Composition of the Yellow River Grand Canyon in Zhungeer Banner

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the "roof of the world", steep and deep, with an average elevation of more than 3,000 meters. It has nine vertical natural zones, from high mountain ice and snow to tropical intraseasonal rain forests in low valleys. It is the most complete and complete place in the world, which has gathered many biological resources, including two-thirds of the known higher plant species and known mammals on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon embraces the mountains in the Nangarbawa peak area and is frozen and frozen. It splits the mountain barrier between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Indian Ocean, like a long wet tongue, and continuously transports water vapor into the plateau, making the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau a green world. The steepest and core section of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is about 100 km long from Baimaxiong. The canyon is so deep and turbulent that no one can cross it so far. Its difficulty and danger can be called "the last secret of mankind". Due to the harsh environment and frequent disasters in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, it is difficult for people to cross barriers and gaps. Due to backwardness and occlusion, Medog has become an "island" on the plateau, far from the "Xanadu" of modern society, and few people have set foot on it so far. From 65438 to 0994, China scientists formed a scientific investigation team to investigate the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, and the mystery of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon was unveiled.

There are six routes to enter the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon:

The first route: Paiqu in Milin County-Duoxiongla-Nage-Hanmi-Manon-back collapse. This is a traditional avenue, and it is also a road from the plateau on the northern slope of the Himalayas to the lower valley of the Grand Canyon. It usually takes three days to walk, and the middle area has to cross the Doxiongla Pass at an altitude of about 4,200 meters, and all the way downhill from Nag to Hanmi and Manon. Among them, in the Hukou area under Khan, the mountain road hangs on a steep cliff, which is very steep and difficult to walk. Traffic accidents have been here over the years. Starting from Manon, we crossed the steel frame suspension bridge and reached the collapse area on the other side. The altitude dropped to about 700 meters.

The second route: Starting from Paiqu, Milin County, passing through Daduka and Gejia to Galla, and going downstream into the path of the Grand Canyon. There is no escape from Gallas to no man's land. Walking along the river for about a week can reach Baimaxiong, which is full of knife-like bedrock steep walls. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the traditional way was to go up the mountain from Baimaxiong, leave the canyon along a branch ditch, go straight down through Xixing Lashankou (4400 meters above sea level), reach the Grand Canyon, enter Lugu Village by the river after a big bend, cross the zip line to Gandai (east coast), and heat the pizza area from Gandai to Medog.

The third route: Go down from Pa Uplift of Sichuan-Tibet Highway and along the valley in the lower reaches of Palong Zangbo River. The three-day Roman Avenue can go directly to Zhaqu Village at the top of the Grand Canyon, cross the newly-built Tiesuo Bridge (formerly Liusuo) to reach Bo, leave the Grand Canyon, pass through it, all the way through the virgin forest and mountain ridge, and in three days, you can go to Bayu Village on the river below the bend of the Grand Canyon, and then pass through Lugu, Gandai and heating to Medog.

The fourth route: start from bomi county's hometown, cross the lake of Palangzangbu River, go up the mountain, cross Suila Pass (about 4,400 meters above sea level), go southwest, and go straight to the heating area by the Grand Canyon. The mountain road twists and turns along the way, and the journey takes three days.

The fifth route: southbound from Zhamu Town, bomi county, along the northern bend of Galongla, across the Galongla Pass at an altitude of 4,200 meters, down to the southwest, along the Galongla South River, passing through 64 kilometers and 86 kilometers ("64 kilometers" and "86 kilometers" are the special names of the upper sections of Bomi Highway, also known as grades 64 and 86, and reaching Damu on one side of the Grand Canyon. This line has been repaired many times, and the pedestrian path is easy to walk. In the mountain season, you can even drive along the highway to 63 kilometers. If all goes well, it usually takes two days to enter the Grand Canyon and reach Medog.

The sixth route: not far from Bomi to the east, reach Xing, cross the source of Palong Zangbo River along Daxing River, cross Jinzhulaguan on Panshan trail (5030 meters above sea level), cross Jinzhulau and descend along the curve, cross the violin to () area, and cross Maidan Mountain and the Grand Canyon River from the area. It usually takes four or five days to walk.

