Sanmingzhaixia Grand Canyon｜Danxia is beautiful, but beware of snakes

The Zhaixia Grand Canyon is composed of three canyons connected end to end, forming a ring-shaped triangle. It looks like a golden dragon curled up in the mountains, so it is also called the Golden Dragon Valley. It is also the first geological research route built in Taining. United Nations experts call it "a model scenic spot of the World Geopark". 🎡Visiting experience🎡 After a personal tour, I feel that the Grand Canyon does not look very impressive. I feel that there are various large cliffs or small canyon gaps. There is no intuitive feeling of a "big" canyon. You may need to take aerial photography with a drone🙈 But it is true that the Zhaixia Grand Canyon is an excellent place to appreciate the Danxia landform, with typical red cliffs, caves, lane valleys, line valleys and barrier lakes. We visited Dajin Lake, Jiulong Pond, Shangqing Creek, Maoer Mountain and other scenic spots in depth before coming to Zhaixia Grand Canyon. We feel that it is the best scenic spot in terms of geological attributes and ornamental value. ❤️Recommended attractions❤️ 1⃣Tianqiong Rock, at the top of the overhanging red cliff, there is a concave rock with a diameter of about 20 meters. Inside, there are hundreds of Danxia caves of different sizes and shapes. Large caves are surrounded by small caves. There are holes in the caves, hanging high above the head. It forms a strange dome. 2⃣Yunyaling, a large vertical red rock leaning on the large black rock cliff on the right, looks very spectacular and should be the facade of the Zhaixia Grand Canyon. 3⃣ Barrier lake, go over Yunyiling and you will find the barrier lake. Surprisingly, a lake full of green is formed behind the big cliff. 💚Travel guide💚 Tickets are 55 yuan, parking is 10 yuan. 🚸The hiking route is actually more than 4 kilometers, and it takes about 3 hours to walk and play. It is not difficult. There is only a short section climbing to the barrier lake halfway up the mountain, where there is the only canteen. Also, watch out for baby snakes 🐍, which suddenly appear on the road
