Eighteen Rapids Rafting
The Eighteen Rapids Rafting Scenic Area is located in Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City, the birthplace and cradle of the Qing Dynasty. It is just 98 kilometers from Shenyang, the provincial capital, making it very accessible. The rafting course starts at Pigeon Cave on Yuying River and ends at Chagou Bridge, both ends connecting to the Shenyang-Fushun Expressway. The total length of the Eighteen Rapids Rafting course is 5.2 kilometers. The Eighteen Rapids Tourist Resort features a temperate continental climate, which is highly conducive to the growth of temperate vegetation. Due to its relatively late development, the resort has preserved rich and well-maintained flora and fauna resources. The soil in the resort area is sandy loam, with a thickness of 24–40 centimeters. The mountaintops are rocky and exposed, and through long-term erosion, cutting, and weathering, the mountain landscapes have become more diverse, with rich and picturesque cliff contours. The area has now built the Yuying River Second-Level Hydropower Station and is preparing to construct a first-level station. This has helped control flooding and put it to good use. Within the scenic area, there are reticulated fissure waters in the weathering zones, and mountain spring water mostly seeps out as subsurface or surface flow, with not large volumes. However, during the rainy season in late summer and early autumn, the abundant rainfall creates numerous “stream surges” landscapes. The meandering Yuying River, together with the majestic and steep mountains on both banks, forms the essence and soul of the Eighteen Rapids Tourist Resort. The reflections of trees in the water and the rosy clouds enhance the charm of the area. The highest form of travel is achieving harmony between humans and scenery. When you’ve grown tired of the “concrete jungles” of the city and feel weary from the pressures of competition, come experience Eighteen Rapids Rafting — every natural landscape you see here is a delight to the eyes.
