Travel Tips
travelling guideline:
1. There are two options at Erdao Bridge: walk on the bridge or walk on the bridge. It is recommended to walk on the left route without crossing the bridge, which will make the tour much easier. The whole scenic area will take about 3 hours to play, and you will finally come out of Erdao Bridge. Most tourists come to Guniujiang only to play Heilongtan and Four-step Waterfall It is recommended that tourists who have time and energy can climb the mountain. It is not very high and the scenery is nice.
2. The essence of Guniujiang can be completed in about a morning. After that, you can go to Diaoyutai Village in Hengdu Town to play "Strange Pond Rafting". The water flow is relatively fast, but the water is very clear and most areas are shallow, which is quite playable. The whole rafting takes about 2 hours. Remember to prepare a change of clothes. Rafting will basically get your clothes wet. There is also a special place for changing clothes in the scenic spot, which is very convenient.
