Jiudaoh River

Jiudaoh River

The romantic rafting trip on the Jiudaoh River starts at Jinping Cave and ends at Tumen, stretching 5 kilometers in total, just 4 kilometers from the county town. The crystal-clear waters of the Jiudaoh River wind through 18 bends, flowing through canyons and fissures with steep, unclimbable cliffs on both sides. Lush green mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, the air is fresh, and the trees are thick and intertwined with gnarled roots. The river meanders along the valley floor, alternating between fast and slow currents, gathering into pools of azure blue that resemble emeralds inlaid in the landscape. As you ride a rubber raft down the waves, the cool water kisses your skin, the serene gorges dazzle your eyes, and you pass through towering canyon walls, turbulent rapids, and dark caves—offering an exhilarating mix of thrill, excitement, and breathtaking beauty. The Jiudaoh River Leisure Center, currently under development, will integrate dining, accommodation, entertainment, activities, and rafting, welcoming visitors with even richer experiences. A first-class experience begins here—you won’t want to leave!
