Jiulong Gorge Rafting is located in Hengyang City, Hunan Province, nestled in a remote mountain valley between Goulou Peak and Baishi Peak of Nanyue Hengshan Mountain. It is 26 kilometers north of downtown Hengyang and 12 kilometers south of the core scenic area of Nanyue Hengshan.
Stretching from Miaoxi Village in Hengyang County in the upper reach to Baini Village in Hengshan County in the lower reach, the rafting course spans two counties with a total length of 5 kilometers and a total water drop of 110 meters. Legend has it that the ancient tale of Nine Dragons Controlling the Flood took place right here.
On both banks of Jiulong Gorge stand towering peaks covered by lush and elegant pine forests and graceful bamboo seas, accompanied by charming idyllic rural scenery. The rafting route is dotted with alternating deep pools and rapids, featuring nine major torrents and eighteen shoals. The rushing water surges up and down like dancing dragons, earning it the reputation as "The No.1 Rafting Destination Among China’s Five Great Mountains".
