Xingyi Maling River Canyon in Guizhou Shines on Two Lists

In the "20th Anniversary Edition of Beauty Contest China" by China National Geography, the Maling River Canyon waterfall group was simultaneously selected for the "China's Most Beautiful Waterfall Challenger List" and the "China's Most Beautiful Canyon Challenger List," becoming a rare dual-attraction scenic spot nationwide.
Located in Xingyi City at the junction of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou provinces, it originates from Baiguoling in the Wumeng Mountain range. Stretching over 70 kilometers, it carves a narrow and deep fissure canyon through the plains, known as the "World's Number One Fissure" and "Earth's Beautiful Scar." It is also praised as the "River of a Thousand Waterfalls" and "Heavenly Ditch and Earth Fissure," a structure extremely rare worldwide.
The waterfall group here is magnificent, with majestic and picturesque scenery that leaves visitors in awe. Established in 1993, the Maling River "Five Rings Rafting Company" pioneered rafting in Southwest China; in April 1998, it successfully hosted an international kayaking rafting competition, becoming Guizhou Province's kayaking training base and the national Olympic whitewater sports base.
Visiting Maling River Canyon, tourists can marvel at nature's craftsmanship while experiencing the thrill and fun of rafting, gaining surprises and relaxation. Come check in and appreciate the unique charm of this natural wonder!
