Canyon trekking is very exciting

Introduction

The Pingshanhu Grand Canyon Scenic Area is located about 60 kilometers from the city center of Zhangye. The canyon is deep and the peaks are unique. Nature has depicted the colorful mountains in an unparalleled and stunning landscape. The steep cliffs and grand mountain vistas make the canyon extraordinarily dangerous. It has been praised by "Journal of Chinese Geography" and well-known geologists and tourists as a new Silk Road destination comparable to Zhangjiajie in China and the Grand Canyon in the United States! Once you step into this maze-like canyon, pass through cross-cutting valleys, and immerse yourself in the lush mountains, you will feel as if you are interacting with the creations of world architectural masters, such as the well-designed towers, grand palaces, lifelike generals, sea turtles, and sailing ships... The statues formed by birds and beasts are particularly rare in the world due to their large viewing area and strong effects.