Second, the Tiger Leaping Gorge in Jinsha River

Tiger Leaping Gorge in Jinsha River is located between Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan and Haba Snow Mountain in Diqing, with a total length of15km and a drop of nearly 200m. The roaring river is a world-famous Grand Canyon, which many tourists yearn for. China News Service reporter: Najiaxuan

Third, Nujiang Grand Canyon.

The Nujiang River originates at the southern foot of Tanggula in Qinghai, flows through Tibet and Yunnan, crosses the Myanmar border and finally flows into the Indian Ocean. Yunnan Nujiang River flows between Gaoligong Mountain and Robbie Snow Mountain, and most of the two mountains are at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 meters.

.

The Nujiang River bed is only about 800 meters above sea level, and the difference between the valley and the top of the mountain is 3000-4000 meters, forming the famous Nujiang Grand Canyon.

On both sides of the Nujiang River, there are mountains, steep cliffs and rugged rocks, and many banks are vertical stone walls. Ethnic minorities such as Lisu, Nu, Dulong, Lemo and Tibetan live in Lushui, Fugong and Gongshan counties along the Nujiang River.

It is said that the Nujiang River is named after the deep valley and the roaring sound of water. I also heard that the Nujiang River got its name because there were angry immigrants living on both sides of the Nujiang River in ancient times. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's famous "Hump Route" passed through here, and in 1997, the wreckage of a Flying Tigers plane was found.

From Kunming to the northwest, take a bus with a ticket of about 100 yuan, and the journey is 638 kilometers, that is, to Liuku Town, where Nujiang Prefecture is located, which is a characteristic riverside city. Go upstream along the Nujiang River that passes through the city, or go in along the Dulong River and Lancang River flowing in Nujiang Prefecture. Along the slope along the river, you can see ethnic minority villages and "thousands of feet" houses tied with bamboo poles and wood.

Bingzhongluo is in the north of Liuku, northeast of Gongshan County, and the famous First Bay of Nujiang River is nearby. Robbie Snow Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and a large area of virgin forest is dense and lush, where many ethnic groups such as Nu, Lisu, Tibetan and Dulong live. Speaking of folk customs, it is even more simple and natural.

Fourth, the Lancang River Grand Canyon

Lancanghui River flows through Qinghai, Tibet and Yunnan, enters Myanmar, and the flow in Deqin County of Diqing County is 150km. This section of the river is 2006 meters above sea level, and the elevation of Kagebu Peak is 6740 meters, and the height difference of the valley is above 4734 meters. The slope distance from the river surface to the peak is 14kM, with an average increase of 337 meters per kM. The canyon has a nearly vertical slope.

The Lancang Grand Canyon is famous not only for its deep and long canyons, but also for its swift rivers. Winter is clear and swift, and summer is turbid and turbulent. The annual runoff of this river is 838 million cubic meters. In the flow length of l50km, the drop is 504m, and the specific drop is 3.4%. On the narrow river, the wild waves beat on the shore, and the sound of water thundered, which was very spectacular. Such a steep ravine terrain and such a strange and wonderful geographical structure are really rare in the world.

Faced with this torrent, mankind has tried to open a boat on this river for thousands of years.

Five, Taroko Grand Canyon

Taroko Canyon, a famous tourist attraction in Taiwan Province Province, is located 20 kilometers northwest of Hualien County in the east of Taiwan Province Province and is a part of Taroko Park. On both sides of the cliff Wan Ren, Qifeng inserted into the sky; The mountains are steep and the rocks are steep; Streams in the valley, winding waters and quiet springs, have the continuous momentum of the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and are known as the Three Gorges of Bao Dao and the crown of the eight scenic spots in Bao Dao.

Taroko comes from the Atayal word "Luge", which means barrel. The terrain here is dangerous and has been used as a battlefield for many times. Stone bunkers can be seen everywhere, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is like an iron bucket, so it is called "Luge", usually called Taroko.

