: Yucha Grand Canyon Travel Guide
1. Which is the best month to visit Yucha Grand Canyon?
The most suitable season to visit Yucha Grand Canyon is from March to May. If you come during the rainy season, the scenic spot may be closed in case of rain. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the canyon is large, so a thin jacket is required in the canyon. If you don’t bring your own high boots, it is recommended to rent a pair at the entrance of the canyon for 5 yuan a pair. There is indeed deep muddy water in the valley.
2. Attraction opening hours and travel suggestions
It is recommended to visit scenic spots during non-holidays. The official opening time of the scenic spot is 8 a.m., but you can actually enter the scenic spot around 7:30. If time permits, be sure to take photos early in the morning before no one comes. If there is no light, you can take a long exposure, or you can take another photo at noon when the light is better.
There are many local people with photography groups nearby, and you can hire them to lead the way to the local wild canyon. The scenery is not inferior to that of scenic spots, and there are no tourists. You don’t want to save money and want to find it yourself, because you don’t know the road at all, and the road to the wild canyon is not easy to walk. The entrance to the canyon is relatively hidden and difficult to find by yourself.
3. Shooting suggestions
When shooting in the canyon, whether it is landscape or portrait, it is recommended to use a wide-angle lens. The telephoto is completely useless. If you are shooting in the canyon in the morning or evening, you need to bring a tripod and a magnifying glass. If you are shooting creatively, you can bring your own light sources such as flashlights and headlamps.
4. Accommodation suggestions
It is recommended to stay in Xiasiwan Town, 5 kilometers away from Yucha Grand Canyon. There are many local farmhouses in the town. The double double bed rooms are very clean and can basically meet the accommodation requirements of most people. You can also choose to live in Ganquan County, which is more than 30 kilometers away from the scenic spot. However, if you like to take pictures, it is recommended to stay in Xiasiwan Town, because it is very convenient to get up early to enter the scenic spot.
The Judas Grand Canyon is the first scenic spot with unique landforms on my trip to northern Shaanxi. Located in Yucha Village, Xiasiwan Town, 55 kilometers northwest of Ganquan County. Hundreds of millions of years ago, a major earthquake occurred here, and the loess rock mass was split into cracks one after another. After hundreds of millions of years of heavy rain on the plateau, causing flash floods, it has experienced hundreds of years of rain erosion and weathering. The surface has been cut and washed, gradually forming a unique canyon landform. The landform inside the canyon is uneven. With smooth lines like a crescent moon, the official name of the Yucha Grand Canyon is "the wonder of the natural seams on the Loess Plateau", which is completely comparable to the Antelope Canyon in Arizona, USA.
The Yucha Grand Canyon is divided into four scenic spots, namely Yucha Valley, Longbagong Valley, Huabao Valley, Mudan Valley and Huashugou, each with its own characteristics.
Birch Valley is the most popular because it has the most beautiful landforms and is most similar to Antelope Canyon in the United States. At present, the entire Yucha Grand Canyon scenic spot is not very standardized, and there are no official tickets for sale. Visiting here completely depends on the weather. If it is cloudy and rainy and the roads in the canyon are slippery, the four attractions will not be open. If the weather is good, you can visit four attractions in one day, and one or two hours at each attraction is enough.
Although the scenic spot does not sell tickets, the scenic spot management office now sells tickets between scenic spots to tourists. 70 yuan per person. Self-driving cars cannot enter the scenic area and can only park in the free parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area.
The four scenic spots in the Grand Canyon are all a bit far apart. It can only be reached by taking a shuttle bus from the scenic area, and it is inconvenient to walk too far.
Personally, if you stay in a hotel in Xiasiwan Town, you can consult the boss. Local people can take them to the undeveloped wild canyons. There are very few tourists because there are too many tourist groups in the ditch, and there are so many uncles and aunts.
The route of the scenic shuttle bus is fixed and runs in a loop. The first attraction is the famous "Line of Sky". The entrance is crowded and crowded. People outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. Too bad.
Many places in the canyon that are not exposed to sunlight are covered with green moss. They hurriedly squeezed in for two and ran out, thinking that we should wait to go to Birch Valley. After all, there is enough essence there.
The rainy Grand Canyon is low-lying. If it rains, water can easily accumulate in the canyon. Be sure to rent rain boots before entering the canyon after rain, otherwise the shoes will be wasted and muddy. It costs 5 yuan to rent rain boots. There are locals renting them at the entrance of the canyon.
Finally we came to Huashugou and walked into the canyon. It really lived up to its reputation.
Only when you are in Yucha Grand Canyon, you can feel the magic of nature. The sunlight shines through the narrow cracks on the strange-shaped rock walls, drawing layers of smooth corrugated curves. The rock walls are refracted by the light and create brilliant colors. Under the light from different angles at different times, the colors in the canyon are also different. It is really a dreamy world of light and shadow.
Walking into the canyon is like entering another world. It is quiet, mysterious, beautiful and smooth, like colorful waves passing by.
Several people can walk side by side in the wide area of the canyon, but one person has to squeeze through the narrow area.
As you go deeper into the canyon, it becomes narrower and narrower.
At the narrowest point, only one person can pass sideways, and then gradually becomes wider and narrower. I have to sigh with emotion that this hard and rough rock wall can deduce such tenderness, allowing people to appreciate the magic of nature.
Chat with the local villagers of Yucha Village: "Do you townspeople all stay in the park, but come here and there to watch Haxi Sazi (a crack in the stone in northern Shaanxi dialect)? Does this make any sense?" "Then he smiled at me. They don't know that maybe after more people know about this Grand Canyon, it will completely change their lives.
It is relatively difficult to walk in the Grand Canyon in the rain. Sometimes you have to climb high, sometimes you have to tread water and sink, climb tree forks, cross mountain ridges, and soar against cliffs.
Huashugou is indeed the most worth-seeing attraction in Yucha Grand Canyon. It is approximately 800 meters long, with entrance and exit in two different directions. It is a ditch with no turning back, and the scenery in the ditch is also very rich. If time is limited, it is recommended to visit Birch Valley.
When you enter the canyon at noon, you can clearly see the color changes caused by the refraction of light in the canyon.
From earthy yellow to light yellow to orange to the deepest orange, the originally cold canyon suddenly becomes gentle and warm against the backdrop of the green moss growing on the rock walls.
Today's Yucha Grand Canyon has become the dream palace of many photography enthusiasts (but I personally feel that there are still too many old masters). The miraculous workmanship of nature is like a gift from God. It has been hidden in the boudoir for many years and has finally been unveiled by humans.
Being in the canyon is like traveling through a time tunnel. The rock wall has nine turns and the scenery is dazzling. Passing like a wave, the lines are graceful and smooth. Just imagine what kind of crustal vibrations occurred here hundreds of millions of years ago?
Look carefully at the curves on the rock walls in the canyon. Each section is extremely beautiful. The rocks in the canyon were washed away by flash floods like a dream, stretching for thousands of years at a glance. I think this might be the most beautiful scar on earth.
The Grand Canyon is like a wonderful art palace. The valley walls look soft, but are actually hard. The surface of the rock wall appears to have been carefully polished. Layers and textures flow along the rock walls, and the sun shines down from the top of the canyon, turning it into a variety of fantastic colors. So beautiful. Are you sure you don't want to see it?
The more rugged the road in the canyon, the more dreamy the colors reflected by the direct sunlight. Coupled with the sudden flash of green moss, the halo suddenly flashed by, just like the colorful scenery of childhood. Dreamland.
