What are the famous Grand Canyon in China?

1. The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is located at Nange Bawa Peak in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, forming the most peculiar horseshoe-shaped bend in the world. It is not only a unique landscape, but also a grand canyon with unique water vapor channel function in the world, which has created a unique forest ecological landscape in the southeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The mountains it embraces are as high as 7782 meters above sea level, and the deepest valley is as deep as 5000 meters, which makes Colorado and other canyons in the world far behind. From alpine ice and snow to tropical rain forest, there are nine vertical natural zones, which is the most complete place in the world.

2. The Lancang River Valley is located in Deqin County, Yunnan Province, starting from Foshan Township in the north and Yanmen Township in the south, with a total length of 150 km, which is the place with the largest height difference in Yunnan Province. The river surface of the canyon is 2006 meters above sea level, the Kawar slope of Meili Snow Mountain on the left bank is 6740 meters above sea level, and the ZhaLacny peak on Baima Snow Mountain on the right bank is as high as 5460 meters above sea level. The maximum height difference of the canyon is 4734m, and the slope distance from the river surface to the peak is14km. It rises 337 meters per kilometer on average, and the canyon has a nearly vertical slope.

After the Lancang River entered Meili Gorge from Tibet, the channel was narrow and the current was swift, so there was no way to cross the river. Historically, it relied entirely on bamboo rafts to cross the river, so there was a village called "Liu Tonghe" along the river. Although such a dangerous place has caused countless losses of people and property falling into the river in history, it is actually the throat of Yunnan-Tibet traffic, and it is actually called "sliding column lock key".

3. Hutiaoxia is 60 kilometers away from the county seat of Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County. Located in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River in Yulong Snow Mountain, with a total length of18km. It is divided into three sections: upper tiger jump, middle tiger jump and lower tiger jump. Panshan Highway is 25 kilometers, with Yulong Snow Mountain in the east and Diqing Haba Snow Mountain in the west. The vertical height difference of the canyon is 3790 meters, which is one of the deepest canyons in the world.

The narrowest part of the river is only about 30 meters. According to legend, when a tiger goes down the mountain, one foot can fly over the rocks in the river, so it is called Tiger Leaping Gorge. There are many reefs in the gorge, including 2 1 shoal, 7 10 high waterfall and 10 waterfall. Tiger Leaping Gorge-Legend has it that Master Mu, the ruler of Lijiang at that time, was extremely rich and surrounded by talented people. One of them can tell a fortune. One day, I calculated it for Master Mu. It is said that Master Mu was rich when he was born, but there was no coffin available after his death. Master Mu was frightened. From then on, wherever he went, he put a coffin every ten miles to fight against his fate.

One day, the weather was fine and Master Mu was in a good mood, so he rode his mount, the tiger, along the Jinsha River. The river is surging and picturesque. When the tiger came to a narrow reach, he jumped on a big stone in the middle of the river. The tiger went ashore, but people never went ashore with the tiger at the same time, but fell into the rolling river. Time has passed, Master Mu and his tiger have long been lost, but they have left imaginative names such as Tiger Leaping Gorge and Tiger Leaping Stone to future generations.

4. The Tianshan Kuqa Grand Canyon is located 64 kilometers north of Kuqa County (known as Qiuci in ancient times) in Xinjiang, with 42 8 ′ north latitude and 83 5 ′ east longitude. The mysterious Tianshan Grand Canyon, surrounded by mountains at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, combines the wonders of human canyon and Tianshan Mountain, embodies the eternal aura, and integrates spirit, strangeness, danger, heroism, antiquity and seclusion. The scenery is strange and charming.

In 2002 1 month, it was promoted to a national [AA-level] tourist attraction. Tianshan Kuqa Grand Canyon belongs to Kuqa Valley, a tributary of Tarim River. The local Uighurs call it "Kyzilia", which means "Red Cliff". The Grand Canyon is roughly in a north-south arc, with its opening slightly bent to the southeast and its end slightly bent to the northeast. It consists of a main valley and seven branch valleys, with a total length of over 5000 meters. The natural drop from the valley bottom to the valley mouth is more than 200 meters. The width of the valley bottom is 53 meters, and the narrowest point is 0.4 meters. Only one person can bow his head and pass sideways. The peaks on the valley side are rugged and competing to climb high; The mountains are stacked, the sky is cracked, and the cliffs are magnificent. The secret cave in the cave of God has its own meaning.

The valley is winding and the peaks are winding; Step by step, there is a scene, and it is interesting to look up; Springs are tinkling, birds are twittering, and tourists don't soak in cold and hot, which is absolutely true. The whole canyon is like a mountain with a deafening tail, a river drinking water from the reservoir (opening at Kuqa River), and a 99-bend dragon lying on the mountain, which is mysterious. What's even more amazing is that on the cliff about 35 meters deep from Taniguchi 1400, there is also a site of the Thousand Buddha Cave, which was built in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and painted by Danqing. As far as written records and painting art are concerned, it is unique among more than 300 Buddhist grottoes discovered in the ancient western regions.

Taihang Mountain is located at the junction of Hebei Province and Shanxi Province, and extends southward to the junction of Henan Province and Shanxi Province. It starts from the Xishan Mountain in Beijing in the north and reaches the King of Wu near the Yellow River in the south, running northeast-southwest for hundreds of kilometers. It is the eastern edge of the second step of China's topography and the eastern boundary of the Loess Plateau. The geological basement of Taihang Mountain is a composite monoclinal fold.

The east side is a fault structure with a relative height difference of 1500-2000m. Typical alluvial fans and alluvial plains are developed in front of the mountain. From north to south, there are Xiaowutai Mountain (2882 meters above sea level), Taibai Mountain, Baishi Mountain, Langya Mountain, Nantuo Mountain, Yangqu Mountain and Wuwang Mountain. Most rivers in the eastern part of Shanxi Plateau pass through Taihang Mountain and enter Hebei Plain, where they join the water system. Only the Qinhe River system in the southwest flows southward into the Yellow River. Taihang Mountain is an important geographical dividing line in eastern China.
