To be honest, this scenic spot is a bit of a rip-off. The tickets are not cheap, but many areas of the scenic spot are under construction and the planning is not good. It takes a long way to get to the main scenic spot, and then you have to pay for the ride out, otherwise you will die. It's really a rip-off. And the scenery is average. The area near the main scenic spot is either under construction or the road is bad. It's not easy to find a good spot to take pictures, and then I have no desire to take pictures.
Tongling Grand Canyon is located in Xinling Village, Hurun Town, Jingxi County, Baise City, Guangxi Province. It is a national 4A-level scenic spot. Tongling Grand Canyon is 3.8 kilometers long and is connected by Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge, underground rivers and tunnels. There is a large waterfall with a single drop of 188.6 meters in the canyon. There are many kinds of precious plants, dense forests and lush greenery. It is known as the "greenest canyon in the world."
To enter the Tongling Grand Canyon, you need to walk down 800 steps. It is not recommended for the elderly with poor legs and feet to visit. Because once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
The scenic area is surrounded by steep cliffs and lush vegetation. There are streams, caves, strange mountains, beautiful trees, green water, waterfalls, and water curtain caves. There are also rare cliff coffin cave burials. It takes 3-4 hours to tour the entire scenic area.
Tongling Grand Canyon is located in Jingxi County, Baise City, Guangxi. The canyon is about 3,800 meters long, 200 meters wide and 300 meters deep. It is connected by Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge, underground rivers and tunnels, and is connected to the sky and the earth, like a beautiful scar on the earth. The Tongling Grand Waterfall, the highest single-stage waterfall in Asia with a drop of 188 meters, is full of greenery. Many precious ancient creatures are full of vitality. The deep canyon, waterfalls, clear streams and green vegetation complement each other, making the whole canyon full of spiritual energy.
"Shijing Dongtian" is a major feature of the canyon. The canyon is home to rare ancient cliff burials, ancient stone ramparts, cave waterfalls, underground rivers, canyon streams, as well as stalactites and underground springs in fantastic shapes. In particular, the rare and primitive plants are lush and green, rendering the entire canyon green and emerald green, making it known as the greenest canyon in China.
Friends who have been to the Tongling Grand Canyon have mixed opinions on the scenery. The scenery of the Tongling Grand Canyon is indeed poor when the weather is not good and the water is not big. It is not particularly beautiful to see only one place. The cave is not beautiful, the canyon is not dangerous, the river is not fast, and the waterfall is not wide. But after walking the whole way, you will find that there are waterfalls that fall straight down, deep and unpredictable canyons, clear and winding streams, as well as strange cave waterfalls and verdant vegetation in the mountains. You will feel that the scenery of the Tongling Grand Canyon is actually perfect and charming. The canyon shows its unique characteristics of being both smart and elegant, full of vitality, quiet and peaceful, and cool and pleasant. If it is April, the golden worry-free flowers will bloom all over the valley, which will be another scene. If it is the flood season in summer, the water level in the valley will rise sharply, and the waterfall will become more spectacular. The scenery is different in different seasons. In short, if you experience it with your heart, the Tongling Grand Canyon is worth a visit. To use a line from the background song of this travel note, it is: "If you love with your heart, there will be beautiful flowers."

Tongling Grand Canyon is 3.8 kilometers long and is connected by Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge, underground rivers and tunnels. It is connected to the sky and the earth, and has a spiritual atmosphere. The Grand Canyon was originally a blind valley. Due to the influence of geological movement, the top of the blind valley collapsed, forming a large tiankeng, surrounded by steep cliffs and magnificent scenery. The canyon presents a scene full of vitality.
It's a spectacular waterfall, but it may not be very friendly to the elderly. The first step down is still a bit long.
The reputation is not worthy of it. The supporting facilities and services are not in line with the ticket price and publicity. The waterfall is still worth seeing at the end.
Take the children for a walk and get to know many rare plants. It is worth a visit.
A 4A-level scenic spot in Baise, with canyons and waterfalls, and beautiful scenery
It is one of the two top recommended scenic spots in Jingxi. It has the rare "waterfall in the cave, typical fantasy lava and plant kingdom" in my country. The whole scenic area is a bit like a U-shape, with high ends and low middle. You will have endless fun after a circle tour.
The canyon is nearly 200 meters deep, with waterfalls falling from the sky, a lot of water mist, and a nice underground river.
I went to Guangxi on a business trip and saw the advertisement in the subway. I had nothing to do on the weekend, so I went there alone. I took the train from Nanning to Jingxi in the afternoon, which took more than 4 hours. When I arrived in Jingxi County, I directly booked a hotel and stayed overnight. The next morning, I arranged a ride to the scenic spot. The scenery was beautiful, but it was a pity that it was the dry season when I went there, so the water in the waterfall was very small. However, you can go around behind the waterfall and feel like you have entered the Water Curtain Cave, which is very fun.
The Tongling Grand Canyon is really beautiful. There is no need to go rafting, and there are free tour guides to guide you.
The tour guide gave us two hours. Aunt Xu's explanations were very good. Her photography skills were also superb. She knew how to take good photos and sang folk songs beautifully. She is really a super nice lady.
The cliffs are thousands of feet high, and nature's uncanny workmanship has carved out intricate underground rivers.
Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge and underground rivers and tunnels are interconnected, like a beautiful scratch on the earth.
Cascading waterfalls, steep and deep canyons, clear and winding streams, unique cave waterfalls and lush green vegetation.
It enriches the charming landscape of the Grand Canyon, making it lively and full of vitality.
The valley is full of verdant trees and gurgling water, and the entire canyon is filled with a refreshing spiritual energy.
