West Zhejiang Grand Canyon

West Zhejiang Grand Canyon

West Zhejiang Grand Canyon is located in Qingliangfeng National Nature Reserve, Lin'an District, Hangzhou City, bordering Zhejiang and Anhui. Located in the northwest of Zhejiang Province, it is called "West Zhejiang". In the valley, the mountains are high and the water is urgent. The mountain is the extension of Huangshan Mountain, and the water is the source of Qiantang River water system. The narrow valley is 83 km in length. Along the way, there are flowers and trees all over the place. The landform is unique. The peaks and rocks "grow" on the cliffs on both sides of the gorge. It has the reputation of "white horse comes out of the rock, and cattle plough on the wall". Compared with the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, it has a different poetic and picturesque taste.

Main attractions

White cliffs

Baima cliff scenic spot is located in Shangping village pit, only 3.5 km away from Shixiang Bay scenic spot. There is a horse head peak in the scenic spot, which is like a giant horse, so it is called Baima cliff scenic spot.

The scenic spot is supported by the Pingxi river. Along the river, there are trails around the mountains. Along the way, you can see many rock peaks, cliffs, rocks and waterfalls.

The main landscapes are: judingshi, Fenghuang Valley, baizhangjian, Yinhe waterfall, etc.

Because of the deep and steep valley wall, tree shade, called the horror Valley, and because of the small and exquisite, canyon landform is more typical, some people call it Valley bonsai.

Originally operated by another company, the scenic spot was acquired and merged by Zhexi Grand Canyon company in early 2002.

Laoduixi

It's a beach at the intersection of two streams. It used to be a place for local farmers to build water pestles. At one time, there were dozens of water pestles, forming a variety of water piles. This beach is also called duixi.

Due to the change of grain processing to electric machinery, rice milling with water wheel has become a history.

The water pestle on the stream pestle also became ruins.

Now it has been turned into a tourist area. On the basis of the original water pestles group, some farm water pestles have been rebuilt for tourists to watch. The main scenery here is the stone in the river which looks like the bow of a boat.

The highest part of the stone is nearly 10 meters long and nearly 20 meters long. It looks like a red flag in the West and a giant ship sailing into the sea in the front. It is very beautiful. The terrain here is relatively flat and it is a rare open place in the canyon.

Now we have restored the old water pestle, old oil tanker, old ash stove and other facilities, and set up Scarecrow square, classical carpentry factory, natural foot bath center and so on.

Cormorant pool

The first scenic spot to enter the canyon. This is the place where cormorants used to live in the past. The main scene is Wangqing lake on the west side of Shantian bridge. The Qingyu hill near the lake has been eroded by the current and is full of holes.

There is a white Pavilion leaning on the green pillow on the hilltop. Along the hilltop, there are many sceneries, such as lying cormorant stone, calling cormorant Pavilion and feibai cave, in the cormorant Bay.

There are BAISHIYAN and SHIZIKOU, which are known as gold lettered signboards in the mountains on the other side of the river. You can go down the river by bamboo rafts and cross the Shantian bridge to see the traditional fragrant powder pestles used by local people.

An ancient tomb has recently been found 500 meters to the west of qingyugang. According to research, it is a memorial tomb built by the local Liu people for Liu Bowen, and is now under construction.

Diaoshuiyan: to enter the Grand Canyon, we are good at stone scenery.

It is said that when Liu Bowen's troops were besieged at the top of the mountain, they put down buckets from the rocks in the back of the mountain and hydrolyzed thirst from the streams and pools.

Surrounded by mountains and rocks, Changbei river passes through the rocks, with many cliffs and rocks.

The main stones for tourists to watch are: diaoshui rock in front of the road, three monks crying buckets, rhinoceros head, animal escape stone; Banping rock, stone Tathagata, phoenix egg, T-shaped waterfall and stone turret known as the eternal mystery behind the road.

The stone turret is located on the top of the cliff at the waist of the mountain. It is nearly nine meters high and is made of hundreds of rocks.

Folklore is a fortification built by ancient mountain people to deal with robbers entering the mountain. Once the robbers enter the mountain, the mountain people will push down the stone tower and beat back the robbers with rolling stones.

The stone pagoda is built on the top of the cliff. The big stones weigh several tons. What magic power or loading machinery did the ancient mountain people have to pile up these stones? This is a mystery for thousands of years. Tourists who can solve this mystery may as well have a try.
