Ribbon waterfall piercing through the clouds! Dehang Grand Canyon 2-hour brisk walk guide💨
The most fairy-tale canyon in Xiangxi! Dehang's flowing silk waterfall looks like a Milky Way hanging from the sky🌌
📍Location: 4 km northwest of Dehang Scenic Area, Jishou City, Xiangxi, Hunan
🕒 Hours: 09:00-17:30 (Even more atmospheric on rainy days!)
💥Must-try route:
1️⃣ Canyon Entrance → Wentian Terrace
Walk on bluestone slabs through the Miao village wind and rain bridge, 20 minutes to reach the 270° viewing platform
📸 Photo spot: Shoot the full canyon view from the railing, looks like an ink painting on foggy days
2️⃣ Flowing Silk Waterfall Trail
1.6 km wooden plank trail, waterfall drop of 216 meters!
🔥 Hidden tip: Walk behind the waterfall (bring a waterproof case because of heavy mist)
3️⃣ Yuquan Stream Waterside Path
Pick up colorful pebbles + splash in the water, lots of butterflies flying around🦋
⚠️ Tip: Water volume is highest in July, sandals are a must!
🍜 Miao Cuisine Delights:
- Sour Soup Fish: Most authentic at "Apo's Home" by the village gate
- Bamboo Tube Rice: Grilled with fresh mountain bamboo shoots, 15 yuan fills you up
💦 Pitfall Prevention Guide:
① No need to take the sightseeing bus, hiking offers better views
② Fewer visitors after 3 PM, waterfall lighting is softest
③ Bring a lightweight raincoat in the rainy season, mountain bluestone slabs are very slippery!
(The last live photo shows a rainbow🌈 in the waterfall mist, screenshot it quickly!)
