Introduction

The Ninong Canyon is a dry and hot valley, which is quite different from the scenery of rain erosion. The temperature here is relatively high, and it is not very cold even in winter. It is a must-pass route from Ninong to Rain Erosion, which is longer than the West Dang Hot Spring route, but the entire route is downhill and relatively comfortable. Conversely, if you enter Rain Erosion from this route, you will face uphill all the way, which is more difficult. Most of the road width is only about 1 meter, and in some places it is as narrow as 40-50cm. One side is a steep mountain peak, and the other side is a cliff. In this hiking situation, safety must be taken into account.
