The Red Rock Cliff Grand Canyon is over 200 meters deep, 500 meters wide, and stretches for over 20 kilometers. Its cliffs, pierced by sharp cliffs and etched with a crimson red, give it the nickname "Red Rock Cliff Grand Canyon." To the north of the canyon lies Guoliang Cave, a cliff corridor. Looking south from the cave entrance, you can see the majestic cliffs, the smoke from the tile-tiled houses on the cliffs, and the sturdy yellow elm trees along the cliffside. From the south side of the canyon, you can see the 35 skylights of the cliff corridor and the majestic presence of Guoliang Cave, which stretches across the cliff.
The Red Rock Grand Canyon is where the Guoliang Village Cliff Road is located. This gorge is incredibly steep and breathtaking. The scenery is truly breathtaking, and makes one marvel at the wonders of nature.
