Huangteng Gorge
黄腾峡
The canyon rafting park closest to downtown Qingyuan. It also offers the Angel’s Kiss glass bridge and other attractions, and suits families and first-time rafters.
Huangteng Gorge lies in the northern part of Qingcheng District, about 20 minutes by car from downtown Qingyuan. Its main draw is ecological canyon rafting. The river channel has been artificially improved, with a moderate drop and a mix of rapids and calm stretches, which makes it more suitable for families and first-timers than Gulong Gorge. The scenic area also has a sightseeing glass bridge, canyon trails, a cluster of waterfalls and a water park. Rafting is sold separately from other attractions, and prices are as published by the scenic area. Getting there: about 30–40 minutes' drive from Qingyuan Station or Guangzhou North Station, and there are direct tourist shuttles on holidays. Rafters must wear life jackets and helmets. Bring quick-dry clothing, canyoning shoes and a change of clothes. There are many water-gun battles, so keep electronics sealed and waterproof.
