Introduction to the scenic spot of Xingyi Maling River Canyon. The national scenic spot Maling River Canyon is located 6 kilometers northeast of Xingyi City. The Maling River originates from Baiguoling in the Wumeng Mountains. The upper reaches are called Qingshui River. The middle reaches are Mabie Dazhai on both sides.

It is called Maling River together with Maling Village.

In the process of about 100 kilometers from the source to the mouth of the river, the drop is nearly a kilometer, and the ability to cut is strong. A 74.8-kilometer long, valley width of 50-150 meters, and a valley depth of 120-280 meters is cut out on the flat plain at an altitude of 1,200 meters.

Maling River Canyon.

The Maling River Canyon is a concentrated expression of the multi-layered karst landform landscape, and is famous for its cracked valleys, hanging waterfalls, and calcium carbonate walls.

Its landform structure is different from ordinary canyons. It is actually a crack in the ground. Some people say that this is "the most beautiful scar on the earth."

It is this rare seam in the world that creates the majestic, strange, dangerous and steep landscape of the Maling River Canyon Scenic Area, which is very conducive to rafting exploration and sightseeing activities. It is known as "the best seam in the world, the best rafting in China".

The first China International Canoe Rafting Competition was held here.

The cliffs on both sides of the canyon scenic area confront each other, the valley is deep and the current is rapid, and the silver waterfall cascades; at the dangerous beach and rapids, water and rocks compete with each other, and the roaring waves crash on the shore, which is deafening.

Cliff paintings, thousands of springs, and ten thousand caves hang on both sides.

Looking up from the river bed, the two banks look like a gutter against the blue sky and white clouds; looking down from the canyon bridge to the bottom of the valley, the rapid river looks like a crack in the ground.

The most unique calcified waterfall group in the landscape has deep valleys, rapid flows, numerous waterfalls, intact original ecological protection, and so many delicate rock paintings that it constitutes "a strange seam in the southwest and a wonder in the world."

The majestic waterfalls intertwined in the Maling River Gorge are densely clustered with sharp conical peaks. Among the peak forests on both sides, there are also cultural landscapes such as ancient temples, ancient bridges, ancient battlefields, and ancient post roads, which are full of the interest and charm of the ancient wilderness.

Mysterious and deep colors.

According to different landscape characteristics, the scenic area is divided into Chelang Hot Spring, Colorful Corridor, Tianxing Gallery and Zhaojiadu Landscape from top to bottom.

The Maling River Canyon is located in the northeastern part of the entire scenic spot. It is a rift valley cut through the surface by the rapid river water and the underground. It looks like a ground crack when viewed from top to bottom, and a line of gutter when viewed from bottom to top.

The Maling River originates from Baiguoling in the Wumeng Mountains. The upper reaches are called Qingshui River, and the middle reaches are called Maling River because there are Mabie Dazhai and Malingzhai on both sides.

In the approximately 100-kilometer process from the river to its mouth, there is a drop of nearly a kilometer and a strong ability to cut down. The 74.8-kilometer-long Maling River Canyon is cut out of a flat plain at an altitude of 1,200 meters.

Many tributaries on both sides of the Taiwan Strait lag behind the mainstream due to their cutting speed, forming hundreds of waterfalls over 100 meters high falling into the deep valley.

The average width and depth of the canyon are between 200-400 meters, with the narrowest point only 50 meters and the deepest point reaching 500 meters. It is rare to be so narrow and so deep.

The river water in the Kars area is very heavy in calcium carbonate. During the fall, carbon dioxide is quickly released and the calcium carbonate is attached to the cliff.

As time goes by, the calcium carbonate material becomes thicker and thicker, and the area becomes larger and larger, giving birth to large-scale and majestic calcified waterfalls on both sides of the canyon. Only on the cliffs of Zhanggu in the Tianxing Gallery Scenic Area are suspended

The calcified waterfall covering an area of ??more than 300,000 square meters is intertwined with the majestic waterfalls and peaks, forming an extremely rare and rare landscape.

From top to bottom, the Maling River Canyon can be divided into Donglang Hot Spring, Colorful Corridor, Tianxing Gallery, and Zhaojiadu Scenic Area.

The 47.8-kilometer rafting area now open has steep cliffs on both sides and the river water is slow but sometimes rapid.

Take a rubber boat to drift from top to bottom. The natural drop is more than 200 meters, which is extremely dangerous and thrilling.

There are 18 beaches, more than 20 bays, and more than 30 pools along the way.

With twists and turns and boats moving secretly, it is the section with the richest scenery in the canyon.

Among the peaks and forests on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, there are also cultural landscapes such as ancient temples, ancient bridges, ancient battlefields, and ancient post roads, which are full of ancient and wild interest.

The rafting area opened on July 10, 1993.

In 1997, the China International Whitewater Rafting Invitational Competition was held for the first time in the history of our country. The Maling River has been known as the best rafting in China, and rafting tourists came in droves.

The best tourist season is that you can raft in the Grand Canyon all year round. The best season is from June to October. During this period, the canyon waterfalls are at their most complete. You can see 13 waterfalls at one time in the main attractions.