The first sight of entering the canyon is called "Tai Lu Changchun", which combines cliffs, temples, streams and waterfalls with charming scenery. Changchun Temple built in memory of 14 1 workers who died on Zhongheng Highway is very eye-catching, with yellow tiles and red columns. It is located under the cliff on the other side of Wu Li Highway, and there is a waterfall next to the temple. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery around Wuli River.

After entering the deep valley from Changchun Temple, we bypassed the huge cliff by the stream, and suddenly a huge cliff standing on the Wan Ren appeared in front of us. People call it "screen rock". Both sides of the cliff are perpendicular to the stone wall, and there is no way to pass, only drilling rocks to take the road. In order to get light, people cut through the cliff on one side of the tunnel and open the window to get light. There are many windows along the way, the project is huge, difficult and rare.

Yanzikou, there is also a Yanzixi, named after the swallows nest in the cave. In spring, there is a moving landscape of "Hundred Swallows Singing in Spring".

Entering Yingbin Gorge is the steepest section of Zhongheng Highway-Cone Deer Tunnel. This is a world-famous all-marble cliff with a height of 1, 660 meters. It faces the abyss, and it is called "Cone Deer Cliff". Engineers cut grooves in the cracks in the cliff along the stream and embedded the road in the rock cliff, which was extremely steep. This is a sign that human wisdom and strength have overcome nature.

The most spectacular part of Taroko Gorge is the "tiger's mouth in the sky". The cliff here is next to the residual wall. People in the gorge can only see three cliffs, and when they look up, they can only see the valley and the sky. Because the canyon fracture line is irregular, the dangerous cliffs are jagged and turn left and right, so the tunnels that have been drilled into the rock belly one after another, such as the zigzag ileum, are called "zigzag caves", with a great spectacle in the middle.

Tianxiang, the most beautiful scenic spot in Taroko Gorge, is also an important scenic spot in Hualien. This used to be the residence of Atayal people. After the development of Zhongheng Highway, in order to commemorate Wen Tianxiang, Wen Tianxiang statue and park were built and renamed Tianxiang. There are Meiyuan and Fuyuan, and there are magnificent landscapes such as Xiangde Temple, Seven Ancient Pagodas and Red Suspension Bridge.

Six, the Yellow River Shanxi Grand Canyon

The Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon of the Yellow River starts from Tuoketuo, Inner Mongolia in the north and ends at Yumenkou, Hejin in the south, with a total length of 725 kilometers. There are 27 counties and cities along the line, covering an area of 1 1. 16000 square kilometers.

The Jinmeng Grand Canyon of the Yellow River is bordered by the vast and majestic Ordos Plateau in the west, the mountainous area of northern Shanxi with undulating borders in the east, the yinshan mountains in the north and Shanxi-Shaanxi Canyon in the south. The banks of the Yellow River Grand Canyon are rich in tourism resources, numerous cultural relics and historic sites, beautiful natural and cultural landscapes and profound historical and cultural heritage. Nature's ingenuity has created cliffs on both sides of the Grand Canyon, with beautiful peaks, picturesque scenery and vast smoke waves. Known as the Little Three Gorges in the North. Located in the middle temperate zone, the Grand Canyon has a temperate continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. Winter is cold, summer is mild and cool, and the environment is pleasant.

The Yellow River Grand Canyon in Ningmute Township, Henan County is 30 kilometers long, with high mountains on both sides and many natural caves on the steep stone walls. People have many mysterious legends about these caves, such as the Tibetan scriptures of our religion, which have been confirmed. In the antique storage room, there are dinosaur fossils and so on. In addition, the winding Yellow River Grand Canyon is swift and magnificent, which makes people feel relaxed and heroic.

Seven, Dadu River Jinkou Grand Canyon

Starting from Chengdu, after nearly 4 hours' drive, the Jinkou Grand Canyon of Dadu River appeared in front of us. Stepping into this majestic, steep and illusory natural grand canyon is dry and steep. Ten thousand strange peaks will come at us.