The high-hanging waterfall is like a huge white silk rushing down, making a thunderous sound and emitting white mist all over the sky.
There is also a magical water curtain cave here, which is magnificent!
As you get closer to the Tongling Grand Canyon, you can start to hear the sound of water, and the green mountains and clear waters create a beautiful pastoral scenery.
Tongling Grand Canyon is a closed canyon. Due to the movement of the earth's crust and the action of underground rivers, cracks and sinkholes were formed. The canyon is rich in plant species and is a rare treasure trove of plants.
Due to the karst topography, there is a very large cave in the canyon. After thousands of years of action, it has formed all kinds of bizarre stalactites, which appear even more mysterious under the light.
There is an opening on one side of the cave, and through the opening you can follow the underground river to the Tongling Waterfall.
The spring water gurgles and flows downstream, while the green leaves are shady and dancing in the wind.
At the end of the canyon is a waterfall. The waterfall is about one hundred meters high, and you can really feel the artistic conception of a waterfall dropping three thousand feet.
The way back was along the underground river, with a little dripping water along the way, and the experience of the caves and canyons in the bright summer was quite good.
The other exit is slightly larger. After exiting the cave and walking a little further, you will reach the shuttle bus station for the scenic area.
Generally speaking, Tongling Grand Canyon is a good place to cool off. There are Zhuang costumes by the waterfall that you can wear and take photos. It costs ten yuan per photo. It’s a pity that there is a water curtain cave inside the waterfall that we didn’t go into. Because it is the flood season, the water flow is large. Considering safety issues, it is inconvenient to visit during the flood season.
The tour guide said there were 818 steps and my legs cramped when I walked there, but in reality, it was not that tiring to walk slowly. At the end of the Tongling Grand Canyon is a big waterfall! Many tourists come here to take pictures! Taking pictures under the waterfall is really beautiful!
There is a village market on the way back to the Grand Canyon, where many people sell herbs and spices picked from the mountains! The prices are not expensive!
There is a performance at the intersection of the scenic spot! There are talents and audience interaction! It is the dating song game here.
The entrance to the scenic area is in the middle and upper part of the Grand Canyon. You need to go down to the bottom of the valley. As soon as you enter the canyon, you will be blown by waves of refreshing cold wind from bottom to top, which immediately makes you refreshed. Because it is a downward route, there is basically no pause. You walk down about 200 to 300 meters in one breath to the core part of the valley bottom, and then you can see the amazing part of this Grand Canyon. It is like a crack in the earth, deep in the green valley. This is a rare natural and cultural landscape in China that combines waterfalls, cave waterfalls, underground rivers, canyon streams, cave wonders, ancient stone fortresses, ancient cliff burials, and primitive vegetation. The unique natural environment makes the plants in the canyon flourish and dense, and a clear stream is always accompanied. During the process, you need to pass through several naturally formed tunnels. The whole scenic area is full of green valleys, gurgling streams, and a refreshing aura is everywhere. The tourist trail is 10 kilometers long. Except for the exposed rocks by the stream at the bottom of the valley, everything is green. Different kinds of green merge into a green world. According to the introduction of the tour guides of other travel groups, there are more than ten rare species under national key protection among these numerous plants. Walking through such a refreshing canyon, you can't feel the so-called hardship of the journey at all. With the deafening sound of the waterfall falling from far to near, the end of the scenic area, Tongling Waterfall, should not be far away. After seeing the waterfall, take a short rest in an open space, or read the introduction of the scenic spot carefully. You will learn that the waterfall has a drop of 188 meters, which is rare in China and the largest single-stage drop in Asia. There are also underground rivers and waterfalls under the waterfall. It seems pale to describe it as spectacular and shocking.
I heard from a passing tour guide that there were physical traces of people living in this canyon as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, and the ancient Yue people buried their ancestors in cliffs or caves. I really envy the ancients who once lived and were buried in the canyon. It must have taken thousands of years to be born and buried here.
With greenery, clouds, and streams accompanying you all the way, why not enjoy the gorgeous gifts of nature to the fullest? You will be thoroughly cleansed by the fresh, oxygen-rich air in the canyon throughout the morning. Your breath seems to carry the fragrance of plants, and your steps on the return trip are as light as flying, as if you were ten years younger.
There are many large trucks on the way, so drive carefully. The waterfalls along the way and the highway on the opposite side are very beautiful and spectacular. The Tongling Grand Canyon scenic area is not large, so it is recommended to wear sandals because the cave drips all year round and sneakers are easily wet. At the end of the scenic area is a large waterfall. The water flow is not large, but it is very high. You can rent ethnic costumes to take pictures inside for 10 yuan per photo. The kids can experience it. There is a shuttle bus at the exit of the scenic area to the entrance parking lot. This time you must take the shuttle bus, otherwise it is more than a kilometer of road, the sun is directly shining, and it is all climbing, and you will be tired.
The scenery of Tongling Grand Canyon, in my opinion, is quite average and not worth the 90 yuan ticket. But it may be a good place to cool down in the local area. The most amazing thing in the scenic area is the "Tongling Waterfall", the largest single waterfall in Asia, 188.6 meters. The sun just came out when I took the photo, which was very spectacular. The service in the scenic area is very good. Luggage storage costs 10 yuan, but if you rent an automatic tour guide (rental is 20 yuan), luggage storage is free, and the automatic tour guide can also charge your mobile phone, which is very cost-effective. The young ladies in the scenic area service center are very enthusiastic and have a particularly good service attitude. There is no bus to go there. I took a bus from Detian to Shuolong. Shuolong stayed for one night. The next morning, I waited for the bus in Shuolong. The boss lady said that I could take the bus from Longzhou to Jingxi. As a result, I waited from nine in the morning to eleven o'clock, and still took a bus from Shuolong to Xialei (5 yuan), from Xialei to Hurun (5 yuan), and then took the bus from Hurun to Jingxi (5 yuan). I got off the bus on the roadside halfway and walked two kilometers to reach the scenic area. It is really inconvenient to travel independently. I guess everyone except me drove on the road that day. On the way back, the sun came out, it was hot and sunny, so I hired a car in anger.
