National Geographic does not deceive me; China's "Semporna" is truly not an exaggeration

“China's Semporna” — Pingshan Canyon, with crystal-clear streams and steep canyon rock walls, creates an illusion of boats floating in the air when you travel through it by boat.

✨ Trip Highlights

· Floating Boat Experience: On the mirror-like clear water surface, riding a small boat feels like floating in the air, and every shot looks like a masterpiece of the "Sky Mirror."
· Canyon Sightseeing Boat Tour: Take a sightseeing boat through the canyon to enjoy attractions like One Line Sky and Moon Viewing Bridge, experiencing the feeling of "boating on water, people traveling in a painting."
· Popular Photo Spot: Take a photo with the "Canyon Heart Gesture" inside Nuoyuan Cave to capture romantic moments of your journey.
