The underground river is very large, with a boat trip. It's nice to touch the stalactites up close. There's also a land route above, but the land route is all stairs. My legs were numb when I walked there. There was no ventilation inside and it was very hot and stuffy. I was exhausted after walking the whole way. I had to climb a mountain to get out of the exit, which was quite tough. Fortunately, there was a flying carpet, which cost 20 yuan per person and took about 5 minutes to get to the parking lot.
Rest assured, the experience is excellent. In short, I highly recommend everyone to check in for this service. There is really nothing to say. I recommend it. It is generally beautiful and a relaxing place.

The environment is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. This weather is perfect for rafting! It is very refreshing, comfortable and cool! The natural scenery is infinitely beautiful and the service attitude is very good. The place is very clean and tidy, and the service is included.
Family, I'm hooked on Gulong Gorge rafting! Feeling the thrill of speed and excitement in the river, the raft hurtles through the rapids – that lightning-fast feeling is amazing! The canyon's lush greenery provides excellent sun protection and shelter from the wind and rain. It's so satisfying! The water-splashing interactions with the "wild people" make rafting even more lively and fun. I love it!

The Millennium Yao Village in Qingyuan is a captivating tourist destination. Founded in the Song Dynasty, it boasts a thousand-year history and is considered the largest and oldest Yao village in China, and perhaps even the world. This ancient village boasts a cascading network of blue-tiled stone houses and winding bluestone pathways. Stroll through the area and admire historical sites like the Yao King's House and Pangu King Temple. Experience Yao intangible cultural heritage like traditional Yao wine and long drum performances. Savor Yao delicacies like cured meat and bamboo rice. Watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds in the morning, and enjoy bonfire parties at night—time seems to slow down here.
The thousand-year-old Miao village was so beautiful I was speechless! The stilt houses nestled in the green hills, and the morning mist wrapped around the terraced fields looked like a fairyland. The Miao embroidery woven by the grandmother shone silver, the Lanmen wine was sweet, and the sour fish soup was so delicious it made you stamp your feet! Staying here for one night was totally worth it 🌙

The experience is very good. It is not too big to walk around. The project experience is very good. It is worth a try. It is really interesting to see animals on the train. I look forward to unlocking more new projects next time I go!
Let's start with the pros: 1. It's close to nature, allowing you to see many animals up close. The train ride is a must. 2. The staff are very friendly and helpful, greeting everyone they meet. The foreigners were very welcoming, and the atmosphere was very cheerful. Seeing the long line for the train, I initially wanted to upgrade to VIP, but the staff told me the wait time was a maximum of 15 minutes, saving me 300 yuan. 3. The prices are reasonable and the value is quite good. I especially recommend the Giraffe Restaurant, which is the best value for money. The barbecued pork rice and soy sauce chicken are both 68 yuan each, and the soup is only 10 yuan a bowl. Many people recommend the Lion Restaurant, but I personally think the view isn't as good as the Bear Restaurant. Now, let's talk about areas for improvement: 1. The online reviews aren't particularly good. I personally believe you get what you pay for. Compared to the other Chimelong restaurants, the Zhuhai Chimelong is more welcoming and suitable for everyone, regardless of age. It's just a bit more expensive. Chimelong in Qingyuan has a lot of room for improvement. It doesn't offer many attractions overall, making it suitable for children under 10. Older children might find it boring. The park itself is small and still under development. 2. The air conditioning in the enclosed theater is underpowered, practically nonexistent. In 40-degree weather, the audience was practically suffocating. A little water mist would be helpful, but it really needs improvement. 3. The theater screen is quite small and could be better, comparable to the 5D theater at Chimelong in Zhuhai. I'm looking forward to the "Journey Through Africa" theme. The current animal migration relies entirely on a tricycle and manual driving of zebras. The show also relies on the charming giraffes and docile birds, otherwise it would be a real mess. Overall, it's okay. I recommend it to those who haven't been. Children will have a blast. One day is a great time, not crowded, and relatively few people. I personally think it's quite good. Tips: ① Don't bring in food. ② First, check out the beautiful giraffes, then play in the birdcage next to them. The rides start at 10:00 AM, so 11:20 AM is perfect for lunch. Afterward, go ride the Ferris wheel. It's air-conditioned and very comfortable. ③ Afterward, go see the theater and finally the train. Even-numbered seats are recommended.

