Introduction to Ruyuan Grand Canyon

Ruyuan Grand Canyon, a beautiful scar on the Guangdong landscape, is located in Dabu Town, 68 kilometers southwest of Ruyuan County, Guangdong Province. It turns out that the location of the Grand Canyon is just a small basin in the ravine. Due to the influence of the Yanshan Movement, the earth's crust was affected by the expansion force of the uplift of the land mass. Parts of the land mass were stretched and subsided to form rift valleys. This has a history of tens of millions of years. Both sides of the Grand Canyon are steep cliffs with very high angles. The rocks exposed in the canyon are sedimentary rocks formed more than 300 million years ago, mainly dense and hard quartzite. The top of the Grand Canyon is shaped like a large moat. The calm Tai Po River meanders from southeast to northwest, and then suddenly flows here, forming a waterfall, which is majestic and breathtaking! There is a deep pool under the waterfall, and the water flows out of Yingdeboro Town along the Grand Canyon and into Beijiang. About 20 kilometers away from the Grand Canyon, there is a rare quartz sand cave in China - Jingfeng Cave. There are various kinds of strange rocks in the cave, which are different and unique in style compared with the limestone caves.
