This summer, go hiking in Guizhou. This place must be suitable for you.

Huizijiang Ground Crack Ecological Tourism Area is located in Longgang Town, Kaiyang County, Guiyang City. Zijiang Ground Fissure, also known as Xiaonanjiang River, has a magnificent landform with towering strange peaks. Some sections of the river are like huge splits forming ground fissures. The rushing river water condenses in a narrow crack more than one meter wide, which is spectacular and beautiful. In this upcoming hot summer, you can play in the water with a few friends, have a closer contact with the cool water and nature, say goodbye to the impetuousness of the city, or stand in the stream to wash away your fatigue and messy thoughts. Listen to the birds singing in the valley, feel the breeze blowing across your cheeks, and feel the beauty of Guizhou's unique mountains and rivers. Route instructions: Set the navigation to return to the Zijiang Ground Crack Scenic Area. Starting from Guiyang, the distance is about 75 kilometers, and under normal circumstances, the driving time is about 1 hour and 20 minutes. You will see an abandoned scenic square. If you don’t want to walk more, don’t park here. A loop map and markers will be attached at the end of the article. Stunning scenery: The Zijiang Fissure is known as the "divine vein of the earth". The towering mountains seem to have been ruthlessly split by a giant axe, forming a canyon about two to three hundred meters deep and about 9 kilometers long. It is like a beautiful scar on earth, with steep and straight stone walls rising into the clouds, which is spectacular. The surging Zijiang River flows through the canyon, and the sound of the rushing water echoes throughout the canyon, which is why the Zijiang Fissure got its name. Here you can find deep valleys, lush woods, clear streams, cascading waterfalls, winding plank roads, quaint stone bridges, as well as exotic flowers and plants competing for beauty, and birds, fish, insects and butterflies playing freely, all of which are charming sights. How can you not feel happy when you are in the gap of the canyon and enjoy the natural scenery? Route selection: 1. The large loop from the starting point to the end point is about 18 kilometers in total and is expected to take 8 hours. Along the way, you will pass broken bridges, plank roads, valleys, ancient bridges, dense forests and spectacular waterfalls. But please note that there are several collapsed sections in the middle. Although you can pass through, you must be careful. When you reach the dead end, you need to climb a mountain road with a large slope and steep path. It is not recommended to travel on rainy days! It is about 12 kilometers to the waterfall. When you reach the waterfall, you can have a picnic on the river beach next to the waterfall and swim happily in the water. You need to climb the entire distance from the waterfall to the end point, which is about 200 meters high and quite physically demanding. Fortunately, there are snacks and drinks for sale at the stone bridge halfway, and you can also take a ride on a local's motorcycle for 20 yuan per person, which saves you from climbing that headache-inducing slope of despair! 2. The return line from the final waterfall check-in point to the end point is about 6 kilometers in total. It is estimated to take 3-5 hours to hike and play and check in. This route is very suitable for beginners and can be easily and leisurely played and checked in. The difficulty of the whole journey lies in the climbing section on the return journey. Equipment preparation: - Backpack: Hiking bag, stream trekking bag or waterproof bag are all good choices. -Clothing: quick-drying clothes or jackets (long sleeves and long pants), hiking shoes or sports shoes (if you play in the water, it is recommended to bring an extra set of clothes). You can also prepare river trekking shoes. - Food: prepare meals for the trip, plenty of drinking water, and your favorite dry food, fruits, snacks, etc. -