Fenglinxiao Town is very fun. It's good to take children there for a day. The cave is very beautiful. We took a boat. The water was a bit turbid. We also had to climb up the mountain. The high spiral staircase was very far away. It was very inconvenient and tiring. In addition, it was raining, so we didn't get to the glass observation deck in the end.
Very good scenic spot, super big cave, dome 20 to 30 meters, there is a river below. The water surface and the dome are beautiful. It takes an hour to walk through. It is worth going again.

The waterfall is very nice and it is very cool to stay at the bottom. It takes very little time to climb to the top. There are various wooden bridges and iron chain bridges along the way, which is also fun. The mountain trails are mostly covered with green plants and it is not too hot. You can also rafting next to it, which is not bad.
I visited Bijia Mountain over a decade ago, and this time I brought my kids. Over the years, the ecological preservation here is still very good. The river water is crystal clear and really clean, and the kids never get bored climbing it. There are various ropeway adventure trails to climb, and the most beautiful thing is the waterfall, which is refreshing and relaxing. It took about an hour and a half to climb up the mountain, and less than an hour to go down. There are steps and a car to choose from, both very convenient. The air here is really good. Although it rained at the end, we still had a great time. It's a place worth recommending, and I hope the environment will continue to improve!

Rafting is OK. The slope is not very steep and is gentler than Gulong Gorge. The water is relatively deeper. The water park is basically a children's version. The swimming pool is 1.1 meters to 1.6 meters deep. There are no exciting projects in the park except the red slide I posted below. It can fly more than one meter away. The big speaker has to carry the air cushion by itself. The air cushion is few and not high. The ticket is so expensive. It is not worth it at all
I went to Qingyuan for a trip and stayed at Shiqi Villa. The hotel is located in Xuanzhen Scenic Area. The room rate includes the ticket to Yunxi Jiu Waterfall. I went in early in the morning to walk in the mountains, thinking it would not be so hot, but the weather was not as hot as I imagined. There was no mountain wind that day, it was too hot and stuffy, and I was soaked all over after walking for a while. First, I went from the entrance and followed the signs to the entrance of the scenic spot, checked my tickets, and then I could see the big waterwheel and take pictures. There are two roads to go up the mountain, you can go either way, anyway, it is a circle, go to the "golden finger" where it is the head, and then go to the other two roads. There are many streams and small waterfalls along the way, the stream water is cool and comfortable.

The whole Huangtengxia rafting takes about an hour and a half. If you play water fights for a long time, you can play longer. The mountain spring water is cool and refreshing, which is very suitable for playing with friends and family.
I go to Huangteng Gorge almost every year, and the feeling is different every time. The whole process takes about an hour, and the time goes by very quickly. The water is also very cold. People with cold bodies should be careful not to soak for too long. The experience is very good, and I will continue to go there every year in the future.

First praise, then criticism. The scenic area is indeed beautiful, with blue skies, white clouds, peaks, and lotus flowers, it's truly captivating. The downside is the pricey entrance fee. The 70 yuan ticket is just for the entrance fee; everything else in the area is charged separately, like a package deal. Don't buy the halfway train ride from the main gate; if you do, buy the full ride or ride it back. The halfway ride doesn't even pass through the lotus pond; you only do it on the way back. The self-driving minibus is 60 yuan per hour, 30 yuan for more than half an hour, and the minimum charge is one hour. It's incredibly slow, but the only benefit is that you don't have to walk.
The scenery was generally nice, with the lotus flowers in full bloom, and the train ride was okay. Well, the price was a bit high for only the half-trip; a full trip would have been nice. I didn't really try the other paid options, but they seemed okay. A little better value for money would have been better.

Longtan Resort and Huangchuan Three Gorges Cruise are in the same place. The resort is mainly for accommodation, and there is also a Yao ethnic song and dance performance. The resort also has a free shuttle bus to the glass bridge, provided that you have purchased the glass bridge ticket.
There is a place in Huangchuan Three Gorges that is as flat as a knife. A huge stone suddenly spews out from the wall, shaped like a dragon head. A waterfall spews out from the dragon head's mouth, hanging straight down in the air, all year round. Longquan Gorge got its name from this. The flying dragon plays with the pearl, and the waterfall falls straight down three thousand feet. It seems like the Milky Way falls from the sky.