The Tongling Grand Canyon is located in Jingxi County, Baise City, Guangxi Province. The canyon is about 3,800 meters long, 200 meters wide and 300 meters deep. It is connected by the Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge and underground rivers and tunnels. It stretches from heaven to earth, and is agile and elegant, like a beautiful scar on the earth.
The valley is full of lush greenery, the stream is gurgling, and the whole canyon is filled with a refreshing spiritual energy.
Tickets are 115 yuan, 99 yuan if ordered online. The tour lasts 3 to 4 hours.
A scenic spot worth visiting in Jingxi, it is recommended to visit during the Fengshui period in summer
We drove for 8 hours at night. One-third of the highway has a speed limit of 60-80 ☹️. If you book your tickets online, you have to wait two hours to get them. The waterfall in the entire scenic area is okay, and it is a bit shocking. I won't explain the rest. It is suitable for people nearby to spend the weekend. It rained today, so there are not many tourists. This is my personal feeling and does not represent the thoughts of others.
The ticket price is 115, which is a bit expensive. The public facilities and services are poor, and the cost performance is low! There are few attractions, only one waterfall and some caves to watch. I personally think there is nothing to see. In addition, there are many vendors selling herbal medicines. Don't buy them, otherwise you will regret it. Remember this.
Tongling Grand Canyon provides free parking and the tickets are not expensive. There are many farm vegetables on both sides before entering the scenic area. Drinking water and food can also be bought everywhere in the scenic area, which is quite convenient.
It is recommended to bring a raincoat. There is a waterfall in Tongling Grand Canyon, called Tongling Grand Waterfall. When you visit, you can enter the cave in the waterfall. Because the drop is relatively large, there is a lot of water mist splashing out. If you want to feel the majesty of the waterfall but don't want to get wet, it is best to take adequate protective measures.
The scenic area is entered from the mountain first, and then goes down into the canyon. The road is quite humid, so the road surface is quite slippery and the stairs are quite steep. It is best to walk slowly holding the handrail to avoid falling.
When you get down to the platform, the mountain water and groundwater converge together. The water flows rapidly, and the lush plants on both sides create a beautiful sight.
There is a viewing platform below the waterfall, where you can rent Zhuang clothes and take photos.
The passage below the waterfall allows you to look up at the waterfall from below, and its imposingness is enough to amaze you. There are also some stalactites in the passage, which are very smooth due to long-term erosion by water, but it is best not to touch them casually to avoid damaging the structure.
On both sides of the passage exit are some wild rare plants. Thanks to the environment here, they can survive in an increasingly harsh environment.
Because the exit is at the bottom of the canyon, the commercialization is reflected when you come out. You can take a battery car for dozens of yuan per person, and the ride takes less than 5 minutes. However, the ticket seller will tell you that it takes an hour to walk up. We thought about it and decided that the drop down was not very big, so it should not be very far. So we chose to walk up the winding mountain road slowly, and it only took less than 20 minutes. The scenery on the road is also good. Even in the golden autumn season, there is still greenery everywhere.
**Remind friends who are going to go there not to pay attention to the herbal medicine stalls along the way** Before I went there, I read in the guide that someone had been fooled. There were agents at these herbal medicine stalls. Everyone was acting according to a script. The fake customer asked if there was any Panax notoginseng, and then the boss pointed to the table and said a price. The fake customer seemed very professional and said that you have cultivated ones and I want wild ones. The boss then took out a box of wild Panax notoginseng from under the table and quoted a price. The two began to bargain. The fake customer generously lowered the price and said I would take half of this price, you just grind it for me! If you were to join in the fun and buy something at this time, you would be fooled. Once it is ground into powder, you would have to buy it even if you don’t want to! ! ! As long as you observe carefully, you will find that the dialogues at each stall are the same (´▽`) Especially the elderly are easily fooled
Tongling Grand Canyon is located in Xinling Village, Hurun Town, 32 kilometers southeast of Jingxi County, at the southern end of the Gulong Mountain Water Source Forest Nature Reserve. It consists of Nianba Gorge, Tonglingxia Gorge, Gulao Gorge, Xinling Gorge, and Xinqiao Gorge, with a total length of more than 10 kilometers. The Nianba River slowly flows down from the Gulong Mountains, passing through five canyons in turn and flowing into the Hurun Terrace. Each canyon is home to rare natural and cultural landscapes such as super-high waterfalls, waterfalls in caves, underground rivers, canyon streams, cave wonders, ancient stone fortresses, ancient hanging burials, and primitive vegetation.
I saw many people saying that they were disappointed with the waterfall and that it was not worth the ticket price. That’s because you went at the wrong time. I went there during the rainy season, and it was beautiful even on a cloudy day!
It is more spectacular in summer when the water is abundant. The route design of the scenic area is relatively reasonable. There are many waterfalls and karst caves along the way. The climate at the bottom of the canyon is hot and humid, and many rare plants grow. The big waterfall is the main attraction. The tropical plants on both sides of the waterfall are covered with rock walls, which are very tropical. The guide signs in the scenic area are clear and obvious. The parking lot charges 10 yuan, but the management is relatively standardized; the scenic area is not far from the highway. The asphalt road is easy to drive, and the scenery along the way is also typical Yungui scenery; the entrance and exit of the scenic area are different. There is a shuttle bus from the exit to the entrance. It costs 5 yuan per person. Although it is not far, the road is very steep! If you are tired of walking in the canyon, you will feel that the money is worth it. Although it is not the best season, it is better than expected. You can buy tickets online two hours in advance, which is more cost-effective than buying on the spot. You can enter the park by swiping the mobile phone QR code voucher, which is very convenient.
