What attractions does Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon include?

The scenic spot introduces other travel arrangements and traffic suggestions.

Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon is also a very famous scenic spot. This scenic spot is shocking. It's amazing that nature can turn a canyon into this. Interested friends can go. This canyon is in Shaanxi.

Introduction of scenic spots

1. Ganquan Grand Canyon

Located in Yucha Village, Xiasiwan Town, Ganquan County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province, there was a strong earthquake in northern Shaanxi about several hundred million years ago. A big crack separated from a loess mountain, and after millions of years of rain erosion, it gradually formed such a canyon, much like the Antelope Canyon in the United States.

Before entering the canyon scenic spot, the tourist service center has been built, and you must buy tickets and transfer to the scenic spot to enter CMB. Self-driving is prohibited from May 20 18. The management of the gate is very strict, so it is impossible to sneak in. After entering the entrance of the scenic spot, there are more than 20 kilometers of dirt roads, and the road conditions are very bad. Various excavators are repairing roads. Recently, only Huashugou Canyon with the best scenery and the nearest distance is open to the public, while the other four canyons (from far to near, Huabaocha Canyon, Longbagou Canyon, Mudangou Canyon and Fenghuanggou Canyon) are closed to the public recently due to road construction.

Tips:

The most suitable season for sightseeing is from March to May. If you visit in the rainy season, the valley will be closed and you can't visit if it rains. There is a great temperature difference between inside and outside the valley, so it is necessary to wear a thin coat in the valley. If you don't have high boots, I suggest renting rain boots and a pair of 5 yuan at the gate of each valley. There is really deep water in the valley.

We visited Longbagou Canyon and Huashugou Canyon.

2. Longbagou Canyon

Longbagou is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and some positions need both hands and feet to climb forward. Longbagou Canyon is about 5 kilometers round trip, the trip is at the bottom of the valley, and the return trip is on the dirt road next to the canyon. There is only one exit in the middle of the 800-meter walk in the valley. If you are in poor physical strength, you can turn back at this time. The deeper the road, the harder it is to walk. It takes about 2 hours to walk, shoot and return. Longbagou is better than a few people, and the scenery is slightly worse than birch valley. Old people and children are not recommended to visit.

3. Huashugou Canyon

Huashugou is the most beautiful and essential canyon with a total length of about 300 meters. There are too many tourists in the ditch to walk. The light is best from 1 1 to 2 pm, because the top of the canyon is narrow, and if there is no light, the valley will be dark. The birch ditch is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Contrary to Longbagou, rocks are more curved, textured and colorful. In the right light, you can definitely make a big film.

Tips:

It is recommended to go on holidays. The official opening time of the scenic spot is 8: 00 in the morning, but it is actually released around 7: 30. Be sure to take photos of birch ditch early in the morning, there is no light exposure for a long time! When the light is good at noon, you can go to Huashugou to visit and shoot again.

In addition, there are many local people with photography teams who can be hired to lead the way for many local wild canyons. The scenery is absolutely not inferior to the scenic spots, and there are no tourists. Don't try to save money by yourself. Wild canyons are all in places with poor road conditions, and the entrance to the canyon is also very inconspicuous, so I can't find it myself. Spend money safely and efficiently, just support local development ~

1. Shooting suggestion

Wide angle is recommended for the lens, and telephoto is useless here. You may also need a tripod and a magnifying glass. If it is creative shooting, you can bring your own flashlight, headlights and other light sources.

2. Accommodation situation

You can choose to live in Ganquan County or Xiasiwan Town near Yucha Canyon. Ganquan County is more than 30 kilometers away from the scenic spot. In order to enter the scenic spot early in the morning and avoid a large number of tourists, it is recommended to live in Xiasiwan Town. At present, there are fewer regular hotels here, and there are family hotels to choose from, which are not expensive.

Recommended food

It is recommended that "Luohechuan Bacon" in Xiasiwan Town, featuring local cured pork, such as stew, farm tofu, roast pork skewers, etc. It's cheap and delicious. 150 yuan is enough for six people.

Tips:

Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon Scenic Area and nearby wild canyons are very suitable for photographers and hikers. The average tourist has enough time all day. Just pick two or three canyons to visit, and the scenery is similar. If it's for filming, it's recommended to have an in-depth and detailed tour from 2 days, one day in the scenic spot and one day outside the scenic spot. It is understood that some photographers have recently discovered many canyons such as heart-shaped canyon, Zhidan county canyon and Ansai county canyon on Qin Zhi Road.

