Ruyuan Grand Canyon

Ruyuan Grand Canyon

Ruyuan Grand Canyon is located in Dabu Town, 68 kilometers southwest of Ruyuan County. The Grand Canyon runs through Dabu town in Shaoguan and Boro town in Yingde, with a total length of 15 kilometers and a maximum depth of more than 400 meters. The scenery along the way is beautiful.

brief introduction

Ruyuan Grand Canyon is a beautiful scar of Guangdong landform. It is located in Dabu Town, 68 kilometers southwest of Ruyuan County, Guangdong Province.

The original location of the Grand Canyon is only a small basin in the valley. Due to the influence of the Yanshan orogeny, the crust was subjected to the extensional force of the uplift of the block, and some blocks were cracked and subsided to form a rift valley, which has a history of 10 million years.

Because Ruyuan belongs to limestone landform, there are many caves in the Grand Canyon, and the genesis of limestone and red gravel is very similar, so the landform of the Grand Canyon is very similar to that of Danxia Mountain.

On both sides of the Grand Canyon are high angle cliff canyons, which are very steep. The rocks exposed in the canyon are sedimentary rocks formed more than 300 million years ago, mainly dense and hard quartzite.

The top of the Grand Canyon looks like a big city. The valley is about 600 meters wide. The tranquil Dabu river meanders from southeast to northwest. When it flows here, it suddenly soars into the sky and rushes down to form a waterfall. Its momentum is magnificent and breathtaking! There is a deep pool under the waterfall, which flows out of yingdeboro town along the Grand Canyon and into Beijiang River.

About 20 kilometers away from the Grand Canyon, there is a rare quartz sandstone cave in China - Jingfeng cave. There are many kinds of strange rocks in the cave. Compared with limestone cave, the style is very different and unique.

Four seasons in Canyon

spring

In spring, not far ahead, I suddenly see the fog rising, just like the fog in the heavenly palace. With the wind, it fluctuates, light and dense, and people appear and disappear in it. It's beautiful. Due to the heavy rain, the water volume increases greatly, and the waterfall rushes down. The huge impact makes the water vapor rise and turn into fog rising. I admire the beauty of nature, Craftsmen generally reproduce the fairyland in people's imagination.

When you come to the scene, you will be shocked by the first scene, Chengtou waterfall of Dabu river.

With its rapid pace, the torrential river is squeezed from the wide river to the narrow river which is only a few tens of meters away. The depth of the river increases and becomes more turbulent. The waves are pounding on the boulders of this section of the river. The water splashes and falls 30 to more than 10 meters. The river roars and runs. Its landscape is no less spectacular than the famous Hukou waterfall of the Yellow River, It's rare in the south.

At this time, the river narrowed again, only three meters or so, just like a big wine pool mouth. The river was surging and roaring from different falls. It was as powerful as thousands of troops. It flew down 300 meters and became a rare waterfall in China. Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a famous poem: "flying down 3000 feet, it is suspected that the Milky way is falling nine days."

It's not too much to describe the Grand Canyon. Standing on the sightseeing canal, you can have a panoramic view of the whole valley. There are clear pools at the bottom of the valley. The water flows along the valley and forms several small pools of different sizes, which are also clear.

Although both sides of the canyon are like chopping and chopping, and the cliff is steep, due to the good protection of the natural environment, it is still covered with green vegetation and trees, which makes people feel comfortable.

Regardless of the wet road surface, the tourists walk down the steep road dug by hand, and finally reach the bottom of the valley. When they look up, because of the rainy day, there is too much water, and several outlets of the canal discharge outward, which forms many waterfalls flying down. No wonder the water is rising everywhere, and the fog is misty

summer

The Grand Canyon is also beautiful in summer, and the heat does not stop tourists from paying close attention to it. When walking along the steep wall, the moist steep wall emits the faint fragrance of wild plants from time to time. Walking among the trees, it's good to rest with your back against the trees when you are tired. At the same time, with the gusts of wind, you don't feel hot.

In summer, the clear pool at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is the best place for tourists. There are clear pools of water. There are groups of tourists here to rest or play. Some tourists just jump into the water to swim and freely embrace the quiet river. They can really live a long and healthy life when they are in harmony with nature and abandon distractions.

At the bottom of the valley are waterfall pool, Huanglong pool, Xinqu pool, Yuanyang pool, peach blossom pool, Changqing pool, Qinglong pool and fairy pool.

