Venture into a canyon formed billions of years ago

1.5 hours from Zhengzhou｜Look up to see the distinctly layered ochre-red cliff walls Look down to find emerald-colored pools Sunlight filters through the cliff crevices The entire canyon seems wrapped in a soft light filter The ripples on the cliff walls are traces from billions of years ago Every step feels like walking through a "geological gallery"～ 📍Hongshi Gorge, Yuntai Mountain, Jiaozuo 📋 Tips: ▪️ The whole route is along cliffside plank roads and stone paths, beginner-friendly ▪️ It takes about 1.5 hours without backtracking; wear non-slip shoes (some stone paths can be a bit wet) ▪️ Visit when the midday sun shines into the canyon, creating flowing light and shadow on the water surface ▪️ Outdoor wear, especially bright-colored jackets, makes for great photos ▪️ Xiazhai Valley’s Spring Waterfall Gorge and Pool Waterfall Gorge are also great for hiking
