The Grand Canyon in Western Zhejiang is one of the earliest canyon ecological scenic spots to emerge in China. Located in the Qingliangfeng Nature Reserve on the border between Zhejiang and Anhui, it is named "Western Zhejiang" because it is located in the northwest of Zhejiang. The canyon has high mountains and rapid water. The mountains are the remnants of Huangshan Mountain and the water is the source of Qiantang River. The canyon tourist area is a linear ring with a total length of 83 kilometers and is divided into three scenic sections: Longjing Gorge, Shangxi Gorge and Zhemen Gorge. The first scenic section has been developed into a tourist attraction. The first scenic section starts from the south entrance of Longdao Highway in Longgang Town to the Wuxing Village Scenic Area, and is about 20 kilometers long. The canyons in the scenic section are majestic and unique. The tourist areas that have been successfully developed in the first scenic section include: Zhelin Waterfall, Jianmen Pass and Baima Cliff. Zhelin Waterfall Scenic Area The Zhelin Waterfall Scenic Area is characterized by the upper and lower waterfalls with different landscapes. The upper waterfall is called Longmen Waterfall and the lower waterfall is called Yansheng Waterfall. The two waterfalls flow long and the waterfalls are shaped like "a silk curtain". The entire scenic area has steep rocks and lush trees. The waterfalls also bring a large amount of negative oxygen ions, and the air is fresh. It has been determined that this place is one of the areas with abundant negative oxygen ions in Lin'an. Jianmenguan Scenic Area Jianmenguan Scenic Area is located in the valley between Jinping and Wuxingqiao in the canyon. The tourist trail is more than 2,000 meters long and is an experience area for hiking through the canyon. In this scenic section, there are continuous peaks, fast water, fresh air and pleasant scenery. On the waterway, you can raft through the panoramic section and experience the pleasure of rushing through rapids and surging waves. You can explore the valley bottom by land and enjoy the majestic canyon scenery. Baima Cliff Scenic Area Baima Cliff Scenic Area has the reputation of "going out from the Baima Rock and plowing on the Huangniu Wall". There is a horse-head peak in the scenic area that looks like a giant horse, so it is named "White Horse Cliff". The scenic area has Pingxi River as its axis. Along the way, you can see many rock peaks, cliffs, creek rocks, and waterfalls. When entering the scenic spot, you can take the Caiyun Cableway, which can be used as a means of mountain climbing and at the same time provide you with a panoramic view of the magnificent landscape of the mountains in western Zhejiang.
