Most of my friends are familiar with the Gulong Canyon in Qingyuan. It is an original ecological comprehensive scenic spot built by natural valleys, which integrates river rafting, glass bridges, glass platforms, cliff waterfalls and various extreme challenges. Over the years, Gulong Canyon has become one of the most popular punch-in places in Guangdong.
Many foreign friends often ask me: Is Qingyuan Gulong Gorge fun? I said, this scenic spot is really interesting and definitely worth recommending, but I seldom go there.
Because this scenic spot is too hot every weekend or long holiday, it often leads to serious traffic jams. I'm afraid I can't get in and out of the traffic jam.
Of course, as a local tourist in Qingyuan, I want to share some practical strategies to prevent traffic jams in Gulong Canyon. The first trick is to try to avoid weekends or long holidays and choose the wrong peak travel. Of course, this is the most practical nonsense.
The second trick is to stay in the comfortable Gulong Hotel one day in advance. In this way, you can easily visit the scenic spot the next morning, and there will be absolutely no traffic jam.
When staying at Gulong Hotel, you can not only enjoy the authentic slimming fish dinner in Gulong Fishing Village next to the hotel, but also have a leisure time when the tourists disperse. Punch cologne, which belongs to the valley of network celebrities, is very popular all summer and is an online celebrity.
(The following two pictures are online celebrity valley, Gulong Gorge, which is a free scenic spot. )
Of course, the price of Gulong Hotel in Gulong Gorge Scenic Area will definitely be more expensive, which is unacceptable to many people. Then, as a third measure, self-driving tourists should try not to go to Gulong Gorge Scenic Area from Qingxin District along provincial road S 1 14. They should choose Guangxu Expressway, get off at the Longjing exit, and then walk back along the provincial road S 1 14 to enter the Gulong Canyon Scenic Area. Although it's a long way, the traffic jam can be reduced by at least one hour during the weekend rush hour.
The fourth measure is to stay in Qingyuan City or Qingxin District the night before and drive to Gulong Gorge Scenic Area before 7:30 the next morning. Gulong Gorge Scenic Area opens at 8: 00 every morning. You should strive to be the first tourist in the scenic spot, so that there will be no traffic jams and no need to queue up to enter the scenic spot. I usually take this method when I go to Gulong Canyon. I arrive at the scenic spot at 7: 30 in the morning, and then wait for the scenic spot to open.
This time it started from Qingyuan city at 6: 30 in the morning. After breakfast, I arrived at the scenic spot easily at seven o'clock. Unexpectedly, at this time, many tourists have arrived at the scenic spot waiting for the opening of the park, but they are far from reaching the peak of tourists.
When the garden opened at 8: 1, we became the first tourists in the scenic spot, enjoying the Gulongjiu Waterfall at the bottom of the canyon very comfortably.
In China's Chinese vocabulary, "nine" does not necessarily mean nine, but refers to many meanings. In fact, there are many waterfalls in the gulong canyon scenic area, and there are far more than nine waterfalls, large and small. Fresh air and high waterfalls make people feel relaxed and happy.
The sunshine in the morning is warm and soft, which is particularly comfortable for us. Warm yellow sunlight passes through the dense trees on both sides of the valley and is projected into the stream, showing a fantastic light and shadow effect.
Walking on the wet plank road, I heard the roar of waterfalls in the distance. Turning a corner, I saw a white waterfall hanging on a 100-meter-high cliff and rippling in a green pool. Water vapor is everywhere, sweet. This is the famous Zhang Wan Cliff Waterfall!
Wanzhangya Waterfall flows down in multiple stages, which has the charm of China landscape painting. This waterfall is a famous punching point in the Gulong Canyon of Internet celebrity. If you match it with a beautiful model wearing Chinese style, there will be a big rush in an instant.
Of course, as an ordinary tourist, we can't travel with such a beautiful model. However, even ordinary tourists who shoot videos at the foot of Wanzhangya Waterfall and upload them to Tik Tok may soon become online celebrities.
If you only want to enjoy the nine waterfalls of Gulong instead of the glass bridge, you only need to buy tickets around 40 yuan. But when you come to Gulong Canyon, why not experience Tian Yunboba, who has created many world records? Next, we took the Dengfeng elevator with a drop of about 100 meters and went straight to Boba, Tian Yun, above the cliff. Dengfeng elevator is the outdoor escalator with the largest height difference in the world, and it only takes 3 minutes to reach the glass bridge.