Travel arrangements and transportation suggestions

Most of the vehicles on the road seen in Jingbian and Yufa are near Shaanxi, such as xi, Ningxia and Shaanxi. If you come from far away, you can take the train to Yan 'an, Shaanxi, and then rent a car directly from the railway station for sightseeing. The car rental fee ranges from 200 to 500 per day to avoid the fatigue of long-distance driving. Just drive at the specific scenic spot and follow the navigation. There are many places to go nearby, such as Hukou Waterfall, Qikou Town and Gankun Bay Scenic Area, and you can go together according to the overall number of days.

The distance between Jingbian Valley and Yucha Grand Canyon is 220 kilometers, and the journey takes about 3 hours. If the schedule is tight, you can go to one first and then to another at night. At present, neither of the two scenic spots has been fully developed, and tourists are not saturated. If you are interested, please come quickly!

Qin Jin Tour 1 1: Explore the Shekou Grand Canyon in Ganquan, northern Shaanxi.

Author/Photography: Mo

According to the arrangement of the travel agency, after enjoying a sunrise meal in Jingbian Langgu, I hummed a song "Believe in Heaven" and got on the bus to start another day's trip. The destination is the "Jade Tea Grand Canyon" tour in Ganquan, Yan 'an.

At noon, I finally arrived at a small town in Ganquan County. After a simple lunch, I got on the bus prepared by the local tour guide and headed for the depths of the mountains in groups of three or five. Because they are all temporary cars, drivers can't find their way after driving for a long time, so they all contact with their mobile phones to ask for directions. In view of this situation, I had doubts with a donkey friend in the car, so I chatted with the driver of our car about the scenic spots of Yucha Grand Canyon.

In the chat, I learned that the scenery of Yucha Grand Canyon in Ganquan area is comparable to the "Antelope Valley" in the United States. This caused donkey friends from all over the country to go there and have a try. After seeing this money-making effect, the local villagers in Ganquan developed the ravines and ridges in the village into tourist attractions and called them "Jade Tea Grand Canyon", which caused a mixed situation. And the same is true of the canyon we are going to now. Its real name should be "Shekou Valley". After driving for about half an hour, the car stopped at the top of a high mountain.

Villagers, village guides, holding lumberjacks and shovels, let us put on our boots. Follow him all the way to the top of the mountain and down to the bottom. Along the way, the villagers are really not easy. Such a large group of people with uneven ages and physical conditions feel great and have great risks in building roads and bridges along the river.

After about half an hour's journey down the mountain, everyone lived up to their mission. After struggling all the way, they finally reached the bottom of the Grand Canyon safely and smoothly.

In fact, we went through a lot of hardships to reach the canyon, which is right in the middle of the canyon. It is also the lowest part. In the canyon, one meter of sunshine falls from the sky. Reflected on the cliffs, trees and grasslands in the valley, it brings primitive tranquility to the deep and quiet canyon.

Shrubs and jungles seem to be scattered on the cliffs on both sides of the river, but when you look closely, you feel that it is so orderly and more quiet in the Grand Canyon. This is the natural law of nature and the law that human beings must abide by.

Blue and white butterflies can be seen everywhere in the valley flying freely among the flowers, which is another style. Canyon, wild flowers and butterflies are strung together, forming the beautiful scenery of "Saint Zhuangzi daydreaming, bewitched by butterflies, cuckoo crowing by emperors in spring". It is also a good choice to name such a grand canyon "Butterfly Valley".

Wandering in the canyon, the valley is parallel and narrow, as if he suddenly turned into a little frog and accidentally fell into the bottom of the well. Looking up, there are many strange rocks on both sides of the cliff. In the blue sky with beans, trees are inserted horizontally between the cliffs, which is a rare primitive ecological environment. Wandering in the deep canyon, you will fall into the deep ditch of the mire if you are not careful, and there is no sense of adventure. Colorful cliff patterns are fascinating.

The name of "Shekou Valley" appropriately reflects the landform of "wide-headed, slender and claw-tailed" canyon. When we reached the "tail corner", a seemingly artificial stone road blocked our progress like a roadblock. Looking around, the canyon is deeper and the cliffs on both sides are steeper. It also shows its quiet environment and gives people a quiet enjoyment.

