Ruyuan Grand Canyon, located in Ruyuan County, Shaoguan, Guangdong, is a rare geological wonder in South China. With its deep gorges and cascading waterfalls, it is often referred to as the "Colorado of Guangdong." If you want to fully experience the breathtaking waterfalls and rapids, this guide will help you efficiently plan your visit! Best Time to Visit The rainy season from May to September is the best time to see the waterfalls at their fullest. Mist fills the air, and the sound of rushing water is thunderous. Early morning or late afternoon offers the best lighting for photography. Avoid the harsh midday sun and aim to enter the park before 8 a.m. for fewer crowds and optimal lighting conditions. Key Viewing Routes 1. Entrance to Tongtian Ladder: Descend 1,386 stone steps along the trail, offering panoramic views of the waterfall clusters. The Tenglongtan Waterfall, resembling a silver chain, is an ideal spot for wide-angle photography. 2. Yixiantian Viewing Platform: After reaching the canyon floor, traverse the narrow gorge. Look up to see waterfalls cascading down hundred-meter cliffs. The misty spray creates an immersive experience, as if you’re inside a water curtain cave. 3. Huanglongtan Waterfall: Venture deeper to the end of the canyon to find the Huanglongtan Waterfall, which cascades in three tiers. The roaring sound of water crashing against rocks is deafening, and you can feel the refreshing spray up close. Hiking Tips The entire hike takes about two hours. Wear non-slip hiking shoes and bring a lightweight raincoat, as the waterfall areas are very misty. Some sections may be slippery during the rainy season, so hold onto the railings. For those with limited stamina, consider the "one-way hike down + cable car ride up" option to save energy. Photography Tips Use a wide-angle lens to capture the full view of the waterfalls. Long exposure shots (1/4 to 1 second) can create a misty effect on the water. A tripod is essential. The rocks on the right side of Huanglongtan Waterfall are the perfect spot for close-up shots of the rapids. Protect your camera from splashes. Important Notes • Check the weather forecast in advance, as the park may close temporarily after heavy rain. • There are no shops at the canyon floor, so bring enough water and snacks. • Respect nature and do not cross railings to get close to the rapids. The waterfalls and rapids of Ruyuan Grand Canyon are a symphony of nature’s power. Follow this guide to plan your trip, and you’re sure to enjoy a stunning visual and auditory feast!

[RedHeart] The bluestone steps appear and disappear in the mist. When I counted to the 178th level, mountain mist suddenly flooded over the cliff, and the whole world was put into a milk bottle. The moss, soaked with dew, glowed with emerald light in the mist, and the thunder of the waterfall seemed to come and go - the unit of time here is the heartbeat. [RedHeart] The red maple leaves at the corner are fading, but an hour later they solidify into flames. When the thick fog was finally torn apart by the sunlight, the phone showed it was twelve noon, and my shadow had just woken up. The Tenglong Pond at the bottom of the valley reflects the thousand-year-old vines, and translucent silver fish swim in the deep pool. Have they also experienced the singularity of time collapse? [RedHeart] At dusk, the mist once again filled the ladder to heaven, and this time I allowed myself to fall into chaos. The ferns on the stone wall are stretching their tendrils at a speed visible to the naked eye. Perhaps this is the amber of time secretly hidden by the mountain god. The sports watch in the backpack is still ticking dutifully, but who cares? As the mist licks our eyelashes, we all become accomplices of time. Game guide: 1.

The Guangdong Grand Canyon, also known as Ruyuan Grand Canyon or Yuebei Grand Canyon, is located in Dabu Town, Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, about 70 km from the Ruyuan exit of the Jingzhu Expressway. Here, a 15-kilometer-long canyon winds its way through the landscape, its 300-meter depth awe-inspiring, like a scar torn across the earth, narrating the geological changes of hundreds of millions of years. Here, the Dabu River plunges from 200-meter-high cliffs, forming magnificent waterfalls, like the Milky Way cascading from the heavens, its roar echoing through the valley, a truly breathtaking sight. Here, towering peaks, jagged rocks, and ancient trees create a stunning natural landscape painting. Every step is a scenic view, every glance a moment of wonder.

