Gulongxia International Drifting Stadium
The Gulongxia International Drifting Track has hosted multiple international natural water rafting competitions and is designated as a drifting track by the General Administration of Sport of China. The Gulongxia International Drifting Track has a total distance of 6063 meters, a drop of 378 meters, and a speed of 72 kilometers per hour. It is divided into two stages: the "Peak Track" and the "Extreme Track". It is a drifting event in Guangdong Province with the longest track, the highest drop, and the fastest flow rate. In 2019, the world's longest natural water competition river and the world's largest natural water competition river were successfully challenged.
The Gulong Gorge rafting, known as the "roller coaster on the crest of the waves," is one of the most thrilling rafts in Guangdong. The average slope of the Gulong Gorge Drifting Track is 9.5%, surpassing the average slope of 7.5% from the world to the Grand Canyon - Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. The heart beating experience should be the "Shenlong Huishou" reach of Gulong Gorge, a 180 degree corner, similar to the grand U-shaped turn of the the Yarlung Zangbo River, with thousands of feet of walls on both sides, forming a situation where one man is in charge of the pass and ten thousand people can't open it. The high-speed gliding kayak is like a roller coaster on the tip of a wave, spinning between peaks and valleys. In a moment of uncertainty, it suddenly comes to a stop. The rubber kayak steadily jumps into a clear pool of water, calms down, and the screams seem to be still in my ears.
Due to the steep cliffs, high mountains and dense forests, towering ancient trees, and vines intertwined, the river channel of Gulong Gorge is heavily surrounded by "forest tunnels" - the primitive jungle blocks the sky and the sun, making it difficult for the drifting river to see the sky all year round. The highest annual temperature is only 22 ℃. Compared to other rafting projects that are exposed to sunlight in the summer, Gulong Gorge is the only water project in Guangdong that claims to be "sunscreen free" rafting. The main water source of the drifting river comes from the Gulong Cave in the canyon, where multiple layers of sand and shale are distributed. Multiple streams of spring water converge and flow out, with the sound of water roaring and clear and refreshing. There has been a legend of the "Gulong Mingquan" since ancient times.
Qingyuan is the hometown of drifting in China, and Gulong Gorge, as the pinnacle of Qingyuan drifting, has been praised by the industry as "looking at Qingyuan in Chinese drifting, looking at Gulong in Qingyuan drifting". The Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Technical Supervision formulates service standards for the drifting industry, which are drafted and implemented by Gulongxia. The Gulongxia Drifting River has been carefully designed by international drifting experts according to the track standards. It is one of the first standardized rivers recognized by the Provincial Technical Supervision Bureau, and its river safety has been certified by the highest authoritative institutions, China Classification Society, and Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau.
Olympic champions: Sun Shuwei, Yang Jinghui, Wu Jingyu, and others have visited the Gulongxia International Drifting Stadium for drifting multiple times. The wild drop, strong rhythm, primitive ecology, and high-quality water source of the Gulongxia Drifting Track have established a new model of Chinese drifting, recognized by the industry as the most exciting and enjoyable drifting in China. In 2019, the newly upgraded Gulong Gorge Drifting River was integrated into the Amazon tribal scene, incorporating challenges such as Gorilla Island, Crocodile Pond, and Dinosaur Valley, making it a scenario based drifting project.
Gulong Gorge Gulong Nine Waterfalls
Under the towering peaks of Wanzhang Cliff, with a height difference of nearly a kilometer, the Gulong Gorge valley is deep and serene, with springs and waterfalls cascading down. The cliff trees are slanting, and strange grass is everywhere. The primitive rainforest covers the sky and blocks the sun, making it refreshing and pleasant all year round. The characteristics of the scenery can be summarized in ten words: "Strange, Hidden, Pretty, Clever, Quiet, Broad, Shocking, Dangerous, Complete, Ancient". The canyon preserves 30 million square meters of subtropical jungle, with a forest coverage rate of 99.1%. Negative oxygen ion concentration up to 160000/cm 3， It's a big oxygen bar for washing the heart and lungs.
The Gulong Nine Waterfalls, also known as the Wanzhangya Waterfall Group, are located in the Gulong Gorge valley. They are 610 meters long and have abundant water flow throughout the year. They are the largest stepped waterfall group in China with the highest drop; As the name suggests, the Gulong Nine Waterfalls are a vast group of waterfalls composed of nine sections, with one waterfall and nine curves, one bend and one pond. The main waterfall is the Yunlong Great Waterfall, with a single drop of 131 meters (from the top of the waterfall to the bottom of the water curtain cave) and a width of 45 meters. It is like a wild dragon descending from the sky, swallowing mountains and rivers. Under the impact of cliffs and cliffs, it flies into the canyon and causes turbulent waves. The Shuanglong Waterfall, located at the entrance of the waterfall group, resembles two white dragons, with one winding all the way and the other hidden and visible, like two dragons welcoming guests. It rises against the river along the Shuanglong Waterfall, with dense forests and secluded valleys, accompanied by waterfalls. From bottom to top, there are nine tiered waterfalls including Tianlong, Canglong, Feilong, Jianlong, Raptor, Leaping Dragon, and Yunlong. Some water curtains hang, some silver beads splash, and some fly straight down.
The mysterious water curtain cave sky, unique ant castle, ancient tribal civilization, scattered dinosaur ferns on the riverbank, and giant fish released in the river valley are all eye-catching to tourists. One pond, one waterfall, one step, one scenery, with clear flowing water and clear melodies at the feet, a glass suspension bridge above the head, and beautiful legs like a forest. Strolling along a 600 meter ecological boardwalk, traversing rainforest tribes, and exploring water curtain caves, tourists arrive at the deep and green Qianlong Pool, where they can experience the stunning impact of the main waterfall - Yunlong Waterfall - from zero distance.
There is a poem that goes: "The flying waterfall on the cliff is a thousand feet long, and the cliffs support the sky and hang nine dragons." The Gulong Nine Waterfalls is the first stop for entering the glass canyon of the Gulong Gorge, which has set nine world records. It is not only an excellent tourist destination for hiking, summer vacation, and health preservation, but also a forest exploration kingdom for upstream, waterfall bathing, and water play.
