Strolling through the Nujiang Grand Canyon

The Nujiang Grand Canyon is located more than eighty kilometers to the northeast of Xuanwei in Puli Township. After exiting the G56 Hangrui Expressway at the Puli interchange, you can see the famous Puli Bridge by following the Baowang line. The Puli Bridge is over a thousand meters long and more than 500 meters above the valley floor, making it the world's highest bridge. By following the signs, you can drive directly to the Grand Canyon scenic area parking lot. Visitors over sixty years old enjoy free admission, and there are discounts for elevator and cable car tickets. It seems more economical for regular visitors to buy a package ticket. Once inside the Grand Canyon scenic area, if you have enough stamina, you can walk more than three kilometers along the plank road to reach the vertical elevator, and after exiting the elevator, there is a section of cableway. Both offer a bird's-eye view of the Nujiang River scenery. If you're still interested, you can also walk across the glass bridge. Then take the shuttle bus back to Parking Lot No. 1. Perhaps, the original name of the Nujiang River was 'Muddy Pig River'. The scenery in the canyon is dominated by streams and waterfalls. Near the exit, you can also try the slide. Along the way, there are enough viewing spots, rest areas, and restrooms to meet the needs, making it worth a visit when the weather is good. If you stay in Xuanwei City, you can also taste local delicacies, such as Xuanwei ham. Nujiang Grand Canyon
