Traveling in Guizhou (8) Maling River Canyon

After noon, we came out of Shuangrufeng Scenic Area and continued to the southwest, aiming for Xingyi.

Huangguoshu is famous all over the world. Of course I already knew that the Shuangrufeng Peak in the morning was found through the guide. However, I didn’t know about these two scenic spots in Xingyi in advance. I didn’t know where my wife saw it.

After driving for 1.5 hours, we entered the city from Wanfenglin Avenue. As soon as we entered the city, we discovered the entrance to the Maling River Canyon and immediately parked and entered.

The entrance is not big, and its name is "Dachaiwo". I don't know how it was named in the first place.

After entering, there were long steps down the mountain, and I understood why this place is called a canyon. The so-called canyon is a large crack in the flat ground. The Maling River Canyon is 50-150 meters wide and 120-280 meters deep. Looking from top to bottom, it is a crack in the ground, and looking from bottom to top, it is a line of gutter. Because the valley is not wide, it is not difficult to see the other side from here.

The waterfall on the opposite side of the canyon. I later learned that this canyon waterfall is unique, with hundreds of large and small waterfalls.

Go down to the bottom of the valley and take pictures of the bridge over the canyon in the distance. I drove over that bridge.

The canyon is a basically north-south crack, and the entrance we entered is in the middle.

After descending to the bottom of the valley, walk north and enjoy various waterfalls along the way.

The northernmost waterfall group has a viewing platform in front.

After reading the north side, I went south again.

The path for tourists to pass on the opposite side of the canyon is cut out of the cliff.

I also walked along this road here. Although the weather was very hot, it was still very cool down there.

You need to hold an umbrella to pass under this long waterfall.

It's closer to the highway bridge above.

Go to the end and walk back around to the other side of the canyon. I also saw an elevator here. It turns out that this end is the main entrance of the scenic spot. The entrance I took was a small entrance. I had to walk down by myself. But because the car was still parked above, I had to walk up by myself.

There is a lot of contrast in places with and without light, making it difficult to take pictures.

It was later discovered that this photo was the photo printed on the ticket to the scenic spot . This canyon is a paradise for photography enthusiasts, and countless enthusiasts take photos here every day.

It was really tiring to walk up again. After finding the car, we went into Xingyi City to find the hotel we booked, because the hotel parking lot is underground and the entrance is in a small alley. I searched carefully for several times before I found it. After entering the room, I discovered that this new hotel is the one with the best conditions we have stayed in these days.

I got together with a local friend in the evening and heard that I went to the canyon. At that time, he wanted to see the photos I took. It turned out that he was also a photography enthusiast and often went to take pictures of the canyon due to the convenient location. We experienced the local food, had a drink with our friends, and returned home happily! !
