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 Rafting - Tonglu Chapter

After visiting the Five Great Mountains, no other mountains will impress you; after experiencing Tiger Roar, no other water activities will excite you: a winding and twisting rafting stream with high drops.

Shanwanwan Rapids Adventure Scenic Area - Tonglu Chapter

Shanwanwan Rafting (Gaolian Village), High-altitude Glass Rafting, Yunpiaopiao Glass Bridge, Weishang Ancient Path, High-altitude Suspension Bridge.

Dalezhiye B&B (Tonglu Branch) - Accommodation

The B&B consists of four independent villas with a total of 26 rooms, each combining the characteristics of Jiangnan mountain living with Dale's unique lifestyle taste. At the top of Changqiutian Mountain, you can see wildflowers all over the mountain and distant indigo mountains. The green bamboo growing in the mountains, the mist brushing against your face, and the chirping mountain sparrows all embody the essence of Jiangnan mountain living, giving us a glimpse of what future mountain living might look like.

Tonglu Guoyunshan Residence

The internet-famous homestay 'Guoyunshan Residence', which achieved an astonishing 95% occupancy rate in Songyang, has opened its second location in Tonglu after two years. The lowest altitude and largest scale Guoyunshan Residence is truly a game-changer. Like Xikeng Village, it is also located in the 'waist' of a valley. On clear days, a sea of clouds rises.

Anji Tianmu Mountain Rafting - Anji Section

The riverbanks are lined with lush trees, the environment is very good, and it is not very thrilling.

General's Pass Adventure Rafting - Anji Chapter

Thrilling and exciting, featuring cliffs, strange rocks, ancient bridges, flowing streams, and flying waterfalls as the characteristics of the mountain landscape.

Anji Liaru Sanshe Inn - Accommodation

Anji Liaru Sanshe Inn is located in the tea mountains and bamboo sea of Anji. It is transformed from an old local house, retaining the old-style layout while meeting modern needs. Here, the small courtyard, mountain streams, tea mountains, and bamboo sea are all natural playgrounds for visitors.

Anji Luxurious Green · Yunhai Muno Homestay - Accommodation

Anji Luxurious Green · Yunhai Muno Homestay is located in Baofu Village, Anji, at an altitude of 540 meters. It draws the celestial aura from Longwang Mountain's Ziyun Sea in the north and is meticulously designed by the renowned Hangzhou design company FUN UNIT DESIGN. The homestay features a rammed earth house and a modern building, perfectly combining delicacy and ruggedness. The homestay integrates accommodation, dining, and self-service outdoor barbecue, with free parking, complete internal facilities including air conditioning, digital TV, private bathrooms, and broadband internet. The homestay also offers mahjong and barbecue facilities. It boasts an infinity pool where guests can enjoy oxygen-rich air while admiring the endless charm of Longwang Mountain. This place is suitable for couples on vacation, family trips, and team-building activities.

Sandu Cliff Drifting - Lin'an Chapter

Sandu Cliff Drifting is built along the mountain peak and cliff, winding and undulating like a giant dragon perched in the canyon. With a suspended height of 58 meters, it is the first glass drifting built on a cliff in the country. The entire drift is 1200 meters long with a vertical drop of 68 meters from the peak, rushing straight down, riding the waves swiftly along the steep cliff, experiencing the weightlessness brought by acceleration along the steep rock wall. The glass full-view transparent design allows you to take in the canyon scenery along the way. The 360° double-layer circular spiral lets you experience the thrill and excitement of riding the waves at the mountain peak. (The open status may change, please check local information before departure.)

Hangzhou Sandu Resort Homestay - Accommodation

Hangzhou Sandu Resort Homestay's thoughtful service and top-notch facilities will make your trip to Lin'an unforgettable.

Yantou Ancient Village Rafting - Ningbo Chapter

You can see the rafting in the original village, which is quite exciting.

Ningbo Banmajia Homestay · Qixia Mountain Residence - Accommodation

You may have heard many stories about the hosts and sentiments of homestays. This time, we won't talk about sentiments, but ideals. In an era of extreme material satisfaction, sentiments can flourish everywhere, but ideals still take root in the ground and need to be watered and nurtured with action. Achieving ideals is more exhilarating than embracing small sentiments. The ideal is to create a homestay where every room offers a unique experience after years of architectural design; the ideal is that even a small homestay can provide high-star service; the ideal is not only courteous service but also warm service.