Crossing the stone dam and reaching the tip of the iceberg, the situation inside is completely different from the scenery outside. The narrow passage gap is transmitted on the cliff by a ray of sunlight overhead, which exaggerates and hangs on the cliff, showing the attractive charm of the canyon cliff.

After exploring the top of Yang Jiao, we retraced our steps, crossed the mountain road that entered the bottom of the valley, and went up the mountain again. Suddenly, my eyes became cheerful and the color of the mountain turned red. Is the red sandstone that can be seen everywhere at the entrance and exit of the valley the ore used to make "cinnabar" in ancient times?

Out of Shekou Canyon, the charm on the loess slope is different from that in the canyon. Green hills and sunset are mixed with yellow land, and sheep are leisurely looking for green grass. Sunset reflected on their cashmere is another transparent color. Just like another white cloud on the grass.

End the day's trip on the loess slope at sunset. I feel the unique charm left to the people by the birthplace of the Chinese nation. Thanks to the great USA and China!

Sing a poem as a souvenir:

Luqi Xiantan Ganquan Shekou Valley

Wandering in Shekou, Ganquan, and the narrow gully on Huangniba.

The head is wide and the tail is thin, the cliff is steep and the forest is deep, and the canyon is quiet.

Dreaming of butterflies, shadowy.

There are many beautiful trees all over the country, which are carefree and free.

Are Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon and Jingbian Langgu worth visiting?

Worth going, worth going, worth going. If these two places are not worth visiting, there won't be many scenic spots worth visiting in the world.

Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon and its valleys are all in the northern Shaanxi Plateau.

Yucha Grand Canyon is located in Zhangjiagou Village, Xiasiwan Town, Ganquan County, Yan 'an City, and Langgu is located in Longzhou Town, Jingbian County, Yulin City. The distance between them is a little over 200 kilometers.

These two scenic spots are niche attractions discovered by hikers in recent years, and instantly become popular from the media. After it became popular, it was developed by relevant local departments.

The reason why the Valley of Waves and the Grand Canyon of Yucha in Ganquan became popular quickly is that they look too much like two world-class scenic spots in the United States. The trough corresponds to the trough in the United States, and the Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon corresponds to the Antelope Valley in the United States.

I went to these two places on National Day last year. Below, I will give them a brief introduction respectively.

1, _ _ _ _ _

Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon is rarely called China Antelope Valley. Their slogan is "The living Danxia of the world, the dream valley of China".

There are seven canyons in the Grand Canyon, namely, Huashugou, Mudan Gully, Yixiantian, Shehegou, Fenghuang Gully, Huabaogou and Longbagou. Only the first three have been opened so far.

We went during the National Day, and there was more than one person. The visitor center is located in Zhangjiagou Village, Xiasiwan Town. When I first arrived at the village head, I saw several miles of traffic and couldn't get into the parking lot.

We stopped at the fork in the road in front of Zhangjiagou Village Committee, waiting for the tortoise to enter the scenic parking lot. At this time, a middle-aged man gestured in front of our car like a traffic policeman and directed us to drive to the square in front of the village Committee. We hesitated and looked at him a little uneasily. He was even more anxious, and the intensity and frequency of gestures increased, but he just didn't speak. It turns out that he is deaf and dumb and can't speak. Through his simple and anxious eyes, we followed it and stopped in front of the village Committee. Thanks to this simple and kind-hearted deaf-mute old man, the place he pointed out to us is indeed a parking area that can be diverted, but as a foreigner, I generally can't believe this kind of thing and am afraid of being cheated. The old man's advice saved us dozens of minutes of waiting time, and there was no parking fee.

Yucha Grand Canyon doesn't accept tickets now, but you have to take their scenic bus, and the fare is 70 yuan. Because there were too many people, the tourist routes in those years were divided into line A and line B. The two routes were different in landscape, but the difference was not too big. As a new tourist, you can't tell which is good and which is not. We went to the easy-to-buy route, which should be the next one.

Forget the scenery and look at the photos. If you want to take a good photo, you have to talk about luck. The weather is fine and sunny. The photos you take must look like a computer desktop. Direct sunlight is best at noon.

2. Valley

The trough is located in Longzhou Town, Jingbian County, Yulin City, and is known as the Antelope Valley of the United States. To tell the truth, there is no unified name for the trough at present. Some are called Flame Danxia District and Shuidanxia District, and some are called 1, No.2, No.3, No.4 and No.5. At present, the more accurate name should be Longzhou Danxia landform. This scenic spot is very large, divided into several independent blocks, and each block has its own different title.

