Huya Gorge
虎牙大峡谷
A canyon more than a kilometre deep, flanked by jagged peaks resembling tiger teeth, with the Dalongkou Waterfall in its depths, azalea fields in May, and ice cascades in winter.
The Huya Gorge lies across the western part of Pingwu County, around Huya Tibetan Township. Its peaks jut out like interlocking tiger teeth, and the canyon cuts more than a kilometre deep, creating a scene of 'a sky-thread between towering cliffs'. Deep in the gorge, the Dalongkou Waterfall plunges from the cliffs, often showing rainbows in its mist. In May, high mountain azaleas bloom across the slopes, and in winter, ice cascades and icicles form. A scenic shuttle runs from the county town (about 2.5 hours, with few departures each day), but driving is more convenient. Opening hours and admission follow official announcements, and watch for falling rocks during the rainy season. The coordinates given are estimates near Huya Tibetan Township.
