To get to the Dadu River Jinkou Grand Canyon from Leshan, you can only take the national highway with a speed limit of 40 km/h, which is winding and full of large trucks. After entering the canyon scenic area, the national highway is still under construction, so you have to continue to climb a 6 km long simple road on the cliff, which is only wide enough for one car, and then add a 1 km long tunnel, which is also only wide enough for one car, to reach the Railway Corps Museum. For drivers from large cities in the northern plains, this drive is very exciting. On the steel cable suspension bridge (Tongxin Bridge) that crosses the canyon, you can overlook the popular water road below. The family on the other side of the bridge has built a viewing platform in their own yard (CNY 2/person, which is not unreasonable). The male owner, speaking in a not very fluent Sichuan dialect, enthusiastically points out the location for tourists to take photos, which is somewhat understandable. The Railway Corps Museum is built together with the tourist village supported by Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province, so you may feel that the tourist village has a vague sense of déjà vu with the Jiangnan farmhouse. Looking down from the museum, the Guancunba Station is still in operation. When the Chengdu-Kunming Railway was built in the 1960s, three railway soldiers sacrificed their lives for every kilometer of railway. Today, the railway and highway run parallel to each other, which may be enough to comfort the spirits of the martyrs. The difficulty of the Shu Road, Its danger is such, Why do you come from afar? The earth collapses and the mountains are crushed, and the strong men die, Only then can the turbulent and winding road to Sichuan be opened. The difficulty of the Shu Road was once more difficult than reaching the sky.

Follow 'National Geographic' on a journey to see the Jinsha River Grand Canyon, which has been rated as 'One of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Canyons in China'! And the village on the cliff—Gulu Village

Hello everyone, today I am going to recommend an absolutely unmissable tourist attraction - the only water highway in Sichuan! It has been rated as "one of the most beautiful canyons in China" by National Geographic, with picturesque scenery that makes people linger. It takes 25 hours to drive from Chengdu, and it is very smooth to travel on Sundays too! Navigation: Gulucun. Starting from Chengdu, the road is unobstructed. As soon as you enter the canyon, the water along the way is emerald green, and there is a dedicated parking lot next to it. After getting off the car, you will see a beautiful "beach". Walking up, you can overlook the entire canyon. The 2-3 hours of hiking time is a bit tight, so be sure to come and experience it next time! There are two bridges along the way, which are very worth taking photos for memory, and you can also take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the water highway. But be sure to pay attention to safety, there will be more cars on weekends. Photo spot recommendations: 1. Navigation: Gulucun, the "small beach" next to the parking lot. 2. It's more beautiful going up from Gulucun (didn't go due to time). 3. Navigation: Guancunba Bridge, you can take pictures of the S curve, and you can take pictures of the water highway from above. In short, this place is really too beautiful, and you will be shocked no matter how many times you come. If you like natural scenery and taking photos for memory, then don't miss this water highway, one of the most beautiful canyons in China! Go and feel it!

I simply can't resist such natural scenery. Just 3 hours away from Chengdu, there is such beautiful scenery. It's no wonder it's recommended by my "National Geographic" and included in the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Canyons in China" by National Geographic. It's the only waterway in Sichuan, and there must be a reason for it‼️‼️ The towering peaks on both sides of the canyon are really, really, really spectacular. I really feel how small people are in front of nature, and I really feel the "difficulty of Shu Road" (PS The text I memorized in the past will eventually form a closed loop at an unexpected moment). Please respect life and nature~ ——————Travel Guide———— Tour route: Chengdu-Gulu Village-Tongxin Bridge-Daduhe Jinkouhe Grand Canyon Recommended tour days: Two days (mainly deep tour, not tired and relaxed) 🧭Navigation: Day1⃣️: 1) Gulu Village Day2⃣️: 2) Tongxin Bridge 3) Jinkouhe Grand Canyon 🚴Transportation: Strongly recommend self-driving, public transportation here is inconvenient, and the attractions are scattered (the attractions are in a line, very suitable for self-driving, feel the waterway) Depart from Chengdu: 3h Attraction introduction⚠️Comprehensive 1) Gulu Village: 1⃣️There is a parking lot under the village (non-major holidays should be able to stop, holidays are probably hanging) so I personally recommend avoiding holidays 2⃣️Gulu Village is mainly about climbing mountains. The village is located on the mountainside and the top of the mountain🏔️. The main thing is to feel the horse road that the ancients opened up when transportation was inconvenient. The whole process is very steep, and the wind is really super super big, the kind that blows people away (maybe it's seasonal) so it's recommended to wear a hat, but the scenery along the way is worth the hardship all the way, the higher you climb, the more magnificent the scenery~ 3⃣️The whole process is not stairs, it is uphill, so it is particularly knee-consuming to go up and down the mountain~ 4⃣️P7-P13 Gulu Village shooting~ 2) Tongxin Bridge 1⃣️Navigation🧭The first village in the canyon/Dao Bing Museum, in fact, it is a village behind the canyon. You can choose to stay here for the first night. The location is convenient, the homestays are very cheap, and the shopkeepers are super super super enthusiastic~ (If you have high requirements for accommodation, it is recommended to stay in Leshan) 2⃣️Go to Tongxin Bridge to overlook the canyon, it is very magnificent, looking at the traffic on the waterway, it is really shocking~ By the way, Tongxin Bridge is also the boundary between Leshan and two mountains~ 3⃣️P2-P6 Tongxin Bridge shooting~ 3) Jinkouhe Grand Canyon 1⃣️Direct navigation to Daduhe Jinkouhe Grand Canyon Scenic Area, there is a dedicated parking lot, very convenient. 2⃣️Here you can directly see the steep cliffs on both sides of the canyon, the green river, and the waterway, which makes people have to marvel at the magic of nature 3⃣️P1 shooting point ⚠️Foreigners, Mei, 🈲️enter