At present, the Danxia landform in Longzhou is closed, and the scenic spot 1 with the best scenery is under construction. However, the influx of foreign tourists like a pilgrimage has caused the local government a headache and cannot be stopped. During holidays, traffic police, police and special police are dispatched to stop and guide. However, the local villagers are very happy. They run hotels, run farmhouses, work as tour guides, solicit customers on the roadside and collect parking fees on a flat land.

Tourists visit some beautiful "wild" scenic spots. Although it is a wild scenic spot, outsiders can't get in. Every intersection is blocked. Do you want to go in? Someone must lead the way. The guide fee is a trip to 50 yuan for one scenic spot, regardless of the number of people, only according to the number of times. The tour guide takes your car, and your car can only enter.

We booked a farmhouse hotel in advance to talk with our boss about food, accommodation and transportation. We visited three scenic spots, and he was in charge of picking up and dropping off.

We went to the boss's house from Yan 'an. At four or five o'clock, he immediately sent us to a scenic spot. It feels good.

In the evening, he asked us if we should go to the best scenic spot 1 tomorrow. He said that there was construction there, and if he wanted to go there, he had to "sneak in" before the workers went to work at four or five before dawn. Because it was very cold there during the National Day and we had a child, we didn't go "lurking".

At dawn, he sent us to the Danxia area on the water, showed us the way and told us to go quickly, and someone stopped us before it was too late.

This place is also very nice. We really got here first. When we came out from another place, we found a police car parked where we entered in the morning.

Five of us (including a child) lived in one room and experienced the Datong Kang in the northern Shaanxi Plateau for one night. The children were very happy. We ate two meals a morning and one night, sent us to three places, and paid 600 yuan when we checked out. After he left, he said he charged me 20 yuan less for drinks, so I made up for it. That's what we drink at night. Let him drink his home-brewed wine when we are cooking in the evening. He gave us a bottle of mineral water and a bottle of 40 yuan. We said we only needed half, so he let us drink it ourselves. Leave him half. We really only drank half.

In Longzhou Langgu, you can not only see the magical geographical wonders, but also visit the surrounding scenic spots, such as Jingbian Wantong City, which is very famous. Zhenbeitai can also watch it. Zhenbeitai is one of the most magnificent buildings in the ruins of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty and one of the three wonders of the Great Wall (starting from Shanhaiguan in the east, reaching Zhenbeitai in the middle and Jiayuguan in the west).

There is a natural scenic spot in Shaanxi, which is called "China Dream Valley". What is this place?

When it comes to tourist attractions in Shaanxi, people may first think of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Wild Goose Pagoda and other historic sites. In fact, in addition to these scenic spots, there are many beautiful natural landscapes in Shaanxi, but they have never been known because of their great fame. What I introduced to you is a scenic spot with extremely special scenery. It is also called China Dream Valley, and this scenic spot is "Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon".

Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon is located in Yucha Village, Ganquan County, Yan 'an City. It is a natural scenic spot carved by nature for millions of years. Although there are no high mountains and flowing water and winding paths, the unique Danxia landform is a rare and unique beauty in the world. Walking into the Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon, everyone will be attracted by the steep mountain walls of various colors, and looking up at the sky will give people a strong sense of oppression.

Many friends may be curious, how did such a unique Danxia landform Grand Canyon come into being? In fact, the reason for the formation of Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon originated from a great earthquake millions of years ago. At that time, the magnitude here may have reached more than 8, and even the earth was shaken with many cracks, which are the original appearance of the Grand Canyon.

Then these cracks were washed away by perennial rain, and finally such a unique spectacle was formed. Nowadays, when visitors enter the Yucha Grand Canyon in Ganquan, they will see that the stone walls on both sides are very smooth. In fact, these are all formed by the impact of rain, and the color of the mountain is also the color emitted by different minerals after precipitation.

With these unique landscapes, Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon has won the favor of a large number of tourists in just over ten years, especially for those friends who like photography. It is simply a photography paradise, with beautiful scenery everywhere.

If you are interested in Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon, you may wish to take advantage of this holiday and bring your family and friends here for sightseeing. After all, there are only a handful of beautiful scenery in China.

