A stunning grand canyon in Shaanxi, its wild beauty is completely different from its domestic style.

When traveling, I always have a soft spot for places that were once closed and now open.

In my opinion, it was closed for a reason, and when those reasons were ambiguous on the Internet, it aroused my interest.

After all, what better than "curiosity" to urge Wan Li's trekking Wan Li to get to a place to find out? If it is reopened later, the hidden danger has completely disappeared.

For example, I found a small scenic spot in Shaanxi Province on the Internet. My friends and I happened to be in Shaanxi at that time. He heard that I was going to Yan 'an and thought I was going to take him on a "Red Tour".

But in fact, the place I want to go is Yucha Village, Ganquan County, Yan 'an City. That's the destination of my trip-Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon.

It was discovered in 20 17. At that time, a geological photographer from Beijing accidentally discovered the loess landform while shooting, took photos and posted the photos and locations on the Internet. After the spread and fermentation of the network, it quickly became famous on social media at home and abroad.

This mysterious geological wonder hidden in the yellow soil has been in the state of "bred in the inner room and no one knows her" for many years, so it has remained primitive and undeveloped.

Many people who travel abroad have this mentality, thinking that pure natural and primitive are the best, regardless of others, and the word "pure natural" can take their souls away.

So the Grand Canyon became popular in the online world, and many domestic and foreign geological photographers, tourists and backpackers came here.

It was also at this time that Yucha Grand Canyon was awarded the title of "China Antelope Canyon". Although I have always scoffed at the title of "China XX", I have to admit that it is this title that makes Yucha Grand Canyon spread more widely.

However, just in full swing, the scenic spot suddenly announced its closure because of security risks. This is also the reason why it is "too primitive", so primitive that even the dangerous area has no protective measures. Whether we can cross that road safely depends on luck. If we are unlucky, see you next life.

But a year ago, Yucha Grand Canyon reopened, so it was heated up again on the Internet.

From Yan 'an, take a bus all the way to Ganquan County, and then carpool from Ganquan County to Yucha Village. When you get there, the rest of the journey is on foot.

Yucha Grand Canyon consists of several parts. At present, there are three open gullies: Mudan Gully, Yixiantian Gully and Birch Gully. Longbagou and steamed stuffed bun ditch don't open. If you want to go, you can find local villagers as guides to lead the way, but the road conditions there are more dangerous. Anyway, a timid and desperate person like me didn't go.

Take different roads, and naturally you can feel different scenery. The canyon is full of bright colors, where you can devote yourself to it and feel the wonder of nature. The long and ancient history gave birth to the unique loess culture in this land. Everything in the canyon has been polished by thousands of years of wind and rain. The rock wall is uneven and smooth, revealing nature and harmony everywhere.

We walked in Baihuagou, which is said to be the most beautiful of the three open ditches, with a total length of about 800 meters. There is a narrow gully in the middle. The rock walls on both sides have been washed out with clear and smooth stripes by wind and rain. Walking in it is like walking in the waves, and there is an indescribable spiritual feeling, as if they are constantly moving.

When the light shines into the canyon, the rock walls show different colors. The moss on it is fantastic green in the sun, and there are tiny particles flying up and down under the light. It's a fairyland.

The general red sandstone geology, however, presents a calm red color under the irradiation of sunlight, not that bright red color, but a calm scarlet color, like a red cloud suddenly floating on the rock wall, which is not inferior to the beautiful sunset glow in the air. In some places, due to the light, the rock wall will appear lavender, orange or pink, which is very beautiful.

However, when you come here, you must do a lot of homework in advance. For example, as mentioned earlier, the roads here are rugged and there are hidden dangers in some places, so you should pay more attention to yourself.

The roads in the canyon are slippery, even on sunny days, so it is best not to go on rainy days (not to mention the roads and the scenery is not as beautiful as on sunny days). If you go, look at the weather forecast in advance and prepare rain boots to prevent slipping.

In addition, the temperature in the canyon is much lower than that outside, so we should also pay attention to keep warm, and it is best to bring a thin coat. Our homework before said that the scenery in the canyon is the best from 10 am to 2 pm. We arrived around eleven o'clock and left around one o'clock in the afternoon, when the light was really good. A stunning grand canyon in Shaanxi, the wild beauty is very different from the domestic style.

If you are a nature lover or a photographer interested in unique terrain, then Yucha Grand Canyon is a place you must not miss, and I can only give you one suggestion: do a good job in safety. Shaanxi Grand Canyon, once closed and open, is very wild and amazing.
