♦Geographical Location: Located within Suiyang County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, the area sits on the Yungui Plateau, part of China's second-level terrain step, and spans across the three towns of Wenquan, Huangyang, and Qinggangtang.
♦Geological Landform: This is a typical large-scale geological fissure, stretching approximately 13 kilometers from the Bottom Water River along the You Tong Creek in an east-west direction, with a width ranging from 4 to 6 meters. Towering peaks rise dramatically on either side, creating an exceptionally deep and narrow canyon that vividly showcases unique karst landform features.
♦Natural Scenery: The eastern section of the canyon gradually widens, adorned with lush forests. Along the trail, visitors can enjoy attractions such as the Grand Rift Valley, panoramic views of You Tong Creek, Moonlight Bay, and Manwang Cave—each offering breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. High up in You Tong Creek, spring water flows dramatically through a mountain cave, creating an impressive natural spectacle. To reach the upper reaches of the creek—from its lower section to the middle and upper areas—visitors must wade through the cave, making for an adventurous and uniquely enjoyable experience.
♦Ecological Environment: The scenic area is nestled in a region with outstanding ecological conditions, serving as a habitat for rare animals such as the black leaf monkey, red-bellied pheasant, and flying squirrel. It also boasts rare ancient forest plants like Davidia involucrata, Podocarpus macrophyllus, and Taxus chinensis, contributing to its rich biodiversity.
♦Tourism Highlights: This is the perfect destination for sightseeing, outdoor hiking, stream-tracing adventures, and escaping the summer heat to enjoy a refreshing retreat—allowing visitors to connect with nature and experience its magic and tranquility.
