Xuanzhen Ancient Cave Rafting is known as ‘the best rafting in South China’ and ‘the most thrilling rafting in Southern Guangdong’. In 2005, Xuanzhen Ancient Cave Rafting, as a representative rafting in Qingyuan, was designated as the main venue for the ‘National Natural Water Rafting Competition’ and the place where the ‘Hometown of Rafting in China’ was awarded. The Xuanzhen Ancient Cave Rafting river is 4.3 kilometers long, combining the characteristics of five gorge rapids such as the warrior drift, adventure drift, spiral drift, sprint drift, and waterfall drift. It allows visitors to experience the thrill and joy of various rafting in one stop. Another feature of Xuanzhen Ancient Cave Rafting is its clear water quality. The stream is formed from the convergence of mountain streams and lush forests, with a riverbed made of natural mountain stones, which is different from the muddy weaknesses of other rafting river waters.
