Six thrilling drift points + recommended homestays for trips around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are great destinations for weekend getaways. There are six extremely exciting rafting spots in Tonglu, Anji, Lin'an, and Ningbo that I highly recommend!

Tiger Roar Gorge Drift - Tonglu Chapter

The five sacred mountains return, but no need to look at the mountains; the tiger's roar returns, but no time to play in the water: a meandering and winding drifting creek with a high drop.

Shanwanwan Rapids Adventure Scenic Area - Tonglu Chapter

Shanwanwan Drifting (Gaolian Village), High-altitude Glass Drifting, Floating Cloud Glass Bridge, Weishang Ancient Trail, High-altitude Suspension Bridge.

Great Joy Wilderness Homestay (Tonglu Branch) - Accommodation

The inn consists of four independent villas, totaling 26 rooms, each combining the characteristics of Jiangnan mountain dwellings with the unique lifestyle taste of Da Le. From the top of Changqiu Tian Mountain, you can see wild flowers covering the mountains and the distant Daishan Mountain. The lush bamboo growing in the mountains, the clouds and mist brushing against your face, and the chirping of mountain sparrows all embody the essence of Jiangnan mountain dwellings, giving us a glimpse of what future mountain living could be like.

Tonglu Guoyun Mountain Residence

The viral homestay "Guo Yun Mountain Residence" in Songyang achieved an astonishing occupancy rate of 95%. After two years, they opened their second store in Tonglu. The lowest altitude and largest-scale Guo Yun Mountain Residence truly overturned expectations. Just like Xi'keng Village, it is also nestled in the "waist eye" of a valley. On clear days, there is also a rising sea of clouds.

Anji Tianmu Mountain Drifting - Anji Edition

Green trees sway along both banks of the river, the environment is beautiful, but not very exciting.

General Guan's Adventure Drift - Anji Edition

Thrilling and exciting, characterized by precipices, peculiar rocks, ancient bridges, flowing streams, and cascading waterfalls.

Angie Hotel - Accommodation

Angile Rujiasan Inn is located in the Anji Tea Mountain Bamboo Sea. It was renovated from a local old house, preserving the traditional layout while meeting modern needs. Here, the courtyard, mountain streams, and tea mountains are all natural playgrounds for visitors.

Anji Green Luxury · Yunhai Wooden Homestay - Accommodation

Anji Green Luxury - Yunhai Wooden Homestay is located in Baofu Village, Anji, at an altitude of 540 meters. It is surrounded by the mystical Purple Clouds and Immortal Qi of the North Yin Longwang Mountain. It was designed by the well-known design company FUN UNIT DESIGN in Hangzhou, featuring a combination of rammed earth and modern architecture, blending delicacy and ruggedness perfectly. The homestay offers accommodation, dining, and self-service outdoor barbecue. It has a free parking lot and fully equipped facilities including air conditioning, digital TV, private bathroom, and broadband internet. There are also mahjong and barbecue facilities available. The homestay has a infinity pool where guests can enjoy the tranquil beauty of the Longwang Mountain while oxygenating. It is suitable for couples on vacation, family trips, and team building activities.

Three Crossings Cliff Drifting - Lin'an Edition

Translated into English: The Three-Du Cliff Drifting is built on the top of the mountain cliff, winding and undulating like a giant dragon nestled in the gorge. It hangs at a height of 58 meters, making it the first glass drifting attraction constructed on a cliff in the country. The drifting route is 1,200 meters long, with a drop of 68 meters from start to finish. It plunges straight down from the mountaintop, rushing along the steep cliff edge with the spray, allowing you to experience the sense of weightlessness brought by the acceleration. With a fully transparent glass design, the entire canyon scenery can be seen along the way, with a 360° double-layered circular spiral, allowing you to experience the thrill and excitement of conquering the mountain peak. (Please note that the operating status may vary, so it's recommended to check local information before your visit.)

Hangzhou Sandu Vacation Homestay - Accommodation

Hangzhou Sandu Vacation Homestay offers thoughtful services and first-class facilities, ensuring an unforgettable trip in Lin'an.

Rocky Village Drift - Ningbo

It's quite thrilling to see the drifting of the original village.

Ningbo Banma Homestay · Qixia Mountain Residence - Accommodation

You may have heard many stories about the hosts and emotions in guesthouses, but this time we won't talk about emotions, only ideals. In an era of great material satisfaction, emotions can bloom everywhere, but ideals still need to take root in the earth and be nurtured through action. Achieving ideals is more exhilarating than embracing small emotions. The ideal is to create unique experiences in every room after years of architectural design; the ideal is for even small guesthouses to have high-star services; the ideal is to provide not only polite service but also warm service.
