Beauty Valley

Introducing Beauty Valley

Liren Valley is located upstream of Lizhaigang in Tianshi Town, Xianju County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. Surrounded by mountains at the junction of Xianju and Yongjia, it is the river tracing route with the best water quality in China.

A trip through Beauty Valley will give you a true understanding of Jiangnan. The canyon is short, only about six kilometers long, and the riverbed is narrow, mostly within ten meters. Yet, the water is so pure that when thirsty, you can scoop it up and drink it all, the sweet, refreshing taste emanating from your mouth to your heart. The stream flows along, sometimes soothing, sometimes turbulent, cascading down the cliffs in a thousand waves, surging and swirling, like a dancing silver dragon.
