I flew all the way to Guizhou just for this most beautiful scar on Earth

Malin River Canyon, this stunning scar on the planet truly leaves one speechless. Its charm, showcased in countless online photos, is captivating, but seeing it in person is even more impressive. Because of the allure of both Malin River Canyon and Wanfenglin Scenic Area, this small city has become my favorite. I found an effortless route on Xiaohongshu, navigating to the "Malin River Dachaiwo Parking Lot," where parking costs 5 yuan. After parking, I walked to the popular photo spot on the road bridge overlooking the canyon. After taking photos, I returned to the parking lot where the visitor center and ticket office are located. We saw the official live broadcast of the scenic area on the bridge, so we bought tickets directly through the live stream—60 yuan per person. After purchasing, we scanned the code to enter the scenic area, which was very convenient. Following the signs, we started descending the stairs. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with many waterfall photo spots for visitors to check in. After walking a distance, we reached the bottom. Turning left and walking about 500 meters brought us to the "Galloping Horses" photo spot. After taking pictures, we returned the same way, passing various scenic points. At the end, we crossed another bridge to reach the elevator. The elevator costs 30 yuan per person. After going up, you arrive at the Xiaoqingshan Parking Lot. There are taxis available to return to the parking lot, but since it’s only a few hundred meters on foot, we chose to walk. The total tour time was two and a half hours, with plenty of photo opportunities along the way, all without much effort. The air in the canyon is very fresh, and the waterfalls cascade down. At the bottom, the mist is quite thick. Walking through the canyon, my eyes were completely enchanted by the scenery. Next time, I will try entering from the Xiaoqingshan entrance, take a different route, and enjoy a different view and experience. I was already looking forward to my next visit as soon as I left.
