Must-Visit Attractions
The highlights of Yuntaishan — each one is worth stopping to savor
Red Stone Gorge
Red Stone Gorge is the most quintessential attraction of Yuntaishan, known as the "No.1 wonder gorge of China." Within the 1500-meter-long canyon, red cliffs and azure pools and waterfalls set off each other, forming a unique landscape of crimson cliffs and emerald waters. The stream murmurs along the canyon floor and the pools are as green as jade, as if you were in a fairyland on earth.
Zhuyu Peak
Zhuyu Peak stands at 1308 meters above sea level and is the highest peak of Yuntaishan. It became famous because the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei wrote here the lines: "Alone in a strange land as a stranger, I miss my kin all the more on festive days. Far off, I know my brothers climb high, each with a sprig of dogwood — save one." From the summit you can look down upon endless rolling mountains veiled in mist and clouds — a view of breathtaking beauty.
Tanpu Gorge
Known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou," Tanpu Gorge stretches 2000 meters, with a spring every three steps, a waterfall every five steps, and a pool every ten steps. Springs, waterfalls, streams and pools echo one another, like a natural landscape painting. The sound of flowing water fills the gorge, cool and pleasant — an ideal retreat from the summer heat.
Glass Walkway
Yuntaishan Glass Walkway is located on Phoenix Ridge at an altitude of 1080 meters, with a total length of over 400 meters. Standing on the transparent glass walkway, with an abyss beneath your feet, you can experience the thrill of "floating" above the clouds. It is the perfect place to test your courage and a popular spot for photo ops.