There is a waterfall and a cave in the middle of the market, which is totally unworthy of being a 4A scenic spot, so the ticket price is even more expensive. The waterfall is high, but any other place is higher than this one; the cave is beautiful, but it is also very so-so, not as good as any other cave; along the way are simple sheds and stalls with colorful strips of cloth, which pollutes the scene; there are few toilets and no clear signs, so many people have to go to the woods to take care of themselves, and the smell wafts from time to time; there are few trash cans, and many people litter them.

The reputation is big, I feel so-so, the ticket is 90 yuan! I walked out for more than an hour, and there is a Gulongshan Grand Canyon at the door
The ticket is 115 yuan, and you can take the urban and rural bus to Jingxi South Station for 12 yuan, which takes about 50 minutes. Tell the driver that you want to go to Tongling Grand Canyon. When you reach the intersection, the driver will ask you to get off. After getting off the bus, there is a distance of 1,500 meters, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the scenic spot. Tongling Grand Canyon is adjacent to Gudong Grand Canyon.
Like Detian, I didn't hold out hope. I always felt that this ticket was very expensive. It was 115 yuan on site, and 90 yuan if I bought it online one day in advance. I went down to the bottom of the valley from the entrance, passed through the cave in the middle, and then walked along the mountain road along the creek all the way to the waterfall. The waterfall had a large drop, but it didn't feel as shocking as advertised. Until I finished seeing the waterfall, I still felt that the ticket was not worth it. I was shocked only after entering the Water Curtain Cave at the back. Although it was winter, the water was still very strong. It was best to have an umbrella, otherwise you would get wet. Fortunately, I had a straw hat to save my hair, but my clothes were still wet. There was a waterfall in the cave, and there were caves in the cave. The developer also designed the cave, which was considered attentive and interesting. After exiting the Water Curtain Cave, there is a section of the original road that returns to the bottom of the valley, and then there is another fork up the mountain. This section of the mountain road is also in the cave curtain. There is also an underground river in the cave, which is quite fun. After exiting the cave, there will be a five-yuan car to the entrance. I still took the car because I was in a hurry. If you have time, you should still take a walk, which is quite good.
This was originally a natural blind valley, with trees and water, and it is a relatively spiritual place. The waterfall in the canyon has a large drop and abundant water. The fruits in the canyon are also delicious. There are Chinese herbal medicines for sale, I don't know if they are real or not, but the people there feel quite simple. It is worth a visit.
The famous Tongling Canyon in Baise has a drop of 188 meters. Since there is less rainfall in April, you can enter the waterfall cave. The Tongling Canyon scenic area is not large, and the road is flat and easy to walk. Men, women, young and old can come and see it. It can be completed within 2 hours.
Tongling Grand Canyon: Among the scenic spots in Jingxi, Tongling Grand Canyon has the highest reputation and the most expensive tickets. I personally think that the cost performance is relatively low. It is two kilometers away from the exit. I hooked up with the Gulongshan Canyon drifting boatman for 10 yuan and took his motorcycle to go there. After entering the scenic area, go down the steps to the bottom of the canyon. Not far along the river, you can see the waterfall flowing down the cliff. You can also walk along the plank road to the cave inside the mountain wall. The roar of the waterfall is deafening, and you will get wet if you are not careful. The return trip is to go through the underground cave and then take the shuttle bus back to the entrance of the scenic area.
The star attraction of Tongling Grand Canyon is a super-high waterfall with a single-stage drop of more than 160 meters and a width of 30 meters. It is really like putting a tie on the mountain. It is said that the water volume is huge in summer, and it is like raining at a distance of hundreds of meters, and you will be completely wet in two minutes. The water volume is smaller in autumn, and it is not so spectacular, but you can go into the belly of the waterfall to play. The underground river that accompanied us all the way merges with the waterfall falling from the sky at Yuanyangtan, and then gathers the Jiudie Waterfall in the cave, and flows underground to Vietnam.
I went there many years ago. It has beautiful scenery, is cool and comfortable in summer, and is a summer resort. You can also go rafting.
Tongling Grand Canyon is more fun than Detian Waterfall. We chartered a car for one day to visit Equan, Jiuzhou, Detian Waterfall and Tongling Grand Canyon. Although it was very rushed, the itinerary was rich. There are many green plants along the way in Tongling Grand Canyon, and the gurgling water is walking beside you. There is a small waterfall with a large drop on the way down the stone steps. It rushes down three thousand feet. I like it. Looking at Tongling Grand Waterfall from a distance, it feels that although the drop is large, the water volume is not large. It is not bad to get close to it. The Water Curtain Cave is fun, and the waterfall inside is a surprise! In terms of watching waterfalls alone, Tongling Waterfall is indeed not as beautiful as Detian Waterfall, but the ticket for Detian 80 is just to see a waterfall, and the ticket for Tongling 90 has other things to see and play besides the waterfall. If you have time, you can go to see both. If you don’t have time and have to choose one, I recommend Tongling Grand Canyon!
