To avoid crowds while visiting, it is suggested to enter the scenic area as soon as the doors open. This way, there will be no need to queue for boat rides or photos, and the overall experience will be better. By the time the majority of visitors arrive, you will already be done with your visit. Emphasize: Avoid crowds and play early in the morning when the sun has not yet shone into the valley and the scenery is cooler. The photos taken with the sun are more beautiful, especially for the popular floating boat, as the shadow under the boat cannot be captured too early. Tour route: Divided into regular sightseeing routes and boat-in, boat-out sightseeing routes. Regular tour routes: Enter the scenic area and start descending the stairs. Then, take the Yun Gang plank road - Gang Bu Tian Ti, and descend a few thousand steps to reach the Waterfront Platform. Here, there will be optional experience projects (which will be introduced later) - Shā Qīn Shuǐ (with a small stream and a waterfall, where you can play in the water and catch small fish. If you have enough time, you can stay longer). Then, cross the Ling Yun Bridge and Lan Su Bridge, and take a boat to tour Ying Cui Valley (to see the scenery of the One-Line Sky, etc.) at the Peach Blossom Ferry. After getting off the boat, enter the Nuo Yuan Cave. Inside, there are two branch caves with observation decks where you can overlook the waterway scenery that the boat passed through earlier. Especially, don't miss the beautiful scenery at the first branch cave. Many people keep climbing stairs with their heads down in the cave, missing the scenery and getting tired. Nuo Yuan Cave is a popular spot in the Ping Shan Grand Canyon with a heart-shaped symbol. Ship entry and exit route (At the ticket office of the visitor center, buy an additional sightseeing boat ticket for 45 yuan/person. Enter the scenic area from the Du Yu building exit. During peak season, this route stops selling tickets at 9:30 am.) The regular tour route enters and exits from the entrance and exit. The boat tour route enters and exits from the exit and exit, reducing about 1200 downward steps compared to entering from the entrance, without walking on the cliff plank road. It is suitable for tourists with acrophobia, younger or older age, poor knees or physical strength. Internet-famous floating raft for taking photos, how many people come just for this photo. The whole trip can be completed in 2-3 hours. It's cool in the mountains, so remember to bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray. The most important thing is to keep an eye on the weather.

From about eleven-thirty in the noon to two-thirty in the afternoon, it's the time when the light is best at the bottom of the valley, and you can go to the suspended scenic spots to take photos. The deeper the water, the more sunlight, and the more beautiful the photos. Precautions⚠️: 1. Do not go on rainy, foggy days, or when it's strictly forbidden, as you won't be able to enter. 2. The entrance to the canyon is steep, so be prepared with anti-slip equipment and emergency medicine. 3. Purchase professional outdoor insurance to prevent accidents. 4. Prepare extra clothes in case you need to change after getting wet. 5. The journey is long, and it takes a whole day to enjoy the canyon.
