Ping Shan Lake Grand Canyon In-Depth Travel Guide

In-Depth Travel Route Reference:
1. Scenic Viewing Platforms
Take the scenic shuttle bus, which takes about half an hour to reach viewing platforms 1, 2, and 3. These platforms are connected, with platform 2 requiring a short walk, while platforms 1 and 3 only require a few steps up.
2. Canyon Bottom Adventure
- Take the Adventure Vehicle: Near viewing platform 3, take the adventure vehicle, which travels along the sandy terrain and passes by viewing platform 5.
- Ride a Camel: After getting off the vehicle, walk a short distance and then ride a camel through the canyon bottom desert for about 10 minutes.
- Take a Camel Cart: After the camel ride, continue walking forward to the camel cart boarding point for another 10-minute experience.
3. Return Hike
- Lingzhi Valley: We chose the Lingzhi Valley route, where you can admire the unique rock formations that resemble lingzhi mushrooms. This section is about 1.5 kilometers long with stunning scenery!
- Viewing Platform 4: After exiting Lingzhi Valley, climb up the spiral staircase, which has two sections (refer to P6-7). Once you reach the top, you will arrive at viewing platform 4, where you can overlook the entire canyon.
- Take the Shuttle Bus Back: From viewing platform 4, take the shuttle bus back to the scenic area entrance, which takes about half an hour. For those planning to visit soon, feel free to message me or click the link below to consult customer service!
