Dragon Gate Canyon is located in Qujiang District, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province. As one of the main attractions of the national 4A-level scenic area and national forest park—Zihui Mountain Scenic Area, it offers a comprehensive tourism experience combining landscape sightseeing, cultural immersion, and leisure vacations. Dragon Gate Canyon is a stunning attraction that combines unique peaks, bizarre rock formations, cascading waterfalls, and misty clouds, creating a landscape of danger, grandeur, wonder, beauty, and serenity. The scenic area features a volcanic rock canyon terrain, with mountains primarily composed of purple-gray blocky welded tuff. Water erosion has carved steep cliffs with slopes often exceeding 40 degrees. The canyon stretches 12.5 kilometers in length with a relative elevation difference of nearly 1,000 meters, forming a classic V-shaped valley. The area boasts 54 peaks towering over 1,000 meters above sea level, crisscrossed by ravines and dominated by winding ridges. The highest peak, Shuimenjian, stands at 1,452.8 meters, making it the tallest summit in western Zhejiang. The legend of dragons adds a mystical aura to Dragon Gate Conyon. The nine offspring of dragons each have unique traits, shaped by the distinct spiritual essence of their surroundings. The attraction is imbued with dragon traces, featuring wonders like the Dragon Palace, Dragon Bridge, Dragon Pavilion, Dragon Gate, Dragon Saliva Hot Spring, Dragon Pool Waterfall, and Flying Dragon in the Sky—making it a true epicenter of dragon culture. Dragon Gate Conyon, with its steep canyons, profound dragon culture, and abundant ecological resources, stands as the essence of Zhejiang's western landscape tourism. Dragon and Phoenix Square Its pillars are adorned with coiling dragons below and perching phoenixes above, creating a unique inverted arrangement. The couplet reads, "Regulating yin and yang, the Three Sovereigns sought profound mysteries; Weaving earth and heaven, the Five Emperors inquired into esoteric principles," with the horizontal inscription proclaiming "Red Pine Ancestral Abode." Dragon Pool Waterfall The water cascades from a cliff over 10 meters high into the Dragon Pool, creating splashing silver waves and a thunderous roar. The emerald-green pool ripples gently with crystal-clear water of remarkable purity—so dense that coins float on its surface without sinking, creating a truly magical spectacle. Flying Dragon Suspension Bridge The Flying Dragon Suspension Bridge is hailed as the "Number One Suspension Bridge in Western Zhejiang." Standing over 100 meters above the ground and stretching 108 meters in length, it is supported by 19 steel cables with sturdy wooden sleepers as its foundation, topped with thick wooden planks—both robust and spectacular. Walking across this "thread of sky" connecting two mountains offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the entire gorge.A panoramic view of the valley with vast open vistas, standing majestically atop a sea of clouds. Skywalk The core attraction of Dragon Gate Canyon - the Skywalk, stretches over 100 meters at an elevation of approximately 1,200m. Built along sheer cliffs, this engineering marvel combines 3cm-thick double-layered glass with stainless steel dragon-shaped frames, supporting up to 1 ton in weight. Stroll along the skywalk, feel your heart race, and enjoy the thrill of walking among the clouds. Soaring Across the Sky Spanning 300m and suspended between canyon cliffs at 1,000m elevation, the four reciprocating slides serve as a thrilling mountain connector. Glide down in just 5 minutes to reach the base, experiencing the adrenaline rush of high-speed aerial descent—like fulfilling a martial arts fantasy of weightless flight. This exhilarating ride offers both time efficiency and effortless descent!
