Dragon Boat Festival Getaway to Yangshuo, Guilin!

Hey friends, looking for a refreshing and fun destination for the Dragon Boat Festival? I highly recommend Yangshuo, Guilin! The must-do experience is definitely the bamboo rafting on the Yulong River – it's absolutely incredible! My favorite section is the "Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian" route, which takes about an hour and a half. The landscape unfolds like a scroll painting along both banks, breathtakingly beautiful. The most thrilling part is going over the small dams – the raft rushes down with splashing water, giving you an instant cool-down! During the festival, there's a special activity – "water fights!" Coordinate with your raft guide in advance, bring water guns or scoops, and have an unforgettable battle with other rafts amidst the stunning scenery! If you prefer something more peaceful, choose the "Shui'edi to Wanjing" section – shorter (about 50 minutes) and more relaxing. Want to explore and escape the heat? Head to the Silver Cave with its magical stalactites and cool underground river that instantly beats the summer heat. Important reminders: Book your rafting tickets in advance! They sell out quickly during the festival. Pack essentials: Quick-dry clothes, waterproof phone case, high-SPF sunscreen (hat and sunglasses are musts), sandals, and spare clothes (getting soaked in water fights is guaranteed!). Don't miss the food: After rafting, try the Li River beer fish and stuffed river snails, plus the local specialty zongzi for the festival! Safety first: Always follow your raft guide's instructions, especially when going over dams. Check the weather beforehand as rafting may be suspended after heavy rain. Seize the Dragon Boat Festival holiday and dive into Yangshuo's water adventures – a cool and joyful getaway awaits! Can't wait to hear about your amazing experiences! Yangshuo · Guilin
