Yangyushi Yalu River Rafting
羊鱼石鸭绿江漂流
A Yalu River rafting trip from Xiajiefang Village in eastern Ji'an, drifting along the border river with China on one side and North Korea on the other. It is the most distinctive summer water activity in Ji'an.
The first Yangyushi rafting site lies in Xiajiefang Village, Chengdong Subdistrict, Ji'an. The rafting section runs on the Chinese side of the Yalu River, where the open water allows close views of North Korean villages and fields across the river. Local stories are told along the way, including about the Volunteers' crossing point. The rafting season generally runs from June to August, and each trip lasts about 1 to 2 hours. Prices are as published by the site. Life jackets are required, and you should bring a change of clothes. Follow staff instructions and do not cross the middle line toward the far bank. Rafting may be suspended after rain when water levels rise. The coordinates are approximate.
