Guangdong Shaoguan Ruyuan Grand Canyon: A place that will make you linger.

The Ruyuan Grand Canyon in Shaoguan, Guangdong is a breathtaking natural landscape. Here is a detailed introduction: - Location: Ruyuan Grand Canyon is located in Dabu Town, Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, about 68 kilometers from Ruyuan County. It is the only collapsed grand canyon in South China. - History: The Grand Canyon was formed about 10 million years ago by crustal movement and water erosion. Before it was developed into a tourist attraction in 1998, few people had set foot in this mysterious canyon, except for the employees of the hydroelectric power station. - Natural Landscape: The Grand Canyon is 15 kilometers long and over 300 meters deep. The two sides are high-angle cliffs, which are very steep. The valley is full of ravines and peaks. There are many waterfalls, streams and pools, among which the most famous is Tenglong Waterfall, which plunges from a cliff of over 200 meters, creating a magnificent view. - Biodiversity: The Grand Canyon is rich in flora and fauna, including national first-class protected animals such as South China tigers, bear monkeys, clouded leopards, white pheasants and Yaoshan crocodile lizards. - Tourist Facilities: There are two-star standard guest rooms in the scenic area, and you can also stay in Ruyuan County. There are four star-rated hotels in Ruyuan County. The scenic area also has restaurants, shops and other facilities for the convenience of tourists. - Travel Guide: Tourists can choose to hike or take the sightseeing elevator to the bottom of the valley to enjoy the natural scenery of the canyon. At the bottom of the valley, tourists can stroll along the stream and experience the tranquility and beauty of nature. There are also high-altitude acrobatics shows in the scenic area, which tourists can watch at the bottom of the valley, on the ecological trail or on the mountainside. - Precautions: Due to the complex terrain of the Grand Canyon, tourists should pay attention to safety and follow the regulations of the scenic area. In addition, due to the changeable climate in the scenic area, tourists need to bring appropriate clothing and equipment in case of need. In short, the Ruyuan Grand Canyon in Shaoguan, Guangdong is a tourist destination worth visiting. It attracts many tourists with its magnificent natural landscape, rich flora and fauna, and unique geological landforms.

Guangdong Grand Canyon

Visit the Grand Canyon -- in China! Ruyuan Canyon in Shaoguan, Guangdong, also known as the Grand Canyon of Guangdong or Ruyuan Grand Canyon, is a massive gorge in Ruyuan County, a landscape completely unlike southern Guangdong. The head of the canyon features an impressive waterfall and there are many smaller falls throughout the area. Climb down a seeming eternity of steps to reach the bottom of the canyon and view the waterfall, and then hike downstream and along a box canyon before climbing back up to the top. The whole route should take 2-3 hours for fit hikers, but it's worth taking it easy and enjoying the stunning scenery. Except for the climbs down and up the gorgeside, it's an easy walk. Parts of the park have a bit of an abandoned feeling; besides there being few other hikers the day I went (mid-week) some of the park facilities are getting old. For example a funicular railway up the gorge side no longer operates (the stairs next to it are also closed now) but that was fine for me as I prefer as natural a setting as possible. There's a performance several times a day in which two stunt artists ride a bike across a tightrope over the canyon. It's well worth watching (and a bit terrifying.) There is a bus to the park from Ruyuan town (which is accessible from Shaoguan by bus), but it would be much easier to get here by car, in which case it would be an easy day trip from Guangzhou or Shenzhen. There are many other places to hike around Shaoguan, so it would also make a great weekend trip. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #hiking #waterfall #canyon #mountains #views #photography #guangdong #shaoguan #china