The history of Ganquan village

The first person who settled in Ganquan Village was a family named Ding. The soil in Ganquan village is mostly muck, which is suitable for firing porcelain. Dingjia takes the porcelain industry as the development focus, and gradually forms a village-Dingjiagou around the porcelain industry and Dingjia. The burned porcelain is mainly coarse porcelain, including porcelain bowls, magnetic basins, porcelain pots and later bricks. A group of people with porcelain-making skills have been gradually cultivated and gathered here. The early porcelain industry developed well and sold widely, which not only met the needs of nearby residents, but also exported to Shangqiu and Anhui. A large number of people came to Ganquan to buy porcelain, which not only broadened the economic source of Ganquan village, but also brought local specialties to Ganquan village, and Ganquan became a trading market. Therefore, the ridge where Ganquan is located is called "Wanyaoling", and Ganquan has won the reputation of "Little Luoyang".

Before 1958, Ganquan village's industrial activities were mainly porcelain burning, which was famous for its prosperity for a while. The economy was particularly active during 1958. In response to President Mao Zedong's "big steel smelting" activity, Ganquan's porcelain industry economy, especially the bowl-making industry, has developed vigorously. Some people in the village commented that the economic situation at that time was "per capita income is not lower than now", which shows the prosperity of porcelain industry. After three years of natural disasters, the economy began to recover in 1962, and the development of porcelain industry continued until about 1993. In the past two or three decades, the development of Ganquan porcelain industry has encountered obstacles and gradually declined.

First of all, the porcelain made by traditional methods has low technology content and relatively backward technology level. Brick, one of the important product names, has good heat resistance, but poor heavy pressure resistance, and has no competitive advantage in the face of other new products with the same use. Secondly, the rising price of coal, the material used to burn porcelain, has hindered the development of porcelain industry; In addition, workers who burn porcelain often need to work overtime, and the air in the porcelain kiln is not good, so many people get sick or even die. The development prospect of porcelain industry is bleak. Many young people are discouraged by diseases that may occur at any time, and the porcelain burning technology is gradually forgotten. According to statistics, there are very few villagers under the age of 50 who can burn bricks, not to mention the "treasures" such as bowls, cans, altars and pots that have made great achievements in their ancestors. Now that we have entered the village, the people who used to burn porcelain kilns have disappeared, and we can't see the brilliant scene brought by the porcelain kiln industry in those years. We can only see many quiet and lonely porcelain kilns in the village. Who will save these "heroes" in the history of Ganquan? How to recover it really needs thinking and exploration.

After the 1990s, the decline of porcelain industry was opposed to the establishment of coal mines. Large coal mines appeared in the village, and the living standards of the villagers were maintained. However, due to the long mining life of coal mines, the recoverable reserves of many coal mines are decreasing day by day, and the closure of small and medium-sized coal mines by the state in recent years, the development prospect of Ganquan coal industry is not optimistic. Many people who have lived in coal mines for most of their lives have to face the problem of finding jobs again, which is another problem worth thinking about and exploring.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ganquan Village was once called "Ganquan Village Office". It is said that Xin 'an County is called "Area 1" and Ganquan is called "Area 2". The former site is on the ridge behind the present village cultural square, but it no longer exists, and only the traces left by the stone tablet of "Village Office" hanging in that year can be seen.

The agricultural development in Ganquan village is not obvious. The main crops are wheat, corn and soybeans, supplemented by sweet potatoes and peanuts. 1958 agricultural harvest; 1960- 1963 agriculture is relatively backward; After the reform and opening up, the problem of food and clothing for farmers has been solved, and the problem of eating has been completely solved. In history, the agriculture in Ganquan once had a flash of vitality-planting peanuts. At that time, the harvest was good, but because the people's living standards were not high at that time, the problem of eating was not solved, and the enthusiasm for planting peanuts was not high, so they did not persist.

There used to be three temple fairs in Ganquan village in history, called Shangmiao, Xiamiao and Niuwang Temple. The former site of Shangmiao, where Ganquan Primary School is now located, is mainly dedicated to the "kiln god" who brought wealth to Ganquan Village. Temple fairs are held every February 15 and April 15, so that the kiln gods can bless the villagers. Xiamiao Temple is located in the old village of Ganquan Village, mainly dedicated to the land gods and other agricultural gods. Held on March 12 and April 18 every year, it is the only temple fair preserved at present, but there is only one temple fair on March 12 every year. The other is the "Niuwang Temple". Because in the past, one of people's economic sources was farming besides burning porcelain. Cows play an important role in people's lives, so people often worship the "King of Cows" with awe.
