Maling River Canyon

Low-key Xingyi is my private treasure in Guizhou. While tourists flock to Huangguoshu, I prefer the wildness and beauty of Maling River Canyon. It is known as "the most beautiful scar on Earth," and autumn is the best time to visit when the water volume is still abundant and the trees on both sides are colorful. The waterfall group is no less magnificent. ​​"Itinerary Planning: 1-Day Journey to the Earth's Core"​​ This is a hiking route that requires some physical strength, but the reward is unbeatable scenery. ​Morning:​​ Depart from Xingyi city center, about a half-hour drive to Maling River Canyon Scenic Area; enter through the Dachaiwo entrance and start walking along the plank road down to the valley floor, where you can overlook attractions like the Wanma Benteng Waterfall. ​Noon:​​ Rest at the valley bottom and recharge. ​Afternoon:​​ Hike along the river valley, pass through misty caves, and take the sightseeing elevator near Sea Lion Hall back to the surface to end the adventure. ​​"Highlights Recommendation: Star Rating"​​ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Wanma Benteng Waterfall:​​ During the high water season, several waterfalls pour down from cliffs hundreds of meters high simultaneously, like a stampede of horses, with thunderous roaring sounds, extremely spectacular. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Natural Bridge:​​ A huge natural stone bridge spanning the canyon, a geological wonder and an excellent viewpoint and photo spot. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hiking Plank Road:​​ The plank road carved along the cliff is a miracle itself. Walking on it offers multiple angles to appreciate the canyon’s steepness and beauty of the waterfalls. ​​"Check-in Guide: Creating a Cinematic Feel"​​ Want to shoot an adventure blockbuster like "Journey to the Center of the Earth"? ​Best Spot 1: - Under the Natural Bridge:​​ Shoot upward to capture the grand structure of the bridge, with people as scale points to highlight the majesty of nature. ​Best Spot 2: - Viewing Platform:​​ Safely use a wide-angle lens to capture the panoramic view of the waterfall group, with mist swirling, creating a powerful impact. ​Outfit Suggestion:​​ Wear a windbreaker, hiking pants, and hiking boots to create a professional adventurer look; bright-colored jackets stand out against the gray rocky background. ​​"In-Depth Experience: Baptism Under the Waterfall"​​ Walk along the slippery plank road to the valley bottom, the roar of Wanma Benteng Waterfall grows louder, and the mist hits your face, instantly wetting your hair and jacket. Standing on the viewing platform, the huge curtain of water crashes into the deep pool below, spraying mist everywhere. When sunlight passes through the mist, you can occasionally see a brilliant rainbow. The feeling of being completely surrounded and shocked by the power of nature makes you forget fatigue and leaves only awe for the Creator. ​​"Practical Information: ✍🏻 Useful Tips"​​ ✍🏻 Transportation: It is recommended to drive yourself or take a taxi from Xingyi city center. ✍🏻 Tickets: Peak season prices apply; the sightseeing elevator requires a separate ticket but saves a lot of climbing energy, so it is recommended to take it. ✍🏻 Gear: Non-slip hiking shoes are a must! The plank road is slippery, safety first. Raincoat or waterproof windbreaker is essential. ✍🏻 Safety: Pay attention to your footing throughout, follow scenic area rules, and do not climb over railings. ​​"Food and Accommodation: Healing Choices"​​ After the tour, return to Xingyi city center where there are plenty of accommodation and dining options. Be sure to try local specialties like Xingyi lamb noodles, Shuabatou, and Gangzi noodles to replenish your energy. Compared to the famous Huangguoshu, Maling River Canyon lets you truly feel the original charm of Guizhou’s rugged and lively mountains and waters.

In the "20th Anniversary Edition of Beauty Contest China" by China National Geography, the Maling River Canyon waterfall group was simultaneously selected for the "China's Most Beautiful Waterfall Challenger List" and the "China's Most Beautiful Canyon Challenger List," becoming a rare dual-attraction scenic spot nationwide. Located in Xingyi City at the junction of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou provinces, it originates from Baiguoling in the Wumeng Mountain range. Stretching over 70 kilometers, it carves a narrow and deep fissure canyon through the plains, known as the "World's Number One Fissure" and "Earth's Beautiful Scar." It is also praised as the "River of a Thousand Waterfalls" and "Heavenly Ditch and Earth Fissure," a structure extremely rare worldwide. The waterfall group here is magnificent, with majestic and picturesque scenery that leaves visitors in awe. Established in 1993, the Maling River "Five Rings Rafting Company" pioneered rafting in Southwest China; in April 1998, it successfully hosted an international kayaking rafting competition, becoming Guizhou Province's kayaking training base and the national Olympic whitewater sports base. Visiting Maling River Canyon, tourists can marvel at nature's craftsmanship while experiencing the thrill and fun of rafting, gaining surprises and relaxation. Come check in and appreciate the unique charm of this natural wonder!
