Chinese youth have a new trend in active recreation - "cowardly rafting"

This is a "lazy" version of regular rafting: no risk, strong waves and rowing. Those who want to "swim like a sausage" put on life jackets and jump into a river with a slow current, sometimes on foam mattresses. This format was first offered to tourists in 2024, but this summer it became a real hit.

"Cowardly rafting" is ideal for those who love active recreation, but want to avoid the associated risks and dangers. The new format is especially popular with Chinese young people. The price for the entertainment is 70-90 yuan.
