The vegetation on both sides of the Zijiang River is well protected, and the flow and velocity are relatively stable, like a jade belt shuttling between strange mountains and different mountains.
Drifting on the beautiful Zijiang River is like stepping into a long landscape gallery. The peaks on both sides of the strait are abrupt, the rocks are rugged, the clouds are lingering, the bamboo and green cages are full of flowers, the waterfowl flies low and the warblers sing tactfully. River osprey bamboo raft shuttles through the clear river; The thatched cottage by the river is hidden in the green bushes, and the houses are like birds and dogs. The reflection reflected the bottom of the water, and colored stones paved the riverbed. The river is swift and crystal clear, and the fish are swimming around in the water, which is clearly visible. White waves stroke your face, and the breeze is Xu Lai. Take a boat or drift down, the mountain turns with the water, the partner sails, and the boat changes scenery. Looking from a distance, "there is no way to doubt the mountains and rivers"; Not far away, "a bright future is another village", and the waves beat against the clothes, which was both surprised and happy. The ship is in Jiang Shangxing, and people travel in a picture world, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

The boat drifted the Zijiang River, berthed on both sides and headed for Tianmen Scenic Area in Zijiang. Stop and look up, but see towering peaks, bamboo green cages, green trees and red buildings, complement each other, natural scenery and human landscape are integrated, each with its own characteristics. To the north, you can climb the cliff, pick up the artificial 1098 stone steps, and climb to the top of the immortal village, which is 627 meters above sea level and chopped on all sides with knives and axes. You can not only enjoy the virgin forest on the mountain, but also overlook the Zijiang landscape in the east, north and south. To the west, along the foot of the cliff, I suddenly looked up and saw that the huge stone peak was cut off from top to bottom, forming a 184 meter, less than 2 meters wide and more than 50 meters high. This is the "western scene" that surprises tourists. To the east, enter the "world's first medicine valley"-Million Valley. When you hover along the mountain road between the peaks, you can smell thousands of exotic medicines and herbs, touch the old vines in Gu Teng and gurgle out. There is a rhyme fairy spring in Ding Dong, where you can listen to birds singing in the secluded forest, cross the "Oriental Sky", climb the "Sky Ridge" and descend the "Ladder", and enjoy the landscape within your reach.

Deep canyons, dangerous and fast beaches, high mountains and strange rocks, beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait and rich folk customs have left a deep impression on tourists who come to Wupai River for rafting and exploration.
Rafting on the Wupai River by bamboo raft or rubber boat is simply an adventure in the valley. There are many bends, steep mountains, deep forests and secluded valleys. All the noise in the world suddenly vanished, and the river brought people into a simple and primitive pure natural realm.
Wupai River is 5-30 meters wide, with a drop of nearly 300 meters between upstream and downstream. You are greeted by rapids and rapids that are almost integrated. When you were drifting and exploring, the rubber boat flew down and the empty white waves came head on. The rubber dinghy flew up and down, running from side to side, dry before entering the beach and wet after leaving the beach. The surging Wupai River, like a runaway spirited horse, gallops in the deep mountain canyon. As long as you are fearless and persevering, tourists will eventually be able to tame this unruly fierce horse and become a knight to ride this fierce horse.
Exploring the decisive victory of the Five Pai River, the ancient and vast source, is thrilling enough to make mortals become heroes, cowards become warriors and people enjoy the endless fun of conquering nature.
In the process of drifting on the Wupai River, the body is still foggy, illusory and thrilling, full of endless fun of returning to and conquering nature.
