A pristine gorge about 40 km long in southeastern Jingning, with green mountains on both sides and deeply cut streams, known as the “First Gorge of East China.”
Luxi Gorge, also called Luxi Pit, lies in southeastern Jingning and stretches about 40 km. The gorge is deep and densely wooded on both sides, and its original ecology is well preserved. The stream holds pools, waterfalls and giant boulders, earning it the title “First Gorge of East China.” Development is limited, and it is mainly suited to outdoor activities such as canyoning, stream trekking and hiking. Visitors are advised to join a licensed outdoor team and avoid the gorge during the rainy season and thunderstorms.