Easily reach the glass bridge and use drones to overlook the glass grand canyon in Gulong Canyon. I saw the glass suspension bridge and the glass platform located in a tree-lined canyon, organically combined with the original ecological environment, without any abrupt feeling.
At the bridge head of the glass bridge, there are ladders and bergamot descending from the sky. These two projects were officially opened to tourists only this year, and soon became the punching places for network celebrities, especially the short videos taken by bergamot in Tiantong, which became popular in Tik Tok.
For tourists who are afraid of heights, climbing bergamot or ladder is still very challenging. In fact, there is no need to worry about safety, because safety nets are installed under these two projects, and nothing will happen.
Stop-and-go all the way to the glass suspension bridge, many tourists have been waiting on the bridge. In order to ensure absolute safety, Gulong Gorge Glass Bridge only allows 300 people to get on the bridge at the same time, so when there are many tourists, you need to wait at the bridge head for a while.
Over the past few years, there have been too many glass bridges, and I am no longer afraid. But for many beautiful women who walk on the glass bridge for the first time, even those who are afraid of heights, the glass bridge in Gulong Canyon is still very challenging.
Gulong Canyon Glass Suspension Bridge is the widest waterfall-watching glass bridge in the world, with a total length of 329 meters and an average width of 3.8 meters. In order to enhance the sense of experience, the bridge has also set up a "5D" blasting effect, which is quite exciting.
Walking through the glass suspension bridge, it is another cliff glass plank road. It didn't take long to reach the suspended glass studio with the biggest vertical height difference in the world. The glass studio is semi-lotus-shaped with three petals. It is also called "waterfall lotus sky" because it hangs over the waterfall of Wanzhangya.
One interesting project after another. Next to the waterfall lotus sky, it is an extreme challenge project with a total length of about 300 meters, "walking on thin ice". Two side-by-side suspension bridges are fixed on both sides of the cliff, striding forward, and the abyss is at the foot. Every step is on thin ice, exciting and fun.
We just walked on thin ice, and we were greeted by a cliff swing. The cliff swings in Gulong Gorge are divided into single swing and double swing, both of which are on the precipice. When the tourists were thrown out by great power, everyone couldn't help screaming.
Next to the swing is the famous glass gallery in Gulong Valley. This glass gallery is the largest in the world. At the end of the glass gallery is the mirror of the sky, which is the latest online celebrity product made in Gulong Canyon. When we arrived here, many tourists were already waiting in line.
The sky mirror in Gulong Canyon is the best place to watch Zhang Wan Cliff Waterfall. Walking in the mirror of the sky gives people a feeling of being in an abyss, which is thrilling but narrowly missed.
I have to say that there are many reasons why so many tourists choose to punch in at Gulong Canyon. Because Gulong Gorge is a scenic spot that can be seen and played, it is only about 8 kilometers away from Qingyuan City, and the traffic is very convenient.
Only in the past two years, with the increasing fame of Gulong Gorge Glass Grand Canyon, even many tourists almost forgot that rafting is the most interesting traditional project in Gulong Gorge.
As one of the most famous drifting tracks in Guangdong, drifting has always been the first event in Gulong Canyon. How can you miss the exciting rafting project when you come to Gulong Canyon this time? Now that you have bought a VIP ticket, you can board the ship directly through the VIP channel without queuing, which is very fast.
Gulong Gorge Drifting River is the longest and largest natural water race river in the world, and is known as the "roller coaster on the summit". Besides exploring, what I like best is that this drifting river is almost completely covered by dense virgin forest, and there is almost no sunshine during drifting.
I entered Gulong Gorge Scenic Area at 7: 30 in the morning and didn't want to leave until noon 12.
There was no traffic jam on the way back, but there was a long queue in the driveway opposite the Gulong Canyon Scenic Area, which was almost 5 kilometers long. Although they knew that there would be a traffic jam tomorrow, the tourists came to Gulong Canyon to punch in. This scene is really touching.
I think, how can a scenic spot win the long-term pursuit of tourists? At first, of course, it depends on the attractiveness and promotion of products; But for a long time, it still relies on perfect supporting facilities and thoughtful service level, such as Gulong Canyon.
