Huajiang Grand Canyon Scenic Area Observation Deck

Huajiang Grand Canyon Scenic Area Observation Deck

4.4
Huajiang Grand Canyon Scenic Area Observation Deck is located in Guanling Buyei and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, in the middle reaches of theBeipan Riverbasin, and is a great spot for overlooking the Huajiang Grand Canyon. The observation deck is situated at the entrance of the canyon, approx. 10 km from the Guanling county seat. Looking out from here, the mountains on both sides of the canyon are continuous and layered, with exposed carbonate rock layers clearly visible, recording billions of years of geological changes. The Huajiang River at the bottom of the valley is turbulent, its emerald green water winding like a ribbon, forming a sharp contrast with the steep cliffs on both banks. Because flowers bloom on both sides of the canyon throughout the seasons, and petals fall into the river like floating ribbons, it is named "Huajiang". This area belongs to a typical karst landform, with a karst area of 92%, and the canyon is approx. 80 km long, known as the crack in the Earth. The observation deck is open all day. You can stroll along the trail to the edge of the canyon to experience the incredible craftsmanship of nature up close.Guanling · 27 km from downtown

Guizhou Baling River Bridge Museum is based on bridge technology, weaving engineering wisdom and natural wonders into a unique tour experience. The main building of the museum adopts a design language that combines steel structure and glass curtain wall, forming a visual dialogue with the Baling River Bridge across the canyon. In the exhibition hall, the birth process of this 1,088-meter-long suspension bridge is vividly restored through a scaled-down bridge model, holographic images of the construction process, and interactive devices for material mechanics. The specially designed bridge wind tunnel test simulation area allows visitors to intuitively experience the application of aerodynamics in bridge design through handle operation. Among the exhibits in the collection, there are both ancient river crossing tools salvaged from the bottom of the river and original carbon fiber anchors used in modern bridges, connecting the wisdom inheritance of mankind to cross the natural moat. The outdoor viewing platform is a highlight of the museum that cannot be missed. Standing on the transparent corridor 370 meters above the river, you can observe the precise fit between the anchor structure of the bridge and the canyon rock wall, and feel the ingenious dialogue between engineering and geology. If the morning mist is just beginning to dissipate, you can see the steel cables piercing through the sea of clouds like strings, forming a dynamic picture of the symbiosis of technology and nature. There are many themed tour routes Souvenir the museum: the canyon hiking trail designed by bridge engineers uses 12 observation points to explain the scientific considerations of the bridge site selection; the bridge structure exploration project open to outdoor enthusiasts can learn about the maintenance of suspension bridges under the guidance of professionals. The adjacent Baling River low-altitude flight base provides tourists with a unique perspective to overlook the entire bridge.Guanling · 2.8 km from downtown

The Huajiang Canyon Bridge stands 625 m vertically above the river surface, serving as a benchmark cultural tourism landmark where Guizhou's super project deeply integrates with karst natural wonders. Leveraging the high bridge resources, the service area has created a mountain tourism destination combining high-altitude immersive sightseeing, bridge engineering education, and karst geological exploration. From a 625-meter cloud perspective, it unlocks the dual awe of China's bridge construction marvels and the canyon's hidden wonders. 1. Cloud ladder·fully transparent sightseeing elevator in bridge tower: Located in the south bridge tower (Zhenfeng side), it is a rare fully transparent sightseeing elevator built inside a high bridge tower in China. The elevator climbs steadily at a speed of 4 m per second, taking only 24 seconds to reach the second floor of the bridge tower approx. 625 m above the river. The fully transparent glass cabin provides an unobstructed vertical view. During the ascent, the lush vegetation at the valley bottom, the winding river in the canyon, the steel trusses of the bridge deck, and the towering structure at the tower top unfold layer by layer before your eyes. With a 100-meter abyss beneath your feet, the entire journey immerses you in the visual impact of soaring through the air. It is not only a popular "cloud ladder" check-in spot in the service area but also a step-by-step high-altitude experience. 2. Sky spine·box girder built-in sightseeing hall: A high-altitude view corridor built within the main box girder of the bridge, standing 625 m above the river surface, creating a unique sightseeing space inside the bridge. Walking through the "steel spine" of the bridge, one side features the intricate and robust steel truss structure, allowing close observation of suspension bridge components and appreciation of large-scale engineering wisdom. The other side offers panoramic windows to overlook the majestic Huajiang Grand Canyon, with rolling karst peaks and the river winding like an emerald ribbon through the mountains. The corridor also features bridge science exhibition points, providing an easy-to-understand guide on the construction process and technological breakthroughs of Guizhou's high bridges, combining sightseeing with educational insights. 3. Cloud walk·high-altitude glass hall: Located in the middle section of the box girder corridor, 625 m above the river surface, it is constructed with high-strength special laminated glass. Standing on the transparent glass floor, you can directly overlook the vast canyon abyss, with the Beipanjiang River valley and karst peak forest in full view. When clouds drift in, it feels like floating in a sea of clouds. The hall features a check-in observation deck, cultural and creative exhibition area, and high bridge post office, combining sightseeing, photography, and leisure experiences. It is the most iconic viral photo spot in the entire attraction. 4. Super project·Bridge wonder: The Huajiang Canyon Bridge itself is the core attraction of the service area, and it is also a prominent steel-truss suspension bridge with a remarkable span in China's mountainous regions. The two main towers stand on both sides of the canyon, with a km main span soaring across the sky. The two main cables bear a tensile force of tens of thousands of tons, showcasing the grandeur of a major national project. Whether viewed from afar or up close, one can feel the awe-inspiring transformation of "a natural chasm into a thoroughfare." It is a highly representative landmark in Guizhou's "Bridge Museum" and a recommended destination for engineering and photography enthusiasts.Zhenfeng · 27.8 km from Guanling

