National Geographic didn't lie to me, this canyon is absolutely stunning!

The most beautiful rift canyon in Guangdong - Ruyuan Grand Canyon (departing weekly) Ruyuan Grand Canyon is a beautiful scar on the landscape of Guangdong, located in Dabu Town of Ruyuan County and Baluo Town of Yingde, with a total length of about 10 kilometers and a maximum depth of over 400 meters. Originally, the Grand Canyon was just a small basin in the mountain valley. Due to the influence of the Yanshan orogeny, the crust was subjected to the expansion force of the uplifted blocks, causing some blocks to crack and sink to form a rift valley. It has a history of 10 million years . 👉 Along the way, admire the magnificent canyon waterfall that plunges over 200 meters, a breathtaking sight. Challenge the steep sky ladder with 1386 stone steps, a perfect place for outdoor adventure enthusiasts 🤷‍♂️. 👉 The natural scenery here is spectacular and beautiful, with mountains , springs, waterfalls, streams , and clear pools forming a harmonious whole.

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
