Lanying Grand Canyon is located in Yintiaoling, a national nature reserve. It is located in Lanying Township and Shuangyang Township of Wuxi County, and borders Wushan County and Shenlongjia of Hubei Province. The canyon is more than 100 kilometers long. The narrowest part of the valley bottom is only 13 meters. The average depth is more than 1,500 meters, and the deepest part is more than 2,400 meters. It is known as "the deepest valley in Asia". [OrangeHeart] Lanying Grand Canyon - with a total length of more than 50 kilometers, the highest point is 2,796.8 meters above sea level and the lowest point is 348 meters. In such a short distance, the drop is an astonishing 2,000 meters. For this reason, it is undoubtedly the deepest valley in Chongqing. The narrowest part of the canyon is only 13 meters wide, with towering cliffs on both sides and the blue sky as thin as a line, giving the impression of "one man guarding the pass against ten thousand men". [OrangeHeart] The cliff-hanging road in Lanying Township is 1,200 meters long and less than 3 meters wide. It is close to the steep cliff on one side and a deep abyss on the other. It took local villagers 4 years and 3 months to hammer and chisel it inch by inch between the cliffs with a vertical height difference of more than 1,000 meters. It ended the history of villagers climbing the cliffs to enter and exit the village, and created the spirit of road construction by splitting mountains and fighting against heaven and earth. The touching story of road carving behind it has been featured on CCTV many times, and it has quickly become an Internet celebrity road, attracting many tourists to check in. It is also praised by tourists as the road to wealth on the cliff. 📍Location: Lanying Township, Wuxi County, Chongqing There is no charge at present, and you can drive there by yourself. However, when passing by the foot of the next mountain, I found that the visitor center was being built there. When walking in the canyon, I also saw a sign for the sightseeing bus stop. It is estimated that in the future, there may be an application for scenic spot rating and charging. Although mature commercial scenic spots can provide more complete services, it is more convenient to enter freely and park at any time.
