Photos of Taihang Grand Canyon

Located near the boundary between Shanxi and Henan, the Taihang Grand Canyon offers the scenic areas of Baquan (“Eight Springs”) Gorge, Hongdou ("Red Bean”) Gorge, Qinglong (“Azure Dragon”) Gorge, Heilong Tan (“Black Dragon Pool”), and Zituan Mountain. The whole canyon is a natural oxygen bar, replete with verdant vegetation and clear stream water plunging down from the high mountains and forming marvelous waterfalls. The canyon's attractions are fairly far apart from each other, so when visiting you can take electric cars, boats, cableways, escalators, and other transportation provided by the scenic area to get around more easily.
