Yuxi Grand Canyon
豫西大峡谷
A valley scenic area in Lushi County with a series of waterfalls and pools. Gorge rafting and glass walkways are the main summer attractions.
Yuxi Grand Canyon lies in Guandaokou Town, Lushi County. Steep cliffs line both sides of the gorge, and the stream forms multi-tiered waterfalls and pools. The scenery is best in summer, when water volume is high. Gorge rafting takes about 1–2 hours, and other attractions include a glass walkway. In autumn, the forests turn colorful, making it a good place for hiking to see the red foliage. The canyon is about 1 hour's drive from central Sanmenxia. Admission is about 60 yuan, and rafting costs extra. Check with the scenic area for current prices. Bring a change of clothes for rafting, and watch for flash-flood warnings during the rainy season.
