Walking in the Earth's crevices—Ganquan Grand Canyon! Geology, exploration, hiking, photography!

Ganquan Grand Canyon, a natural wonder hailed as a cover landscape spectacle by China National Geographic magazine, has been formed over millions of years by wind and sand erosion. The Danxia landform still amazes people. The beauty of nature, after being settled over time, sleeps in the Ganquan Canyon, waiting to meet you. 🎫Ticket: 98 yuan/person, sightseeing car: 70 yuan/person.

Opening hours: Summer and autumn 8:00-16:00, winter and spring 8:30-15:00. 🛣️Travel tips: Arrive at the visitor center, buy a ticket and transfer to a scenic shuttle bus to reach the scenic area. The shuttle will take you directly to the picturesque entrance of Birch Gully. Here, you can fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Birch Gully and feel the grandeur and mystery of nature. Pay attention, the scenic area only opens two or three canyons for visitors to tour each day, and which gully is open will be announced by the ticket office on the day. The weather is very important! Be sure to choose a sunny noon to arrive, when the red sandstone shows its most charming colors under the sunlight. The best viewing time is 11:00-13:00, and it takes about 30 minutes from the visitor center to Birch Gully by scenic shuttle. The scenery of Birch Gully is particularly colorful, with water, sunlight, and moss intertwining, light and shadow changing, and colors dazzling.

Ganquan Grand Canyon, this Danxia geological wonder lost on the Loess Plateau, after tens of thousands of years of natural carving, brings you visually impactful scenery with a high photo success rate ! Come to Ganquan Grand Canyon, feel the magical charm of nature, and leave your footprints and memories!

You don't have to go to Antelope Canyon to see the Grand Canyon. It's more cost-effective.
