Top 9: Zhexi Grand Canyon（浙西大峡谷）

Located in Lin'an City, a city administered by Hangzhou, the Zhexi Grand Canyon sits at the border of Zhejiang Province and Anhui Province. It has a grand waterway with a total length of more than 80 kilometers (49.71 miles).

The canyon has three main scenic sections. The first section, called "Longjing Canyon," features an exotic peak, a graceful waterfall and steep rocks, stretching across some 18 kilometers. The second section, called "Shangxi Canyon" which extends over a length of 26 kilometers (16.16 miles), features a very steep topography but is most reputed for its exotic collection of mountain stones. The third section, called "Zhemen Canyon" which runs for 30 kilometers (18.64 miles), is famous for its layers of mountain waterfalls and flowing mists. The canyon is an ideal place to enjoy the natural beauty on your summer holidays.
