No.1 Rafting under Heaven: Mengdong River Rafting starts from a place called Hani Palace more than ten kilometers from Wangcun Ancient Town. The pressing green, chirping birdsong, and ethereal water sounds come with the wild wind of the canyon, soaking every inch of your skin. Sunlight slips down along ancient vines covered with halberd-shaped leaves, suddenly struck by protruding cliff stones, twisting through lush branches and leaves, jumping on the river that is so green it is somewhat blue like ancient coins, shining with an ancient luster. Beaches, pebbles, mugwort, cattails, fishing songs, and wild flowing water all remind you in the simplest and most direct way: get on the rubber boat, drift toward mystery, drift toward places your thoughts have not yet reached. Baofeng Lake: The main attractions consist of two major parts: Baofeng Lake and Yingwo Village. Among them, Baofeng Lake, Qifeng Flying Waterfall, Yingwo Village, and Yixiantian are called the "Four Wonders" of Wulingyuan and are premium attractions in Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area. It is a rare high-gorge flat lake, surrounded by green mountains on four sides, with a stretch of emerald water and charming scenery. It is a masterpiece of mountain and water scenery. We boat on the emerald lake water, enjoy the beautiful Zhangjiajie mountain scenery on both banks, and listen to Tujia girls' Tujia mountain songs floating in the canyon, giving a unique charm!
