Travel the Silk Road - Jiayuguan 'Grand Canyon'





Another scenic attraction in Jiayuguan is China's northwest ‘Grand Canyon’. Deep and wide ravine carved by a river carrying fresh water from melted snow from a mountain nearby. Gentle sloping mountain slopes and deep vertical cliffs make impressive scenary. Kimberley was initially scared but quickly adjusted to walking on her own across a high suspension bridge over the canyon. Kristine was interested in the mocked villages recreated to reflect ancient army camp and peasant residences.
