As the temperature keeps climbing, the rafting season is coming. Tourists could enjoy the fun of river rafting in Chaotianhou and Jiuwanxi scenic spots from April 27 and 28 respectively.

　　Preparing for the rafting season of 2017, rafting scenic spots have strenuously upgraded the equipment. For example, Gaolanshan Ethnic Hotel has been built as part of the supplementary service in Chaotianhou, where family restrooms and discounters offering various specialties and necessities are also added to meet the diverse needs of tourists. New rafting boats and relevant equipment are also provided to ensure the reception; meanwhile, specialty snacks and goods with local flavors are newly added in drafting finals for convenience of tourists. In addition to the original Peach Blossom Island, the Cheery Blossom Park and the Chinese Zodiac sightseeing area are newly built along the Blossom Stream of Chaotianhou. Moreover, sightseeing bicycles are also prepared for tourists to enjoy the beauty of Chaotianhou.