There are various ways to explore Loong Palace: you can visit just the central area and return, take a boat tour followed by hiking through Qunfang valley before continuing by boat to Loong Palace scenic area - Xuantang, or explore in reverse order. During peak season like golden week when crowds are large, the reverse route is recommended to avoid long queues of group visitors. The central attraction of Loong Palace consists of two karst cave groups, with several cave halls connected by an underground river, collectively known as the first section.Loong PalaceHe'erjinLoong PalaceYou can only enter by boat, and it usually takes about half an hour to visit.

The museum isn't far from the parking lot. After leaving the museum, you have to walk down stairs to the bridge piers, then take an elevator directly up to the bottom of the bridge deck to see the huge bridge connectors and then walk along a long passage to the other side. Unfortunately, you're blocked halfway through by unfinished construction work, so you can't complete the entire walk. Both sides are lined with wire mesh and railings. It's quite safe.

This attraction is located in the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. This attraction is probably built based on a story in Journey to the West. There are pavilions and towers, and you can walk across the pond along the small bridge. The lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, and some are about to bloom. You can rest in the pavilion, which is a good idea.

It's definitely worth it; you must climb the bridge to experience the power of our country's infrastructure. The view of the Huajiang Grand Canyon from the bridge is breathtaking. The rides on the bridge are also reasonably priced (except for bungee jumping).

Landscape features The Rhinoceros Pond is connected to the Huangguoshu Waterfall. The splashing water from the waterfall forms a calm water flow after falling, and then there is a small waterfall, and then it returns to calm and continues to flow forward. The Huangguoshu Waterfall and the Rhinoceros Pond, together with the green mountains on both sides, form a beautiful and harmonious natural picture. It is an excellent location for photographing the Huangguoshu Waterfall from the bottom up. When there is abundant rain in summer, the waterfall is majestic, and the water falls into the Rhinoceros Pond, splashing a lot of water. Under the sunshine, the magnificent beauty of the "Long Rainbow Waterfall" may appear. Tourism related

The stone houses are durable and sturdy without the need for a single brick or tile. In the Stone Village, all the stone houses are stacked up layer by layer, built against the mountain, with an orderly layout. The passages in the village and the small bridge in front of the village are all built with stones. When you come here, it feels like you have entered a stone kingdom.

The Shushengbu is the first scenic spot in the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. There are stones in the water and water in the stones, forming 365 steps, which is exactly a full year cycle. Dates are engraved on the steps, and it is estimated that every tourist will look for his or her birthday.

It's very very rubbish. I advise everyone who is planning to go there to change places as soon as possible. Let me tell you the reasons. First: the price is 3,000, which is totally not cost-effective. The gimmick is that it is 370 meters, the highest in the world. The problem is that this is the height of the bridge, and it has nothing to do with bungee jumping. Even if the bridge is 730 meters, you will still be this high when you jump down and go back. The world's first is completely a gimmick and cannot stand scrutiny. Second: The female staff at the front desk was indifferent and had a bad service attitude. She required to buy 60 insurance before jumping, and if you didn't buy it, you had to go back. Let's not talk about whether the insurance is useful for this bungee jumping. I ran so far to bungee jump, and spent thousands of dollars on road fare and gas. Do I need your 60? I just can't stand hearing this woman talk like an idiot. You publish these mandatory requirements of yours as a reminder. Do you think I will come to jump here? The bungee jumping at the nearby Aizhai Bridge is 15 meters lower and the price is 1,500 less. Which one do you think I should go to? After the jump, I was given a low-quality medal. There was no special certificate either, just a common one. I took a photo and returned it. It was totally different from the service you should get from a 3000 bungee jump. I advise other people who are going to jump to read my comments carefully. All real reviews. I jumped on January 1, 2025 at around 4 pm.

It's worth a visit, though quite tiring; we probably took the easiest route. From the visitor center, take the sightseeing bus to the scenic area entrance, then walk one kilometer along the river to Longmen Waterfall. Take the elevator up, then walk 800 meters to Tianchi for the boat tour. Take the boat into the Dragon Palace twice, but don't get off at the second entrance (from there you have to walk an hour and a half to Xuantang). Return by boat to Tianchi, then walk to the scenic area exit, then another kilometer through Buyi Town to the sightseeing bus station. Take the sightseeing bus back to the visitor center. The whole trip takes about three and a half hours.
