1 hour from Nanjing, drift in the forest, cool off, and play in the water

Recently popular Maoshan Forest World is a must-visit!
Just 1 hour from Nanjing, definitely bring the kids to experience it~
It’s truly a great place to play in the water and escape the heat!

A must-do summer route: Jungle Rafting 👉 Jungle Cafe 👉 Black Magic Forest (Capybara Cafe) 👉 Little Raccoon Jungle Creek Trekking 👉 Deep Forest Deer Spotting
This route is 95% shaded, with water play everywhere and close interactions with animals.

💦 Jungle Rafting + Jungle Cafe + Little Raccoon Jungle Creek Trekking
Even a 3-year-old can enjoy the rafting.
The whole time lying on dad’s lap 🤣, no sun exposure, very cool. There are 2-3 small drops + 1 small cave, and when there are no bends, have fun with water guns 🥳
After rafting, you arrive at a creekside cafe where you can rest and play in the water.

🌳 Black Magic Forest
The entrance really feels like a magical forest from a fairy tale.
Giant magical cats and a giant whale 🐳 in the air create a great atmosphere.
The garden is full of real flowers!

Capybara Cafe is also in the forest.
You can get close to macaws 🦜, raccoons 🦝, and capybaras.
The cafe has a tropical rainforest vibe, with a shallow creek nearby where kids can play in the water to their heart’s content.

🦌 Deep Forest Deer Spotting
Inside there are peacocks, squirrels, and deer.
You’ll also pass by a fairy monster and many interesting little fairy houses.

Some tips:
☑️ You will get soaked during rafting, so be sure to bring a change of clothes.
☑️ There are more people during summer vacation; weekdays offer a better experience.
☑️ It’s very hot, so be sure to stay cool and walk with the kids in shaded areas. Night rafting has recently opened, recommended for older kids!
