The park has many attractions and activity areas suitable for parent-child interaction. For example, you can catch small fish and shrimps in the stream and experience the fun of fishing; you can also enjoy your own food in the picnic area and experience the fun of outdoor dining. In addition, there are Internet celebrity swings, photo-taking check-in points, etc., which increase the fun and interactivity of the play.
Adventure challenges, exciting and interesting: For tourists who like adventure, the mountain roads and caves in the park are good challenges. Although some sections of the road are rugged, it is this challenge that makes the play process more exciting and interesting. At the same time, there are many viewing platforms and climbing pavilions in the park, where you can climb high and look far, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire park.
Cost-effectiveness
The ticket price is affordable: Compared with other well-known tourist attractions, the ticket price of Hubei Dakou National Forest Park is very affordable. It only costs 35 yuan/person to book one day in advance, and it only costs 40 yuan/person to buy tickets on site. This price is acceptable to most tourists.
Rich play items: Although the ticket price is not high, the play items in the park are very rich. Whether it is enjoying the natural scenery, participating in parent-child interaction, adventure challenges and other activities, tourists can feel that they are getting great value for money.
The scenery of Dakou National Forest Park is good, that is, the water volume is not large now, and the so-called Tianchi is also very small. The photos on the Internet are filters, the water is not so green, the road is not easy to walk, don't wear slippers, you can wear sandals or put slippers in your bag if you want to play in the water. But there are really a lot of mosquitoes and insects inside. When I entered the door, there were mosquitoes in front of me. I kept buzzing in my ears all the way, and some flew in my eyes. Husband said that because there were few people, more people were scattered, and I don't know if it was like this! 🤭
