Yulong River
Yulong River is the biggest branch
of the Li River in YangShuo County. The clear
water runs smoothly past fields,farmhouses, trees
and mountains. Traveling by bamboo raft you will
be surrounded by the crystal water and feel relaxed
and happy in the arms of the green mountains.
Looking from the mountaintops, you can see a vivid
panorama of the landscape with the green crystal
water flowing through the colorful valley below.
Passengers are entranced with the
harmonious picture of women washing clothes beside
the river,ducks swimming on the river,bamboo rafts
moving under the old bridge,and farmers working
in the fields.Yulong has a different kind of beauty
than the Li River. Along the Yulong River you
can find Fuli Bridge, Guiyi Original Site, Ancient
Village, Xiangui Bridge, the Zhus'Camp,Chuan Cave,
Rhinoceros Deep Pool, Zhaoyang Camp, Seven Stars
and other scenic spots.
Most tourist traffic on this river
is on small bamboo rafts. The going price for
a trip on these rafts is about 150 Yuan per raft.
Swimming is also a popular activity
on this river. There are several swimming holes
on the river. Swimming here is safer than on the
Li River as there is a smaller current and it
is not as deep.
The excellent composition of water,
ancient bridges and mountains along this waterway
is one of the favorite choices of photographers
and artists coming to the area. For those who
are looking for a fabulous hike and bike tour,
cycle to Baisha's Yulong Bridge through the trails
along the Yulong River, and stay on bamboo raft
down river to Gao Tian. You'll pass six unforgettable
ancient bridges during the 5-hour walk, or 3 hour
cycling.