I didn't have much expectation after reading the reviews of the scenic spot. Later I found that the landscape was completely beyond my expectations. It integrates caves, waterfalls, underground rivers, waterfalls, sea of clouds, cenotes, and hanging coffins. I, a person who has traveled all over Yunnan, am amazed by it. The scenic spot charges are consistent with Guangxi's usual style. If you buy online three hours in advance, you will have no chance to buy online. But when you arrive at the entrance of the scenic spot, various full-time tour guides can help you buy cheap tickets, haha. I like that the scenic spot does not go back, and you can have different experiences along the way. You don't need to take the 5 yuan sightseeing bus on the return trip, it's only 1.1 kilometers. On the way, we met goats and caught butterflies, and the children were so happy! Why do you have to queue up for the bus? There are actually bats in the cave, and the children also saw it for the first time!
Tongling Grand Canyon, it was drizzling all the way, walking slowly, it was very interesting! !
【Location】Xinling Village, Hurun Town
Cost: ¥80
It’s so famous that you have to come here in the rain. The environment and scenery are first-class!
The extremely quiet canyon is full of greenery, which makes one feel peaceful and happy. . I can't help but think of Su Shi's sentence "Don't listen to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, why not sing and walk slowly." .
The drizzle added to the tranquility of the valley. . It was a rare opportunity for the people of the imperial capital to relax, so great!
[Scenery] First go down to the bottom of the valley. The road is not far, and it winds down along the steps. After reaching the bottom of the valley, follow a turbulent stream to the foot of the waterfall. When you look up, you will see the waterfall falling straight down, which is really breathtaking!
[Note] A heavy rain last month destroyed the small bridge in the Water Curtain Cave, and it has not been repaired yet. Therefore, there is a fence at the bridge head. You can no longer go to see the Water Curtain Cave, which is a pity!
The return route is basically the same, but you need to walk on the right side in the cave to see the colorful lights reflected on the stalactites (people in the capital have a basic understanding of Shihua Cave, so it is not surprising). Keep walking and not far to the right of the fork in the road is the bus station. There are more tourists during the peak season and you need to wait in a queue but it is not too long.
The overall feeling is: it is a great place to cleanse the soul and let go of restlessness.
People in big cities should let go of themselves from time to time. Struggling is hard, of course, but don’t live too hard. . .
I have always wanted to go to the Ruyuan Grand Canyon in Shaoguan, but never had the chance. I thought it would be nice to visit the Tongling Grand Canyon, but it was quite disappointing, it was unremarkable and I couldn't get a bird's eye view of the scenic area.
Go down thousands of steps to the bottom of the valley, where you will see ancient plants, fresh air, and beautiful waterfalls.
We went there in October, starting from Detian Waterfall to Tongling Grand Canyon. It was also more than 30 kilometers, but in Guangxi, the concept of high speed cannot be used to convert time. For example, it took us more than an hour to reach the Grand Canyon for the same 30 kilometers. Maybe we arrived late, the parking lot closest to the scenic spot was full, so we had no choice but to park in the parking lot of Gulongshan Scenic Area in front and take a "wild car" into the scenic area!
The Tongling Grand Canyon is actually no different from other canyons. The purpose of coming here is to embrace nature and breathe in the air of health.
The most famous feature of the Grand Canyon is the waterfall with a drop of 188 meters and a width of 30 meters. Unfortunately, the water volume was not sufficient in October and the waterfall lacked momentum. In addition, we had just been through the Detian Waterfall, so the waterfall here could not impress us. However, the drop is high enough and I believe it should be quite spectacular during the flood season in summer.
I think it's great. Tickets bought in advance are cheaper. The scenery is good. The waterfall in the Water Curtain Cave is very shocking. It's much more fun than Detian. The road down the stairs is slippery, so be careful.
The Tongling Grand Canyon National AAAA-level Scenic Area is located in Jingxi County, Baise City, Guangxi Province. It is located south of the Tropic of Cancer, on the southern edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, 230 kilometers away from Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Province, and belongs to the subtropical region.
The Tongling Grand Canyon is 2.8 kilometers long and is connected by the Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge, underground rivers and tunnels. It is connected to the sky and the earth, and is full of spiritual energy. The canyon is thousands of feet high and deep, with giant stalactites hanging upside down on the cliffs, ancient trees and vines covering the sky, and mysterious caves and deep pools scattered everywhere. There are water curtain caves, underground rivers and magnificent waterfalls, winding rivers, gurgling water, and the valley is full of green. The Tongling Grand Canyon was originally a blind valley. Due to the influence of crustal movement, the heavens and the earth have formed a large tiankeng, surrounded by steep cliffs and magnificent momentum. The deep canyon, clear streams, lush vegetation and the 188.6-meter Tongling Grand Waterfall complement each other, making the entire canyon full of vitality and spirituality.
The things inside are worth visiting, the stream, the waterfall... I will also go here when I go to Detian Waterfall
Actually, I came here with hope. The environment and other things are okay, but the ticket is a little expensive, 115 yuan per ticket. There is no one to manage the scenic area. The waterfall is quite beautiful, but we were cheated on the way back. There are people selling herbal medicine inside. Everyone, don’t buy herbal medicine in the scenic area in the future. We looked at a stall on the way back and wanted to buy some anti-rheumatic medicine for my elderly grandmother. But when we just looked, a passerby pretending to be a shopper came over and chatted with us. After seeing what we were looking at, he talked about how good the thing was and what it could cure. He seemed to know a lot about it. We asked him how he knew, and he said he was a doctor and knew a lot about it. Then he asked the boss for the price, and the boss said 18 yuan. He said that he used to buy it for eight yuan. We also thought that this person was very capable and good at bargaining. The boss looked embarrassed and said no, and the person pretended to leave. Finally, the boss asked him to come back and sell it to him. I asked if it was eight yuan per catty or One or two ounces. He said that good things should not be fussy about these things. My brain really short-circuited at that time. Finally, when we were weighing it, the agent said it was best to grind it into powder. He told the boss to grind it into powder before weighing it, otherwise we would suffer a loss if he weighed it and ground it. We were a little grateful to him for thinking about us at that time, but afterwards, I thought that he was just afraid that if it was not ground into powder, it would be expensive and we would not want it. Finally, after it was ground and weighed, it was 8 yuan per gram. Damn, ours was 6,600 and the agent's was 11,600. The agent swiped the card, but we didn't see how much was swiped, and we didn't want it either. But it was all ground into powder, so we had to give it up. In the end, I gritted my teeth and spent 6,600 to buy a bunch of junk. After I got home, I took it to the Chinese medicine store and asked, and the boss said that it was powdered from tree roots. I was so angry, so I advise everyone not to buy so-called Chinese medicinal materials in scenic spots in the future. They are all fake. Although it is a bit out of context when I said they were all fake, I suffered a huge loss. I would rather go to the drugstore and spend more money to buy the real ones.
