We went after the National Day holiday, which was perfect timing. The autumn scenery was stunning, and the crowds weren't too great. The water was a bit cool for the rafting trip, so I dressed warmly, including a separate raincoat and shoe covers. The current was quite fast, which was quite enjoyable. The rafting lasted almost an hour, and I barely had to paddle; I just sat in the boat drifting with the current, listening to the sound of the water and birdsong. It was truly relaxing.
After the rafting trip, we went to the deer park, which cost 50 yuan for admission and 10 yuan for feed. The scenery in the park was stunning, with mostly red maples, which complemented the deer perfectly. The deer weren't afraid of people, and I allowed close encounters whenever there was feed available. They were adorable. However, I felt the 60 yuan price was a bit pricey. Before the National Day holiday, the 50 yuan admission fee, which also included a bucket of feed, was more reasonable.
