Libo Shuichun River Drift - Bilhete, horário de abertura, localização e destaques

Shuichun River Scenic Area (水春河风景区), spanning a length of 13 kilometers, derives its name from the Buyi ethnic ancient village, Shuichun Village, making it the most picturesque section of the Li Bo Zhangjiang landscape. Originating from the pristine forests of Moonlit Mountain, it flows westward through the town of Libo in Guizhou Province. Comprising rugged peaks, steep cliffs, caves, sandy beaches, swift currents, gentle shallows, and dense forests, the area boasts twenty-nine uniquely captivating canyon landscapes with a drop of approximately 100 meters, making it the preferred destination for refreshing summer drifts.

The upper reaches of the river present a serene reflection like a mirror, where navigating in a boat feels like gliding through a painting. As the river descends, it transforms into a raging beast, aggressively surging through high mountain canyons. Rubber boats navigate through the tumultuous waters, conquering nine rapids and eighteen waves, creating an exhilarating and heart-pounding experience. Adventurers brave the waves, passing through rapid shallows where emerald waves splash, momentarily engulfing both boat and passengers in the tumultuous river – a breathtaking and awe-inspiring sight. At times, the journey meanders through the tranquility of green waters and white clouds, offering a uniquely peaceful and serene experience.

The tradition of rafting in the Shuichun River dates back to 1996, and over the years, through careful development and cultivation, it has not only become a renowned drifting destination in Guizhou but also stands as the epitome of classic tourism in Libo. Revered as the “Number One Drift in the World,” the Libo Shuichun River drifting experience is a testament to the breathtaking natural beauty and thrilling adventure that this scenic area offers to visitors from all walks of life.
