Drifting down the Shangqing Stream on a bamboo raft, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of Danxia landforms, lush forests and tranquil streams. The sounds of the flowing water, the birds and the melodic singing of raftsman along the way create a deep connection between tourists and nature.

It usually takes one and a half hours to finish the whole journey as the stream - located in northeast Taining county, Sanming city of China's Southeast Fujian province - stretches over 16 kilometers.
