I found the entrance to the underwater world in Shaanxi!

I have heard of my name, Yucha Grand Canyon (alias Ganquan Grand Canyon, actually the same place), located in Ganquan County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province, and finally have time to see the real face.

The wavy silky shape, like the trace left by the wind, the turquoise rock wall winding into the distance, layer upon layer! At this moment, I feel like a fish in an underwater canyon.

I didn't go abroad! I didn't expect such amazing canyon landforms in China! All my friends think I went to the Antelope Valley!
But this is really at home! It's in Shaanxi! In Shaanxi! Carved by tens of thousands of years of rain and wind, the canyon has a wavy silky shape, like the trail left by the wind, and the colorful rock walls wind away from the distance, layer upon layer!

Into the canyon, looking up, into the eyes are covered with moss rock walls, really too pleasant! At this moment, I feel like I'm in an underwater canyon!

📍 Place: Yucha Grand Canyon, Yan 'an, Shaanxi Province
🗺️ Add: Yuchagou, Xiasiwan Town, Ganquan County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province
⏰ Duration: about 4 hours

Guidelines are recommended to sunny days, and to 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the best light time, only the most out.

Unfortunately, as soon as the car arrived in Yan 'an, it began to rain, and it did not stop raining at all. All the way and friends to do the construction of the heart, reduce expectations, more than four hours from Xi 'an finally arrived at the scenic spot, fortunately, the rain gradually smaller, vaguely clear, this only heard that the morning canyon did not open, the morning of tourists are sorry to return, but considering the danger after the rain, the afternoon can only visit a scenic spot in Huashigou.

Jing took the bus for twenty minutes and arrived at the Birch Ditch. A into the mouth, is a dense mist, diffuse transpiration, even hot summer, also feel cold.

Birchen Gully is 1,100 meters long, the rock walls are covered with moss, and the wet rock walls are opposite. Looking up, the sky is so narrow and distant.

On rainy days, the moss is more blue, the rock walls are silent, and one or two frogs are seen creeping slowly on the ground. Although there are not many tourists in the rainy day, the canyon is full of praise one after another, praising the uncanny workmanship of nature. I am also surprised that there will be such a strange scenery in Yan 'an, northern Shaanxi.

What is comparable to the Antelope Valley's advertising slogan, this is clearly our China's earth on the Loess Plateau unique underground Danxia - Yucha Canyon. Different from Danxia landform in northwest China, it is a landscape formed by wind and water erosion for thousands of years under the ground. It is impossible to discover and enjoy such beauty without going deep underground.

Birch ditch out, the tour guide excitedly said that the line and Longba ditch can also go, hurried to speed up the pace. Longba Valley in the deepest part of the Grand Canyon, a total length of 2,500 meters, the first 800 meters for open tourist areas, the last 1,700 meters are still under construction. The tour time of Longba ditch is about 30-40 minutes, the canyon temperature is about 6-8 degrees lower than the ground, and it is most suitable to play in summer.


The one-line sky is located in the middle of the gate of the Longba Ditch return scenic spot, the tour time is 10-20 minutes, adjacent to the Peony Ditch. Because the two mountains are very close to each other, the narrow place is named after only one person.

Visit the whole canyon, about 3 hours, birch ditch + Longba ditch + one line, very complete, worth the trip. At present, Yucha Grand Canyon has been listed as a shooting place for China's National Geographic magazine, so come and experience it as soon as possible before it becomes the next hot spot.

There are many different gullies in the Grand Canyon of Oasis, and these photos were taken in Birch Gully. To enter, you can take a sightseeing car to visit a ditch, or you can choose the ditch you want to go directly to.

The whole canyon is very colorful, in addition to this section of the route like matcha melaleuca, there are other colors comparable to the Antelope Valley in the United States of America, because of the rain, the rock wall wet moss coverage is high, I especially like!
