Canyon View A day trip to Ganquan Grand Canyon, experience the "Valley of China Dream".

Ganquan Grand Canyon is located in Ganquan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province. It is known as the "World's Living Danxia, Valley of China Dream". Here is a guide to a day trip to Ganquan Grand Canyon:   • Preparation:   • Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a suitable day to travel. Sunny days are the best time to visit Ganquan Grand Canyon, as the sun shines directly on the valley floor, creating a beautiful interplay of light and shadow.   • Prepare comfortable sports shoes, a light backpack, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc.   • Bring enough water and snacks to replenish energy during the trip.   • Transportation:   • Self-driving: From Xi'an, take the Baomiao Expressway, drive about 300 kilometers, exit at Ganquan, and drive about 30 kilometers to reach Ganquan Grand Canyon.   • Public transportation: Take a train or long-distance bus from Xi'an to Yan'an, then take a bus from Yan'an South Bus Station to Ganquan, transfer to a bus or chartered car to the Grand Canyon in Ganquan County.   • Tour route:   • Morning: Arrive at Ganquan Grand Canyon Scenic Area, purchase tickets and enter the scenic area. You can choose to take a sightseeing bus or hike to the canyon. It is recommended to visit Longba Valley first, then Huashu Valley, to avoid crowds.   • Noon: Have lunch at a restaurant or rest area in the scenic area and take a break.   • Afternoon: Continue to visit Huashu Valley, the essence of Ganquan Grand Canyon. The scenery in the valley is very beautiful, making you feel like you are in a fairyland. After the tour, return to the entrance of the scenic area and take a sightseeing bus or chartered car back to Yan'an or Xi'an.   • Recommended attractions:   • Longba Valley: 2,500 meters long, the first 800 meters are open to the public, and the last 1,700 meters are ecological conservation areas. The valley is 10 to 20 meters high, with a wide and narrow valley floor. The narrowest point can only be passed by one person. The valley is full of green moss, with undulating textures and soft lines. The interplay of light and shadow under the sun is like a dream.   • Huashu Valley: 1,100 meters long, 15 to 25 meters high. The valley is long and winding, with a constant stream of water flowing through it. The cliffs are covered with green moss, and there are many different figurative patterns. The light and shadow are like a magical scroll, making people yearn for it. There are micro-landscapes such as "Human Ancestor Totem", "Fairy Thinking of the World", "Time Tunnel", and "Extraterrestrial Visitors", which are known as "Paradise for Photography".   • Precautions:   • The temperature in Ganquan Grand Canyon Scenic Area is relatively low, so it is recommended to bring warm clothes.   • The ground in the valley is relatively slippery, so it is recommended to wear non-slip shoes.   • The roads in the scenic area are relatively narrow, so it is recommended not to crowd and pay attention to safety.   • The environment in the scenic area is very beautiful, so it is recommended not to litter and keep the scenic area clean.

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