Rise of 'painless' tourism in China reshapes travel experience

From slowly descending from a reduced-speed bungee platform to drifting along gentle rivers via an inflatable vest, the emergence of "painless" tourism, a new trend lauded by many for offering stress-free ways to cut loose, has quietly redefined the way tourists venture outdoors.　

Rafting, which is usually associated with adrenaline-pumping thrills, has been revamped by east China's Zhejiang　Province with the launch of its "wimpy　rafting" option. In this laid-back experience, participants, donning essential safety gear, can simply lie flat, allowing the gentle current of the river to carry them along.　

The success of "wimpy rafting" has inspired other similar projects, signaling a broader shift toward more relaxed outdoor adventures.
