- Jinyao Village - Begin your day with a pleasant departure from downtown Shanghai, transitioning from the city’s towering skyscrapers to the quaint allure of Qingpu District. Upon reaching the professional kayaking club, you will meet your expert instructors. Regardless of whether you are new to kayaking or an experienced paddler, you will receive a thorough safety briefing and a technical workshop covering paddle strokes, maneuvering, and water safety.
Once you are comfortable on the water, your guide will lead you into a secluded network of waterways. Paddle through a traditional Chinese water village where life unfolds at a leisurely pace. Navigate beneath ancient stone bridges and past stilt-houses where locals continue to wash vegetables and hang laundry by the river—offering a rare, genuine glimpse into the “Old Jiangnan” lifestyle.
The highlight of the adventure is entering the “Little Amazon”—a dense, flooded forest filled with towering dawn redwoods and lush aquatic vegetation. Here, sunlight filters through the canopy, creating a shimmering green tunnel. The water remains calm, the air is cool, and the only sound is the rhythmic dip of your paddle.