🌟 A place worth visiting. It's actually a pit. You can climb down the stone steps to the bottom of the valley to see the waterfall, and then climb back. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but it's really tiring. It took about 3 hours to complete the whole journey. The next day, my legs were sore. But the beautiful scenery is worth it. ✅About the route There are two routes through the Grand Canyon. Remember to get a map when you enter the park. We recommend taking the full route. 1. Full route (the most beautiful scenery) Ecological Landscape Trail → Yixiantian → Juxiantai → Xiannvtan → Shuijuan Village Scenic Area → Taohuatan → Yuanyangchi → Panlongtan → Waterside Platform → Rest Platform → Huanglongtan → Tenglongtan → Power Station Exhibition Room → No. 3 Viewing Platform → No. 2 Viewing Platform → No. 1 Viewing Platform → Gukou Square (3–5 hours) 2. Leisure route Gukou Square → No. 1 Viewing Platform → No. 2 Viewing Platform → No. 3 Viewing Platform → Tenglongtan → Return to Gukou Square (about 200 meters vertically, about 1–2 hours) ✅Travel tips 1️⃣ Both sunny and rainy days are very good. Rainy days are not recommended for children. Sunny days are very safe. 2️⃣ The canyon is full of glass water. You can swim, so remember to bring a change of clothes. 3️⃣ Villagers sell their own products and food at the entrance. They are cheap and good. You can try them. 4️⃣ Bring some dry food. There is nothing to eat in the canyon. 5️⃣ There are two homestays at the entrance. The environment is average. You can choose to stay in the scenic area. It will be cheaper to book on site.

There is no need to envy other cities, Shaoguan also has beautiful canyon waterfalls The Guangdong Grand Canyon is over 300 meters deep and over 600 meters wide. It was once rated as "the most beautiful place in Guangdong" by China National Geographic magazine. 📍Detailed address: For self-driving tours, navigate directly to "Guangdong Grand Canyon" and the parking lot is right at the entrance of the scenic spot. 👍Most Recommended: If you have purchased your tickets online, remember to exchange them for paper tickets at the visitor center before you can enter. Go straight after the entrance and you will reach Gukou Square, where you can watch high-altitude tightrope acrobatics performances. The high-altitude performances are held at 10:30 am every day, and at 13:00, 14:30, 16:00, and 17:30 every afternoon. I arrived at 2:30 pm and just caught up with the start of the performance. The scenic area has planned several different tour routes according to different crossing difficulties, physical requirements and landscape values. You can get a map at the visitor center, or take a photo and view it at any time: 【Complete Crossing Tour 1】About 5 km, 3-4 hours 【Complete Crossing Tour 2】About 4 km, 2.5-3 hours (Sky Ladder) [Small Crossing Tour] About 2 km, 2.5 hours (Sky Ladder) 【Gu Mian Leisure Tour 1】About 2 km, duration 1 hour 【Gu Mian Leisure Tour 2】About 1 km, duration 0.5 hours I wanted to challenge the Ladder to Heaven, so I chose the [Complete Crossing Tour 2] route, which took exactly three hours. Climbing a mountain is to go up first and then down, while crossing a canyon is to go down first and then up. The ladder to heaven is actually not that bad. After taking a break when you are tired, you can reach the surface of the valley quickly, and feel a great sense of accomplishment. It’s much easier than going down to the bottom of the valley, because the steps are higher. My legs were shaking when I was going down to the bottom of the valley. [Facepalm][Facepalm][Facepalm] There are many scenic spots on the way, including Fairy Pond, Peach Blossom Pond, Mandarin Duck Pond, Panlong Pond, Yellow Dragon Pond, and Tenglong Pond. The water is particularly green. It is much more interesting to stop and take pictures while walking, which is much more interesting than ordinary mountain climbing. It is worth coming. There is a best viewing platform on the valley surface, but I accidentally missed it [Cry] It is the best place to take pictures of the waterfall. It will be more spectacular if you come here during the flood season. ❤Recommendation reason: ⛰️: Guangdong Grand Canyon Address: Dabu Town, Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, Shaoguan City Cost per person: 6️⃣0️⃣ Business hours: 08:00-17:00 (no admission after 17:00)

