[2025 Liuyang Attraction] Travel Guide for Liuyang Fenghuang Gorge Rafting (Updated Jul)

#激流 Hunan Changsha is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. This time, I will introduce a guide to rafting in Phoenix Canyon, Liuyang, Changsha. Time: It is recommended to go in the morning. It takes about an hour from Changsha. The advantage of rafting in the morning is that it is not so sunny. When rafting in Phoenix Gorge, the trees on both sides are not as dense as those in Tuolong Gorge. It is still a bit sunny, so be sure to take good sun protection. Second, protective equipment can be used dry. In the next few rounds, you can probably only use wet ones. Rafting supplies: 1. Long clothes and long pants, don’t worry about the heat, the water is very cool; 2. Mobile phone waterproof case, you can also buy it on site, you can bargain for about 15 for two; 3. Basin, which is more reliable than water scoop. Don’t bring a dung scoop. I prepared it specially this time, but I was not allowed to bring it. You don’t need to buy a water gun, it has no lethality, and it’s still laborious to pull up the water pressure. 4. Don't wear a facekini, otherwise you won't be able to breathe after getting wet. 5. If you wear contact lenses, you can prepare goggles, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable if the water gets into your eyes (and the water in Phoenix Gorge is relatively dirty). 6. You can wear sunglasses, and it is recommended to prepare ropes to tie the temples. 7. You can wear slippers, but don't listen to the vendors in the parking lot, who say that slippers are not allowed, but slippers are easy to float away. Parking: The parking lot is free. If you go in the morning, the parking area is quite large. It is also convenient to get a change of clothes from the car after rafting. Otherwise, you have to leave them at the visitor center, which is quite difficult to walk.

Located in Longfu Town, Liuyang, Hunan, Phoenix Gorge Rafting is renowned as the "most thrilling rafting experience in Eastern Hunan." Spanning a 3.8-kilometer natural river course with a drop of 198 meters, this nearly 90-minute adrenaline-pumping ride is perfect for thrill-seekers. For self-driving visitors, navigate to "Phoenix Gorge Rafting Visitor Center," which is about a 1.5-hour drive from the Chang-Zhu-Tan area. Alternatively, take a high-speed train to Liuyang North Station and transfer via shuttle bus for convenience. The rafting course is divided into two sections: the "Warrior Raft" and the "Family Raft." The first section features continuous steep slopes and S-shaped bends, while the latter has gentler waters, ideal for families. It is recommended to wear quick-dry clothing and non-slip rubber shoes. The scenic area provides helmets, life jackets, and professional coaches to accompany each raft. Along the way, there are multiple water play platforms where visitors can enjoy water fights to cool off. Important Notes: 1. Not suitable for children under 1.2 meters tall or seniors over 60 years old. 2. Store electronic devices in lockers in advance (20 RMB per locker). 3. Water temperatures are lower in the afternoon, so the morning sessions (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) are more comfortable. Nearby farmhouses offer delicious Liuyang steamed dishes, perfect for replenishing energy before heading back!