Tongling Grand Canyon, January 11, 2015, Baise.
I stayed in Guangxi for a few days before planning to go out and play. Since I lived in Tiandong at the time, I had a lot of time, so I looked for travel guides by myself and planned to travel independently. I took a bus to Jingxi, but due to lack of time, I could only stay in Jingxi for one night. The next morning, I got up and went to the old bus station in Jingxi (on the map), walked in and found the bus to Hurun Town directly, bought a ticket on the bus and got off at Tongling intersection. It was about an hour's drive for 12 yuan. After getting off the bus, there was a mini-bus at the intersection to Tongling Scenic Area for 5 yuan per person. When I arrived at the scenic area, I could buy a ticket by myself. The scenery inside was not bad. Maybe the water volume was not large when I went there, and the waterfall was not very shocking. It took about 2-3 hours to play inside. If you don't go to Detian Waterfall, you can go back. You can find someone to share a car to go to Detian Waterfall. If you want to go by charter, it's best not to exceed 150. You should be able to go. It is recommended to go directly to the entrance of the scenic area and book the ticket in advance for 80 yuan (refer to online advance booking to ensure that you can get the ticket immediately at the entrance of the scenic spot), so you don't need to buy the scenic area battery car for 45 yuan. When I went there, I stayed in Shuolong Town. In fact, I shouldn't stay in Shuolong Town. It's really inconvenient. After entering, I took a bamboo raft directly to a certain point. It is very necessary. It is the best viewing point, and then there are boundary markers above. You can go shopping. There are Vietnamese products for sale on the way. Remember to bargain and buy according to your needs. After shopping, you can go out according to your own time. There are cars to Nanning and Daxin. For other cars, see if you can share a car. Because I went to Yunnan later, many of the photos were deleted.
The whole journey is walking and aerobic exercise. Please bring a raincoat. Umbrellas are not allowed when entering the waterfall. The whole journey takes 2 hours.
This is a must-see. It's so stunning. I have to admire the wonders of nature.
Although the water flow is not very large in March, it is still recommended to wear waterproof jackets or raincoats when you go inside, otherwise you will get wet (of course, you don’t need to wear waterproof jackets or raincoats in the summer, as the clothes will dry out in the sun). When you return to the gate, it is recommended to either return from the entrance of the scenic area or take a bus for 5 yuan. If you don’t take a bus, you have to climb a long slope to return, which is all uphill and long (people with sufficient physical strength can try it)
We passed Tongling Grand Canyon on the way and took a walk around the entrance. The canyon is mainly for viewing waterfalls and rafting. Firstly, the season was not suitable, and secondly, we wanted to see the more spectacular Detian Waterfall, so we decided to pass this attraction.
The Grand Canyon contains diverse natural landscapes, including mountains, streams, caves, waterfalls, and water curtain caves, making it a great place to escape the summer heat.
The ticket to the scenic spot is 115 yuan, which is relatively expensive. It was just after the National Day and it was not a weekend, so there were not many people. I first came to a winding cave along the stairs, and then walked along the river to the end, and saw the water falling from a height of dozens of meters. From a distance, the amount of water seemed to be quite small, not as spectacular as imagined, but as I got closer, the sound of the water became louder and louder. The falling water and the splashing water on the stone wall formed a mist, which fell on the passage like heavy rain. Fortunately, everyone brought an umbrella. Looking at the photos during the National Day, many people bought disposable raincoats to wear. You can feel its majestic momentum when you get closer. Walking into the mountains below the canyon, there are some stalactites and hanging coffin cave burials, but I didn't see the hanging coffins. The natural scenery is still worth seeing.
I signed up for a very cost-effective tour in Nanning, which cost more than 700 yuan per person. It included one day at the Tongling Grand Canyon and one day at the Detian Waterfall. The Mingshi Farm was at one's own expense. The accommodation was pretty good, it was definitely worth it, there were two S-level beautiful views.

A very primitive ecological and natural place with a spectacular waterfall
The waterfalls are spectacular, the canyons are steep and deep, the water is clear, the air is good, and the vegetation is rich. Except for Xishuangbanna, this is the place with the most plant species.
There is a unique beauty and different scenery, but the transportation is not very convenient. This is an area that needs to be improved.
We went there on October 15, 2012. We didn't go there specifically for fun. We were driving from Daxin County along the S316 Provincial Road to Jingxi. We saw a sign for the Tongling Grand Canyon, which said that the Tongling Grand Canyon was 1,500 meters inside, so we went in!
There weren't many people there at the time, and the canyon is quite long. We went in from the ticket office, walked to the end, and took the bus out, which took a total of 2 hours. The ticket cost 90 yuan.