There are three viewing platforms on this step road. After coming down, look at the Grand Canyon scenery at the last 3rd viewing platform🚶 . Then quickly go down the steps. After coming down a section, check in the step road. It's quite steep🧐 . Of course, more importantly, I found something interesting in a house here. Look at the name on the side. This thing is called a waterwheel machine. There is also a construction drawing. I saw this thing for the first time. It's so fun😁 . After coming down from the waterwheel machine, shuttle all the way to the bottom. At this moment, I know that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd viewing platforms are all weak. Where can they compare with the bottom of the valley?🧐 . Of course, what shocked me was not the Tenglong Waterfall, but the Rainbow Bridge hanging above the Tenglong Waterfall. How lucky I am😇 . If I remember correctly, this should be the first time I saw the Rainbow Bridge on the mountain waterfall in my life. How can I describe my mood with a shock? I started checking in before I came down from the steps, until the various angles below, I was not afraid of the wet ground, and I stayed here until the Rainbow Bridge slowly dissipated. It was still a reluctant mood, and I was still unfinished🙇...

#Fall The Ruyuan Grand Canyon, located in Dabu Town, Ruyuan County, Guangdong, is known as a beautiful scar on the Guangdong landscape. This is a canyon formed by the Yanshan orogeny, with the deepest depth reaching 400 meters. The two sides of the Grand Canyon are almost vertical cliffs. It has been raining recently, but it allows us to see the magnificent waterfall scenery. The Dabu River surges across the valley. It rushed out from the mouth of the canyon, soaring into the sky, with great momentum. Just at this moment there was sunlight, and a rainbow was seen hanging on the waterfall. From the entrance of Yitiantian, go down the slippery and steep stone stairs to the bottom of the valley, where you will see deep pools like emerald jade and breathtaking waterfalls. Due to the heavy rain, the water volume increased greatly, the waterfall was rushing rapidly, water vapor rose, and mist lingered, just like "a waterfall dropping three thousand feet straight down, as if the Milky Way falls from the sky." Our original plan was to walk up to the No. 3-1 viewing platform to get a close look at the waterfall, but the road was closed due to heavy rain. We instead climbed the Sky Ladder and walked along the kilometer-long corridor back to the valley entrance square. #GrandCanyon #GuangdongTourism

#Free VIP room change on the 27th of each month Member Day The East Guangdong Grand Canyon, located in the southwest of Fengshun County, Guangdong Province, is a very famous scenic spot in East Guangdong. The thousand-meter-high mountains, lush green forests and crisscrossing mountain streams combine to form a magnificent canyon. The East Guangdong Grand Canyon is 6.3 kilometers long and is an important scenic spot in Baxiang Mountain. Baxiang is surrounded by thousand-meter-high peaks on all sides, forming an arc-shaped mountain system, which is also a good place to climb and see the distant view. The Grand Canyon is deep and has fast-flowing waters, roaring waterfalls and springs, lush forests, and many rare plants such as ferns and orchids. It is also rich in various precious medicinal materials. It is a comprehensive resort that combines summer vacation, adventure, rafting, climbing, and tourism. It is also a good place to go in spring. It's nice to come here to climb a mountain and breathe some fresh air. It's worth a visit. Detailed address: Provincial Road 228, Xiaoxi Village, Baxiangshan Town, Fengshun County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province Ticket price: Tickets are required, about 70 yuan/person Opening hours: 8:00-17:30 As a Trip.com fan, I have used Trip Coins to redeem hotels.