Jinkou Grand Canyon, starting from Wu Si River in the west and reaching Jinkou River in the west, spans Jinkouhe District, Leshan City, Sichuan Province. Hanyuan County of Ya 'an City and Ganluo County of Liangshan River. It is about 30 kilometers long, the width of the valley is less than 200%, and the depth of the valley can reach.

2600 meters. On both sides of the canyon, strange peaks stand out and dangerous rocks stand tall, forming various pictographic landscapes, which look like people and animals. On the lifelike and overlapping mountains, trees are shaded, waterfalls are undulating, and all kinds of mountain flowers and aquatic plants compete for each other to form a beautiful landscape, and the natural charm is elegant and extraordinary.

The Dadu River, which originated in the northwest plateau of Sichuan, is famous for its danger and rapidity. It rushes and growls, running thousands of miles. It is it that creates this spectacular canyon and intoxicating scenery. According to geological experts, under the strong influence of neotectonic movement, the crust keeps rising and the valley keeps cutting.

Finally, this canyon landscape comparable to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River was formed.

Looking down from the mountainside, the water in Dadu River is so clear and soft. However, when it reached the bottom of the valley, the gentle river turned into a wild horse, jumping in the mountains and making a huge roar. Looking up, the sky is in a line. The cliffs on both sides of the river are like knives and axes, with obvious folds and clear bedding, which records the geological evolution history of more than 654.38 billion years here.

Westbound along the Dadu River, I saw the cliffs on both sides getting closer and closer, and the scenery became more and more quiet. I feel like I'm already in Baixionggou, the border between Leshan City and Ya 'an City. The White Bear Valley is more than 2,000 meters deep and 4,000 meters long. The most famous is its skyline: when you look up just 20 meters between two mountains in the valley, the sky seems to be a small bamboo leaf.

On the north bank of the Grand Canyon, Dawa Mountain stands at an altitude of 32,360 meters. This is a Pingdingshan composed of M- Permian basalt, and its geological structure is the same as Emei Mountain and Wawu Mountain. But Dawa Mountain is an isolated mountain with four cliffs, with a height difference of 800- 1000. The platform at the top of the mountain covers an area of about 1 km2, with towering old trees. It is magnificent and open, and looks like an abrupt empty towel tower from a distance. Its spectacular scenery is better than Emei Mountain and Wawu Mountain.

Eight, Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon

Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon natural scenery tourist area (National Forest Park) is located in the southeast of Huguan County, Shanxi Province, 250 kilometers away from Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and 280 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City, Henan Province and Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.

300 kilometers, the tourist area is 93 square kilometers, and the forest and grass coverage rate reaches 74.9%.

. Thousands of peaks compete, and thousands of valleys compete for wonders. The unique topography, landforms and rare animal and plant resources have created the strangest natural scenery of Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon.

Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon is a mountainous ocean, a country of rocks, a world of caves, a treasure house of water, a garden where plants grow and a paradise where animals live. The scenic spot has beautiful scenery and strange scenery. It gathers Taihang customs in Qifeng ravine. Cliffs, strange rocks, clear springs, waterfalls, caves, temples and legends near the sea are virtual and real, bright and dark, colorful and strange, dangerous and strange, and scenic.

More than 400 places and 44 scenic spots.

A. The whole area depicts a magnificent picture with beautiful scenery with the wonders of Wuzhixia, the heroes of Longquan Gorge, the beautiful scenery of Wangmang Gorge and the seclusion of Zituan Cave. There are towering blue seas, cliffs chopped by knives and axes, and various rocks in the scenic area, such as waterfalls wrapped in silver, deep pools with rippling blue waves, magnificent temples, charming caves and fascinating legends. In the meantime, when I saw the shade blocking the sun, the stream was gurgling, when I smelled the waterfall pouring silver light and rare birds flying; Stopping at the top of the mountain, you can expect the stars and the moon to wander and the peaks to change, and you can have a bird's eye view of the vast sea of clouds and the rosy clouds bathed in sunshine. This is amazing, magnificent and dangerous,

It's amazing.