The air inside is fresh, because it is at the bottom of the valley, it is a bit humid, but the scenery is still good! There is a waterfall! The ticket price is a bit high, but it is worth seeing!
Tongling Grand Canyon is located in Xinling Village, Hurun Town, 32 kilometers southeast of Jingxi County, at the southern end of the Gulong Mountain Water Source Forest Nature Reserve. It consists of Nianba Gorge, Tonglingxia Gorge, Gulao Gorge, Xinling Gorge, and Xinqiao Gorge, with a total length of more than 10 kilometers. The Nianba River slowly flows down from the Gulong Mountains, passing through five canyons in turn and flowing into the Hurun Terrace. Each canyon is home to rare natural and cultural landscapes such as super-high waterfalls, waterfalls in caves, underground rivers, canyon streams, cave wonders, ancient stone fortresses, ancient hanging burials, and primitive vegetation.
It is like spring all year round, the scenery is pleasant, the waterfalls are very drifting, and there are many plants that cannot be named.
The first problem to deal with after getting off the bus was the 2-kilometer mountain road from the highway to the entrance of the canyon. The Internet said there were motorcycles or tricycles, but I didn't see any, so I had to walk. The second thing was how to deal with my wife's 28-inch suitcase. Although the Internet said that it could be stored for free in Tongling Canyon, I guess my hands would be broken if I had to push the suitcase for 2 kilometers. Fortunately, the Gulongshan Visitor Center at the entrance of the highway can store luggage. The third problem was to eat quickly. In fact, the entrance of the highway is a small village with many farmhouses, and the prices are expensive. We ordered a bowl of wild vegetable soup and egg fried rice for 30 yuan. After a quick solution, we walked into the mountain and it was estimated that it would take half an hour to reach the archway. Next to the archway is Tongling Mountain Villa. Many buses stop here. 200 meters in front of the archway is the entrance to the Grand Canyon.
Tongling Canyon is a must-see. The attractions include China's highest single-stage waterfall, waterfall in the cave, water curtain cave, and tropical jungle. There is a Tropic of Cancer sign in Tongling Canyon. In other words, this is the dividing line between the temperate zone and the tropical zone. Daxin Detian is actually south of the Tropic of Cancer.
Starting from Detian Waterfall, it is a 30-kilometer mountain road to Tongling Grand Canyon. The waterfall is spectacular and the scenery inside the waterfall is even more interesting.
The Tongling Grand Canyon is 2.8 kilometers long and is connected by the Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge, underground rivers and tunnels. It is connected to the sky and the earth, and is full of spiritual energy. The canyon is thousands of feet high and deep, with giant stalactites hanging upside down on the cliffs, ancient trees and vines covering the sky, and mysterious caves and deep pools scattered all over the place. There are water curtain caves, underground rivers and magnificent waterfalls, winding rivers, gurgling water, and the valley is full of green. The Tongling Grand Canyon was originally a blind valley. Due to the influence of crustal movement, the sky and the earth formed a large tiankeng, surrounded by steep cliffs and magnificent momentum. The deep canyon, clear streams, lush vegetation and the 188.6-meter Tongling Grand Waterfall complement each other, making the whole canyon full of vitality and spirituality. It is worth a visit.
Guangxi has a 4-day holiday on March 3rd, so I chose to travel to Jingxi on the 2nd. It takes 4 hours to take a train from Nanning to Jingxi. It is not a high-speed train, so it is slow! Because I didn't book tickets in advance, there were no seats on the return trip, but don't worry, if you are lucky, you will be in a hard seat car converted from a sleeper car, where the window seats are free, first come first served, or you can go directly to the sleeper, the conductor doesn't care. On the first day, I arranged two attractions, Tongling Canyon and Gulong Mountain Rafting, because these two attractions are next to each other, so there is no need to run the same route. After experiencing it myself, one day is enough for two attractions. Of course, you have to get up early, visit Tongling in the morning, walk the mountain road to see the waterfall, and go to Gulong Mountain Rafting at noon. The photo taking fee in front of Tongling Waterfall is not expensive, 10 yuan per photo. Tourists can copy the film for free with a USB flash drive. The local villagers are quite simple. Needless to say, there are many Tongling waterfalls. In fact, what I want most is to go to the top of the waterfall and have a panoramic view of the mountains. It would be great if the scenic spot could develop this corridor. Personally, I feel that rafting in Gulong Mountain is more interesting. Although it is not the kind of rafting that is particularly exciting and screaming, it is very good and suitable for all ages. Passing through 3 caves under the mountain, it is impressive. The slide is a shortcut from the mountain to the mountain, which saves the time of walking on the mountain road (about 20 minutes), and it is a good experience for children. Gulong Mountain also has a hiking tour, and the ticket is not cheap. It is probably a mountain road. Fortunately, I didn’t buy that ticket because I didn’t have enough time and physical strength. At the end of the rafting, the boatman will ask for a tip. It’s up to you whether to give it or not (what about the simplicity I just mentioned?) I saw that the boatman was working hard, and he had to carry the rafting boat on the mountain road in the middle section, so I gave a tip. At 4:30, we arrived at the roadside outside the Gulongshan scenic spot to wait for a bus. An embarrassing thing happened: we wanted to take a bus back to Jingxi County, but we were waiting for a minibus from Hurun Town to Jingxi. As a result, there was a bus but it could not be overloaded. The family of three waited for 1 and a half hours but still couldn't get a bus (3 buses had passed), so we had to call a tricycle driver to find a private car and return to Jingxi at a high price. The next day, we arranged two scenic spots, Jiuzhou and Equan. In my opinion, these two scenic spots are quite pitfalls. They are just ordinary small villages with false reputations, and then the result of artificial publicity. It may be that they are close to Jingxi County and suitable for self-driving tours, so they are more popular, but the scenery is really average. The legendary ancient town - are you asking me to appreciate the cement houses and rolling gates of the ancient town? ? The photography works on Baidu are beautiful. But no matter how beautiful it is, it is just that bridge and that tower, 555. Jiuzhou is a hydrangea village. It is necessary to buy a hydrangea to take back as a souvenir. After comparing prices on Taobao, it is still cheaper to buy it locally. This is the only consolation. Finally, I added that I booked the tickets for Tongling and Gulong Mountain Rafting on Qunar.com. Everything went smoothly. I saw that the ticket booking service for Meituan was stuck at the ticket office. I didn't book tickets for Jiuzhou and Equan online. I thought Jiuzhou was average, so I didn't go to Equan and just left. (I'm not good at Chinese and can't describe the scenery. I can only tell you my travel experience truthfully for your reference)
You need a pair of non-slip shoes because the ground of the cave is slippery due to dripping water. You need an umbrella because you will get wet when you pass under the big waterfall. If you don’t mind, you don’t need to bring it, you can still see it.