Looking up at the clear blue sky and white clouds, although the water volume of the waterfall in summer is less, it flies gently down into the pool and is scattered by the wind from time to time to form small drops of water, but at this time, the fatigue disappears without a trace.

autumn

In autumn, the Grand Canyon is as beautiful as a girl. Because of thousands of years of weathering, some weeds, flowers and unknown shrubs grow tenaciously in a small amount of soil. From time to time, some wild flowers bloom in the East and West. The ancient pine trees root deeply in the cracks of the stone wall, break through the hard rocks, absorb the limited nutrients, and remain tall and green.

After thousands of years of wind and rain, the stone wall has left a pattern. With the casual green embellishment, when you look up from the bottom of the pool, a natural Chinese painting exhibition is now in front of you.

It's hard for any master to draw that green picture. Autumn breeze bursts, a relaxed, walking in a picturesque environment, really like a return to simplicity mountain people.

Used to living in the city, it's the best rest to go to the nature. Here, we can talk with the nature. We really envy the mountain people here, who breathe such fresh air every day.

winter

In winter, with gusts of strong wind, standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, you can hear the famous mountain wind of Dabu. Maybe there is no barrier of high mountains. The wind blows soundly and colorfully. Every time the wind blows, the sound is different. Sometimes it looks like ten thousand horses galloping and thousands of troops sweeping over, sometimes it sounds like a sound, high and low, sometimes it blows, making your heel a little unstable I only know that there will be waves in the forest area. I didn't expect that the wind in the Dabu gorge will be so strong. We have never been to the forest area, but we can also appreciate the unique waves. It's also an understanding of nature. Although it's colder in winter, the grand Canyon is still very busy because of the evergreen in the south. There is less rain in winter, and the spectacular waterfall in spring has now become There is no swift river, only a trickle. All the boulders on the beach are exposed. The mountains are still green and the water is still green. That's another kind of scenery.

Tourism process

A preliminary study of gukou

The Grand Canyon is only 4 kilometers away from Dabu town. It's a gentle drive to Dabu town. From a distance, you can only see the faint mountains. However, closer to the ground, there suddenly appeared a gap between the earth, people suddenly feel the momentum of nature.

Walking near the mouth of the valley, we can see that the distance between the two sides of the valley is different, some are more than 1000 meters, and the narrowest part is only 100 meters.

Overlooking the canyon, the cliffs and cliffs seem to be split by a sharp axe. The rocks exposed in the wind, the streams covered with valleys, and the smoky clouds in the deserted Pinglin forests have become a beautiful wound on the land of southern Guangdong.

When the water of Dabu river meanders to Chengtou section, the river flows straight down from the 200 meter high cliff gap, forming a spectacular waterfall, adding a bit of ethereal and refined atmosphere to the valley. There is less rain in winter, and the spectacular waterfall in spring and summer has now become a fine waterfall.

Down the stairs to the valley

Hikers have a "ladder complex" in their hearts. This 1386 stone step with a slope of 50 degrees can reach the bottom of the valley, which is as high as 86 stories.

There is neither a bend nor a platform in the middle, and the straight hanging rock wall is more steep, which is the place to really stimulate the potential.

If you are not strong enough, there is also a way to be lazy, that is, take the cable car straight down the valley. But generally, those who want to challenge themselves will choose to go down the valley along the stairs.

There are many scenic spots along the way - Luotuofeng, jinguiyan, shuangshibaike, Linggui Heshou, Shihou Yingbin, songcaitong There are more than 20 stone scenes here, which leave many beautiful legends among the people.

It's just that the drop of more than 40 degrees on the steps makes the small steps irresistible. At this time, regardless of the beautiful scenery around, there is no time to take care of, just trembling to grasp the railing.

Once in a while, he stopped to look up and look down at the bottom of the valley. It was magnificent and dangerous, which dazzled people. He raised his feet again, but his legs began to tremble.

Walking down the valley

When you go down to the bottom of the valley and look up, you only feel trapped in the dangerous cliffs, and the deep canyon becomes very mysterious. It is said that in the early morning or after rain, there will be clouds rising from the bottom of the valley and gradually drifting upward. In the clear space, there will be wisps of Wonderland. The beauty of that room often tempts the donkey friends to go there early in the morning.

Wandering in the valley, you can still see the landscape of quartz sandstone formed by geological changes and water flow cutting. Huanglong lake, Taohua lake, Changqing lake, fairy lake With their own independent posture, inlaid at the bottom of the valley, waterfalls and flowing springs turn with the mountain.

In addition to the main scenic trails, the tourists prefer the shuijuan village scenic spot, which visitors will skip when they visit. It's a bit like exploring. Therefore, the film "blue blood sword" should be shot here.