Nine, Tianshan Kuqa Grand Canyon

The Kuqa Grand Canyon is located at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, 64 kilometers north of Kuqa County, Xinjiang, with an average elevation of 1.600 meters and the highest peak of 2048 meters. The canyon runs from north to south, with a total length of 5 kilometers, 53 meters at its widest point and 0.4 meters at its narrowest point. Hundreds of millions of years of geological movement and wind and rain erosion have created countless strange peaks and rocks here, such as Chujian, Crescent Valley, Jade Girl Spring and hanging rocks. The most amazing thing is the Thousand Buddha Cave in the Tang Dynasty, which opened on the cliff. The China culture preserved in the grottoes is complete and rich, which is unique among hundreds of grottoes in the ancient western regions and can be compared with the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes at the same time.

The summer heat in the canyon does not invade, the winter is warm as spring, and the four seasons are suitable for entering. However, because it is located in the desert Gobi, the temperature is high at noon and drops rapidly at night, so if you want to camp, you should bring warm clothes.

It is very dangerous to enter the canyon during the rainstorm, because rain can't be saved in the desert Gobi area. Even if it is a rainstorm more than ten miles away, it may merge into a flash flood and rush into the canyon. There have been incidents in which tourists were besieged by floods.

The canyon in the morning is amazing. The folds produced by geological processes on the mountain are clearly visible, and the light and the rock itself create various colors and blend together. Although there are no jungles and flowers, everything here is colorful and amazing.

When the sunset falls on the horizon, the light gives the peaks mysterious colors, such as gold, rose red, crimson purple and indigo blue, as if traveling in a maze. Rare and peculiar landforms are very suitable for adventure travel and photography.

X. Three Gorges of the Yangtze River

The Yangtze River, the longest river in China, is more than 6,300 kilometers long. When it flows through the eastern edge of Sichuan basin, it passes through the mountains and rushes down, forming a magnificent and unique grand canyon-the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is one of the 65,438+00 scenic spots in China and the first of the 40 best tourist attractions in China. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River starts from Baidicheng, Fengjie, Chongqing in the west and ends in Nanjinguan, Yichang, Hubei in the east. It is the general name of Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge. It is the most magnificent landscape corridor on the Yangtze River, with a total length of192km, and is often called "the Great Three Gorges". In addition, there are the "Little Three Gorges" in Daning River and the "Little Three Gorges" in Madu River. Here, there are peaks on both sides of the strait, the harbor is narrow and tortuous, and the beaches and reefs in the harbor are dotted with turbulent water. "There is water in the mountains, and there is water around the mountains. Sometimes, the coast and gables stand like axes, and they seem to want to help each other. Sometimes, dangerous cliffs stand in the water and are blocked by the current in the harbor. " Comrade Guo Moruo vividly described the magnificent scenery in the canyon area in his poem "Strange Road in Shu". In ancient China, there was a famous geographical work called Notes on Water Mirrors, which was written by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty. There is a vivid narrative about the Three Gorges in the book: "Since the Three Gorges is 700 miles, the two sides of the Three Gorges are connected with mountains, and the yuan is slightly lacking. Rocks piled up and the sky was covered by the sun. I haven't seen the sunrise and the moon since midnight.

The Three Gorges straddles two provinces. There are mountains and steep cliffs on both sides of the river, and the scenery is amazing. The steep and continuous peaks on both banks are generally about 700-800 meters higher than the river. The narrowest part of the river is about 100 m; With the construction of the huge Three Gorges Project, it has become a world-famous tourist hotline.

There are many beautiful scenic spots in the Three Gorges Tourist Area, among which the most famous are Fengdu Ghost Town, Shi Baozhai in Zhongxian County, Zhangfei Temple in Yunyang, Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge, Xiling Gorge, the majestic Three Gorges Project, Daning River Small Three Gorges and so on.

There are three routes to visit the Three Gorges: 1, and enjoy the wonders of the Three Gorges from Shunjiang, Chongqing at a fast pace; 2. Visit the beautiful scenery of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuhan; 3. Start from Yichang, the east exit of the Three Gorges, and enjoy the magical and beautiful Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