Tongling Grand Canyon is not too far from Detian Cross-border Waterfall, about 30 kilometers away, and can be visited together. The most worth seeing is Tongling Grand Canyon, which is said to be the waterfall with the highest single-stage drop in Asia, with a drop of 170 meters. Because the humidity in the canyon is very high, it is like being in a small subtropical rainforest, and the concentration of negative ions in the air is very high. Deep canyons, clear streams, and green everywhere. There are many primitive plants in the Grand Canyon, many precious paleophytes, and rare and precious trees are marked with signs.
Tongling Waterfall is bigger than I thought~!! It is also very beautiful during the non-flooding season, but I don’t know what the waterfall is like during the flooding season.
It's more than 40 miles from Jingxi to Tongling, and the road is not very good. But the scenery of the Grand Canyon changes. At first, it is lush and green, then the caves are deep, and then the streams are shallow. Finally, the peaks are winding and the 200-meter-long waterfall falls directly in front of you. In addition, the water curtain cave with lanterns hanging on the two walls on the way back forms a long scroll with many changes. I feel constant surprises and amazement.
The flavor and artistic conception of the canyon is an encyclopedia of the biological world.
I went there by car during the Spring Festival of 2016. The ticket was 115 yuan. The local villagers had a villager reception ticket in their hands, and they could bargain for 80 to 100 yuan! Enter through the main gate and exit through the back gate. You can buy a 5-yuan scenic minibus to the parking lot when you come out. It's not far to walk out! The scenery of the scenic area is good. It depends on walking. There are many steps up and down, more than 800 steps. After seeing the Tongling Waterfall, you must go in again. You can go all the way to the cave under the waterfall. There is water seepage in the cave. In the rainy season, you may need to use a raincoat. The cave is too narrow and not suitable for umbrellas! It is recommended to go to Mingshi Tianyuan for dinner!
The adult ticket price for Tongling Grand Canyon is 115 yuan. It is recommended to buy tickets online first so that it is cheaper. It takes more than 70 kilometers to drive to the Grand Canyon during the Spring Festival self-driving tour. The winding mountain road along the way is also a beautiful scenery. It takes at least two hours to complete the entire Grand Canyon. There are caves in the waterfalls in the Grand Canyon, and you can see the magical scenery inside and outside the entire water flow.
Maybe because it is not well-known, it is relatively natural and has not been overdeveloped. However, all canyons look the same.
Tongling Grand Canyon is located in Jingxi County, Baise City, Guangxi, 230 kilometers away from Nanning City and 29 kilometers away from Detian Cross-border Waterfall. The canyon is about 3,800 meters long, 200 meters wide and 300 meters deep. It is connected by Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge, underground rivers and tunnels. It is connected to the sky and the earth, and is agile and elegant, like a beautiful scar on the earth. The canyon was originally a blind valley. Due to the influence of geological movement, the top of the blind valley collapsed, forming a large skylight, surrounded by steep cliffs and magnificent momentum. The canyon presents a scene full of vitality, with many precious ancient plants thriving, deep canyons, clear streams, green vegetation... and the Tongling Grand Waterfall, the waterfall with a drop of 188 meters and the highest single-stage drop in Asia, complement each other, making the whole canyon full of vitality and spirituality. In addition, "Shijing Dongtian" is a major feature of the canyon. The canyon is home to rare ancient cliff burials, ancient stone fortifications, waterfalls in caves, underground rivers, canyon streams, as well as stalactites and underground springs of wonderful shapes. In particular, the rare primitive plants are lush and green, rendering the entire canyon green and emerald green. It is known as the greenest canyon in China. We arrived at Tongling Grand Canyon around noon, parked the car in the parking lot, and bought tickets for 115 yuan per person. After entering the gate, from the gate to the bottom of the canyon, the trail passes through and falls under the old trees with withered vines that cover the sky, like a green tunnel leading to the center of the earth, and the mountain trails are winding and tortuous. Step by step, the dense forests on both sides of the way are lush and precious, with mother and child banyans like a loving mother raising children, strings of sago palm fruits, Chinese flame trees that mean "worry-free", and slender and upright wild bananas. There are also cultural attractions such as the ancient stone fortifications of the Ninghan Zhuang righteous army site and the mountain god Tianyou Rock guarding the Tongling Canyon. Going down the steps, you will see a different scene with each step. The valley is deep and the forest is dense, which makes you curious to explore. "The road is long and arduous, I will search up and down", so the road got its name.
About 300 meters down is an ancient stone fortress. A cliff blocks the way in front of you, but when you look closer, you can see a cave entrance.
