Maling River is located in Xingyi City, a strategic point for Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou. It is 334 kilometers northeast of Guiyang and 321 kilometers west of Kunming. It originates from Baiguoling in the Wumeng Mountains. The upper reaches are called Qingshui River, and the middle reaches are called Maling River because of Mabie Dazhai and Malingzhai on both sides. Maling River has a slightly sad title - "the beautiful scar on the earth", which vividly describes the magnificence and steepness of Maling River. Maling River is more than 70 kilometers long, cutting a narrow and deep ground canyon in the plain. This structure is extremely rare in the world and is known as "the first seam in the world". The majestic and beautiful Maliang River Canyon National Scenic Spot is known as the "River of Thousands of Waterfalls" and "The Crack in the Sky and Earth". In 1993, the Maliang River "Five Rings Rafting Company" was established, pioneering rafting in the southwest.

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 · 35.3 km from downtown

The core wonder of the Sansheng Cave at Giant Mountain in Guizhou is a naturally formed 108-meter-high mountain with the profile of a giant, composed of Triassic limestone dating back 230 million years. Embedded in the rock crevices are fossils of deep-sea tubeworms forming what resemble "giant eyelashes." The cave unfolds a fantastical journey themed around "Three Lives": In the Realm of Life and Water, take a canoe through a 1.8-kilometer-long, deep blue river, where stalactite reflections resemble dancing apsaras from Dunhuang, schools of blind silver fish dart beneath the boat, and the rock walls emanate the fluorescence of millennia-old minerals; step into the Realm of Life and Light, a 30,000-square-meter domed hall where AI-powered light and shadow awaken with every step—stalactites bloom into holographic rhododendrons, a wave of the hand summons swarms of light-feathered insects from the apatite walls, and lasers project Cambrian ancient ocean constellations from the dome.Xingyi · 17.4 km from downtown

The scenery of the karst peaks is absolutely stunning. Experience the local Buyi people's cuisine and slow-paced lifestyle. Villages are scattered along both sides of the valley, with swaying trees and pastoral scenes. The distant peaks are arranged in a pleasing and varied way, making you truly appreciate the picturesque landscape and the harmonious blend of natural scenery and human life. It's definitely worth experiencing, especially the beautiful sunrise and sunset!

This card is absolutely fantastic! It includes a double ticket for three of Xingyi's most classic attractions, free parking, and is more than half the price of buying individual tickets! Plus, you can enter simply by scanning the code without any reservation – so convenient! Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to visit Wanfeng Lake.

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).

During summer vacation, I went there with my friends and their kids. We arrived early, so we found a terrace for dinner with a view of the water. There was a performance on the water in the evening. The natural scenery of mountains and water combined with the man-made architecture created a great atmosphere 👍 The only downside was that eating outdoors meant that mosquitoes were unavoidable at night, especially in a place like Guizhou with a relatively good ecological environment.

Transportation is inconvenient; you can only get back by car. The scenery along the way is nice, and you can take a boat with the elderly, but to be honest, the view of the lake from the road you drive in is more beautiful and spectacular than the view from the lake itself.

The scenery is truly stunning, and the crowds are incredibly rare. We arrived at 11:00 AM and left at 2:30 PM, and encountered fewer than three dozen tourists. There's virtually no service in the scenic area, and the fruit at the stalls is all modeled. The cable car has been closed for who knows how many centuries. The ticket price is 60 yuan, and the boat ride is 80 yuan. The value for money is truly poor. If you're looking for a less crowded and beautiful place, this is a good place. If you're looking for service and value, consider looking elsewhere.

The cave is huge; the Via Ferrata looks easy, but climbing it is actually quite challenging. The service was reliable. Our group of 22 couldn't reach the entrance by bus, so they sent six small vehicles to wait for us, very punctually. Very good.

It was a very unique experience. The service was excellent, so there was nothing to worry about. It's especially suitable for couples or children. I usually work in an office, and I felt a little tired after walking the whole way, but I was very happy.

The water quality at the dam is absolutely stunning, crystal clear and almost like a small island. The surface is calm and stable, making it easy for beginners to stand and play without worrying about capsizing. It's fully equipped with showers, a BBQ area, and excellent water play facilities. Paddleboarding under the waterfall is a must-do for Instagram-worthy photos. The instructors are patient and provide full supervision, ensuring a safe and fun experience for families. A must-visit for water activities in Xingyi!
