A geological miracle hidden in the Loess Plateau - Ganquan Grand Canyon I have always believed that nature is the most powerful artist, until I walked into the Ganquan Grand Canyon.

A geological miracle hidden in the Loess Plateau - Ganquan Grand Canyon I have always believed that nature is the most powerful artist, and this feeling became stronger until I walked into the Ganquan Grand Canyon. Last summer, I finally arrived at the Ganquan Grand Canyon in Yucha Village, Ganquan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi. As soon as I got off the car, I was shocked by the scene before me. This place looks like it was carefully carved by nature with a sharp chisel. 120 canyons of various shapes meander across the Loess Plateau, so spectacular that one can't take their eyes away. Walking into the canyon, it feels like stepping into a magical world of light and shadow. The sunlight shines obliquely through the narrow gap above the head, jumping and flowing on the rock walls of various shapes. The originally gray rock walls, under the outline of light, show rich colors and unique textures, some like waves, some like whirlpools. Compared with the Antelope Canyon in the United States, it is in no way inferior and deserves the reputation of "The World's Living Danxia, ​​China's Dream Valley". Walking slowly along the path in the canyon, lightly touching the cold rock walls with your fingertips, you can feel the traces left by millions of years. The only sounds in my ears were the gurgling water and my own footsteps. That quietness made my heart calm as well. If you also want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and have a deep dialogue with nature, you might as well come to Ganquan Grand Canyon. I believe that every inch of rock wall and every beam of light and shadow here will make your trip worthwhile.
