Product Overview📖
Located in the Qingxin District of Qingyuan City, Gulong Gorge Rafting is built along a natural riverbed. It is a professional course that has hosted multiple international natural water rafting competitions and is a designated venue by the General Administration of Sport of China. The course spans 6,063 meters with a total drop of 378 meters and a top speed of 72 km/h. Divided into a standard course and an extreme course, it is the longest, steepest, and fastest rafting project in Guangdong Province, having successfully challenged two world records.
Known as the 'roller coaster on the waves,' the course features an average slope of 9.5% and a thrilling 180-degree turn called 'Dragon's Look-back.' The canyon is dense with ancient trees, forming a natural 'forest tunnel' where temperatures stay below 22℃ year-round. It is one of the few rafting spots in Guangdong where sunscreen is unnecessary. The water is sourced from Gulong Cave, known for its icy, crystal-clear quality. As the industry saying goes, 'China's rafting is in Qingyuan, and Qingyuan's rafting is in Gulong.' The course was designed by international experts and holds multiple official safety certifications. In 2019, the 'Amazon Tribe' theme was introduced, featuring fun areas like Gorilla Island, Crocodile Pool, and Dinosaur Valley for an immersive experience.
