Ayi River Scenic Area

The Ayi River Scenic Area is characterized by its deep valleys and high peaks, with a narrow riverbed and clear, tranquil waters, making it an ideal destination for summer retreats and water play. The Ayi River rafting is divided into two sections, upper and lower, with separate charges for each. The upper section has calm waters without rapids; the lower section features a more turbulent river with three areas of rapids and dangerous shoals, the first of which is particularly thrilling.


From the entrance of the Ayi River Scenic Area to the Bamboo Plank Bridge Wharf, visitors can take a 100-meter elevator (Heaven’s Ladder), which is an outdoor sightseeing elevator built in the Mother and Child Stream Gorge. The elevator rises approximately 148 meters, making it one of the highest gorge-type outdoor sightseeing elevators in Asia. Alternatively, you can walk down the steps, known as the Thousand Steps, which takes about half an hour to reach the wharf.


Niu Jiao Zhai marks the boundary between the upper and lower sections of the Ayi River, where visitors can take an electric cart directly to the scenic area’s exit. Operating hours are from October 8th to May 31st, 09:00-16:00.
