Guizhou hides the "most beautiful scar on Earth," a nanny-level guide to Maling River Canyon

Who can resist diving into a natural 23°C air-conditioned room in summer?! Maling River Canyon, this "Earth crack" torn open by God, has waterfalls cooler than air conditioning, plank roads more thrilling than roller coasters, and is so fun I didn’t want to leave after trying it out😭 🌟 Must-Play Highlights (No-Fail Checklist) 1. Just go straight for the core sights: 72 waterfalls gathered in one valley is no exaggeration! The most photogenic is the "Galloping Horses Waterfall," where the mist hits your face like a fairyland, and wearing light-colored clothes gives your photos a natural soft light filter✨; the "Pearl Waterfall" has droplets as fine as tiny diamonds, and on sunny days you can see double rainbows—super lucky~ 2. Plank road hiking is forever the best: The plank road built along the canyon cliffs has roaring river water on one side and hanging waterfalls on the other, making every step thrilling yet super relaxing! It’s recommended to enter from the "Tianxing Gallery" entrance, where the highlights are concentrated. The whole trip takes about 3 hours, not tiring and you can fill your memory card with photos📸 3. Get the niche experience: Thrill-seekers must try kayaking! Glide through the canyon river, brushing past towering cliffs, with waterfalls cascading overhead—an amazing experience (remember to wear quick-dry clothes, you’ll get splashed) 📍 Practical Guide (Save to avoid getting lost) - Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Xingyi Station, then a 20-minute taxi directly to the scenic area; from downtown, take bus No.1, only 5 RMB per person, super convenient - Tickets: 80 RMB per person, half price for students! It’s recommended to book on Trip.com one day in advance to skip the line and enter directly - Best time to visit: June to August has the most water, making the waterfalls spectacular; September to October has fewer people, beautiful scenery, and cool weather - Outfit tips: Wear non-slip sports shoes (plank roads are wet), bring a light jacket (big temperature difference in the canyon), and definitely bring a raincoat or umbrella (waterfall mist will get your clothes wet) - Pitfall warning: Don’t buy “internal scenic area tickets” from roadside vendors—they’re fake! Prices inside the scenic area are reasonable, bottled water is 5 RMB per bottle, snacks are good value, no need to bring too much stuff Maling River Canyon is truly an underrated treasure! It’s not over-commercialized, the natural scenery is stunning, and every photo looks like a masterpiece. Whether it’s a couple’s date, a trip with girlfriends, or a family vacation, it’s perfect~ Coming here to cool off in summer is 100 times more comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room.