Guangdong Shaoguan hides a peerless beauty, acclaimed as 'the most beautiful canyon in Guangdong', with a total length of 15 kilometers and a maximum depth of over 400 meters. It is also known as the Guangdong Grand Canyon! It is a spectacular canyon scenic area, famous for its majestic canyon landforms and crystal-clear rivers. 🚗Transportation: You can take a high-speed train🚄 directly to Shaoguan East Station, then take a taxi to the destination. Or you can drive there by yourself🚘, which is about 2.5-3 hours from Guangzhou to Ruyuan. After getting off the highway, there are eighteen bends on the mountain road, passing through many farms and bamboo forests🎋. It's very comfortable to open the windows. ⛰Sightseeing: The tickets🎫 for the Grand Canyon are unified, but they are 10 yuan more expensive on weekends. The Grand Canyon is divided into three routes. The 1️⃣st one is the full 5km journey. The 2️⃣nd is a short cross of about 2km. The 3️⃣rd route is a leisure line suitable for bringing children. Since you're here, of course, you should challenge the full route. The towering and precipitous canyon and the emerald river snuggle up to each other like a fairyland scroll🏞. Along the way, there are many waterfalls and pools, with crystal-clear spring water reflecting the rocks and trees, it's like being in a fairyland. Yunmen Mountain⛰ is also a must-visit place, as a national 4A-level tourist attraction, Yunmen Mountain is loved by tourists for its steep terrain and long history and culture. The cloud-top waterfall, nearly 200 meters high, falls straight down with a majestic and deafening force. High-altitude glass bridge: Standing on the fully transparent glass bridge, it feels like floating in the air, with a sense of walking in the clouds☁️. Little tips: There are quite a few mosquitoes🦟 in the mountains, so be sure to protect yourself against them when hiking. It's a good idea to bring some dry food🍪 and water to replenish your energy. Wear anti-slip shoes, as the full journey through the Grand Canyon is somewhat challenging, with some paths not so easy to navigate.

The Guangdong Grand Canyon is famous for its spectacular landscape and unique geological features. I took a boat trip through the canyons, admiring the towering peaks and rushing rivers. There are steep cliffs, clear streams and lush vegetation here, each exuding the charm of nature. 🏔️🚣 The Guangdong Grand Canyon is a journey through the magnificent wonders of nature. The mountains, rivers and activities here make people feel the power and beauty of nature! If you also long for a journey to interact with nature, you might as well find a suitable time to take a nature trip to the Guangdong Grand Canyon! 🏞️🌊 #Greater Bay Area must-visit check-in spots

Visit the Grand Canyon -- in China! Ruyuan Canyon in Shaoguan, Guangdong, also known as the Grand Canyon of Guangdong or Ruyuan Grand Canyon, is a massive gorge in Ruyuan County, a landscape completely unlike southern Guangdong. The head of the canyon features an impressive waterfall and there are many smaller falls throughout the area. Climb down a seeming eternity of steps to reach the bottom of the canyon and view the waterfall, and then hike downstream and along a box canyon before climbing back up to the top. The whole route should take 2-3 hours for fit hikers, but it's worth taking it easy and enjoying the stunning scenery. Except for the climbs down and up the gorgeside, it's an easy walk. Parts of the park have a bit of an abandoned feeling; besides there being few other hikers the day I went (mid-week) some of the park facilities are getting old. For example a funicular railway up the gorge side no longer operates (the stairs next to it are also closed now) but that was fine for me as I prefer as natural a setting as possible. There's a performance several times a day in which two stunt artists ride a bike across a tightrope over the canyon. It's well worth watching (and a bit terrifying.) There is a bus to the park from Ruyuan town (which is accessible from Shaoguan by bus), but it would be much easier to get here by car, in which case it would be an easy day trip from Guangzhou or Shenzhen. There are many other places to hike around Shaoguan, so it would also make a great weekend trip. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #hiking #waterfall #canyon #mountains #views #photography #guangdong #shaoguan #china
