Double Rafting in Longjing Gorge
Double Rafting in Longjing Gorge (龙井峡双人漂流) is a unique combo adventure that includes two completely different parts. First, you will experience an incredible descent on the Sandu Xuanya glass slide — China's first rafting slide on a sheer cliff at a height of 58 metres and a length of 1200 metres. You will glide above the ground in a raft, passing through 360-degree loops and turns. Then a classic river rafting awaits you — 3 km of wild mountain river with a 100-metre drop and 7 powerful water dams. Two adventures for the price of one!
What awaits you: You will take an exciting slide on the glass slide with dizzying views, and then immediately dive into the water element of river rafting. At the finish — hot shower, changing rooms and a café. Ideal for active recreation as a couple or with friends.
