Yulu Earth Crack Canyon
雨碌大地缝
A karst gorge in Yulu Township with steep walls, where the valley floor narrows to just a few metres; a boardwalk leads past streams and waterfalls. National 4A-rated scenic area.
Yulu Earth Crack Canyon lies in Yulu Township, about 40 km southeast of Huize county town. It is a karst crevice canyon roughly 10 km long and over 100 metres deep. The developed section follows a boardwalk and suspension bridges along the valley floor, passing a 'Sky Slit' (yixiantian), waterfalls and deep pools. The canyon stays cool in summer. It is a national 4A-rated scenic area, and a round trip takes about 2 to 3 hours. Admission is around 50 yuan (check the scenic area's notice). The trail has many steps, so wear non-slip shoes. The site may close temporarily during flash floods in the rainy season, so confirm before setting out.
