Main attractions

With the unique geographical conditions and climatic factors, the plateau animal and plant resources in Heihe Grand Canyon are extremely rich, which is an ideal place for tourism and exploration.

The gorge is towering and full of strange rocks. The scenery is unique but different. Sometimes the river is narrow and steep, and the cliffs are bare, like a desperate situation; sometimes it suddenly becomes bright, with gentle slopes and wide beaches, and unique caves. The climate is changeable and rich in animal and plant resources. It's just like a fairyland. It's really a good place for tourism, exploration and scientific investigation.

Ma Xiuqin, deputy head of Qilian County in Qinghai Province, said that due to insufficient investment and other reasons, the characteristic tourism of Heihe Grand Canyon has not been well developed. In order to build this area into a key tourist attraction of Qilian Mountain, the local government plans to introduce investment to develop the characteristic tourism construction project of Heihe Grand Canyon, including water rafting. Domestic and foreign tourists will soon experience the mysterious and unique plateau natural scenery in the deep of the canyon and listen to the melodious Qilian pastoral songs.
