Bamboo Rafting

Taking a bamboo raft ride is a relaxing way to enjoy amazing views of the Yu Long (Dragon) and Li River. You can start at different places along both rivers and the rides range from half an hour to five hours. This is not the same as white water rafting, as the current in both rivers is very gentle, so in fact you're just floating down river with a gondolier who steers you over the breakwaters. Both rivers have their advantages; if a quiet ride is what you're after; try the Yulong River for a lazy afternoon. For a more varied landscape with Karst Mountains towering hundreds of meters up from the river, we recommend a motorized bamboo raft along the Li River. Generally the rafts have enough room for 2 bikes so you can always combine it with a biking tour
