The tourist area covers an area of 17.3 square kilometers and is composed of 24 canyons, of which 8 canyons are more than 1000 meters. It has five characteristics: narrow and long, steep, deep, red and cluster. It has formed a monopoly group of quartz sandstone canyons, which has become a wonder of 800 Li Taihang and is praised by experts as "the world's strange gorge". There are three wonders in the Grand Canyon: one. The gorge is deep, the gorge is long, the gorge bank is erect, and the gorge appears in groups, forming a monopoly gorge spectacle. Huangchao gorge, the main gorge, is a graben among the mountains, with a length of more than 4000 meters and a depth of more than 150 meters. The gorge is several meters wide and only tens of centimeters narrow. The dangerous peaks face each other, and the walls stand on a thousand feet. When you look up, the clouds and cliffs are plunging, and the blue sky is a line, so it is also called "a line of sky"; the two wonders are quiet. There are 17.3 square kilometers of red cliffs, overlapping peaks, thousands of mu of primary secondary forest, quiet and lush, and more than 10 miles of Qingtan waterfall. Thousands of years of flowing water in Liushui gorge has washed out countless Taihang growth rings, forming an unfathomable stone urn pool under Huangchao rock. The mountain spring water rushes here, whirling out from the stone urn, forming a waterfall with a height of ten feet. Thanks to its natural beauty, rich and precious geological resources, simple and heavy geological relics and scientific management, the developing Grand Canyon has become a provincial scenic spot, a provincial Geopark and a national AAAA tourist area in Hebei Province.
