Western Grand Canyon

The national AAAA scenic spot, surrounded by Lingshan and Xiushui, follows the unique ethnic customs of Yunnan.

Western Grand Canyon

Western Grand Canyon hot spring is a national AAAA scenic spot, located in Shuifu City, Yunnan Province

It is 32 kilometers away from Yibin City and 4 kilometers away from shuifucheng district. Jinsha River flows through the area, and the cliffs on both sides of the river are steep with lush vegetation.

Jinsha River is flowing through rich water

When Xiangjiaba was built, due to the elevation of the nearby mountains exceeding 500 meters, the Jinshajiang River, which is flowing fast and straight down, formed a Jinshajiang River Valley with "green mountains", "sharp gorge" and "dangerous water". This is the so-called Western Grand Canyon.

In February 2020, in order to thank the national medical staff for their dedication, the scenic spot implemented the free ticket preferential policy for medical workers and public security police in the national anti epidemic front line from the date of resumption of business to December 31, 2020.

The Western Grand Canyon can be divided into narrow sense and broad sense.

Narrow Grand Canyon

In a narrow sense, Western Grand Canyon refers to Shuifu city in Yunnan Province

It is 32 kilometers away from Yibin City and 4 kilometers away from Shuifu city.

When the Jinsha River flows through Shuifu Xiangjiaba, because the elevation of the mountains near Xiangjiaba is more than 500 meters, the Jinsha River, which flows fast and straight down, forms a Jinsha River Valley with "green mountains", "sharp gorge" and "dangerous water". This is the so-called Western Grand Canyon.

Generalized Grand Canyon

In a broad sense, the Western Grand Canyon refers to Qiaojia county to Shuifu city in Yunnan Province

The Jinshajiang "Grand Canyon" with a total length of more than 1300 kilometers is known as the thousand mile Grand Canyon in Western China.

It twists and turns, like a python crawling on the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau.

From Qiaojia Dayaoshan, which is 4040 meters above sea level, to Shuifu Gunkan dam, which is 267 meters above sea level, the deepest reaches 2040 meters, and the valley bottom is 50 meters to 2000 meters wide.

Canyon hot spring

Old scenic spot

At the depth of 2380 meters under the Jinshajiang Grand Canyon in the tail channel section of Shuifu dam, there is a strange spring, which was discovered by Yunnan Geological Exploration Department in 1978. According to the identification of national experts, the water temperature is as high as 85 ℃, the flow is large, and the water pressure is as high as 4.2 MPa. The spring water is rich in many trace elements, such as metasilicic acid, sulfur, lithium, bromine, selenium, hydrogen, copper, strontium, which are beneficial to human health.

Bathing in hot spring can regulate body function, promote blood circulation and metabolism, especially for various skin diseases, neuritis, diabetes, rheumatism, cold, obesity and so on.

It is a high-quality hot spring, ranking first in China.

In 1999, a company in Yibin invested a huge sum of money to build the Grand Canyon into a comprehensive tourist attraction with Yunnan ethnic characteristics, which mainly focuses on hot spring bathing, integrates leisure, vacation, entertainment and conference, and is called western Grand Canyon hot spring.

Due to its unique mountain and gorge style and good hot spring bath, the Western Grand Canyon hot spring was once known as a dazzling pearl on the tourism line of Sichuan, Yunnan and southwest China.

In 2006, with the commencement of Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station, the Western Grand Canyon hot spring was forced to move. When we came to Xiangjiaba, we saw that the third largest hydropower station in China was under construction. It is said that the first batch of units are planned to generate electricity in 2012 and will be completed in 2013.

It is understood that after the completion of Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station, the old hot spring scenic spot of the Western Grand Canyon will sink to the bottom of the river forever. In order to preserve this so-called Asia's largest open-air hot spring between Gaoxia and Pinghu, the original hot spring developer, after closing the old hot spring scenic spot of the Western Grand Canyon, spent 550 million yuan to move the hot spring to the top of the river, pumping high-quality hot spring water to the top of the river more than 300 meters above the bottom for construction This is the new hot spring scenic spot, which is located in Shuifu city

Baweicao is a new hot spring scenic spot in the Western Grand Canyon.

It is said that the new Western Grand Canyon hot spring scenic area covers an area of 1651 mu, five times larger than the original area.

The whole scenic area is composed of "one center, nine functional sections", that is, an international style bathing center, which is an international holiday entertainment center composed of nine functional sections, such as bathing, leisure, entertainment, sports, performance, catering, business, vacation and conference.
