Introduction to the Scenic Area


The Gulongxia Scenic Area in Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, is located in the mysterious Tropic of Cancer and the vast mountains of northern Guangdong, at the junction of Guangdong, Hunan, and Guangxi provinces (regions). The scenic area is 68 kilometers away from Guangzhou city center, 73 kilometers away from Baiyun Airport, and over 200 kilometers away from Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions. Its location and transportation are convenient, especially with the opening of the first Qingyuan Maglev Tourism Line, which has better integrated the scenic area into the integrated rail "1-hour transportation circle" network system of the Greater Bay Area. The South Asian tropical monsoon has created scenic spots with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer, with an average annual temperature of 20 ℃ -22 ℃ and a forest coverage rate of 95%. The complex and diverse landforms, climates, and soils have formed an ecosystem dominated by forests where animals and plants coexist and compete for growth, forming the species gene pool of rare animals and plants in southern China. The poem and painting scene of the Hunan Guangdong Fold Belt, which revitalizes the land of China, is well explained by the phrase 'Ten thousand mountains surge like waves, springs chirp and streams flow. Floating clouds step on the ground, and pine waves create a unique scenery'. The scenic area combines its unique natural canyons, rivers, forests, Lingnan culture, Yao Zhuang and other ethnic cultures, intangible cultural heritage, drifting culture, dragon culture, etc., and cleverly designs tourism projects such as canyon drifting, mountain sports, ecological science popularization, forest health preservation, and educational research. The scenic area was officially put into operation in May 2007 and was awarded the national AAAA level tourist attraction in 2015. At present, it is a national sports tourism demonstration base, a designated drifting track by the General Administration of Sport of China, and the only tourist attraction in Guangdong Province for the Beijing Olympic torch relay. The Gulongxia Scenic Area is committed to cultivating new quality productivity in cultural tourism, health and wellness, and creating characteristic tourism projects with high technological content, low resource consumption, and zero environmental pollution. In 2023, a total of 1.6167 million tourists were received, including approximately 88300 foreign tourists. The scenic area has become a popular destination for people in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area for health, tourism, and leisure.


Youran River Valley
The verdant river water, unique red bridges, and drifting fishing boats in Gulong Gorge, combined with the diffuse mist, create a colorful watercolor painting step by step. Walking along the long corridor by the river, you can hear the babbling water, the rippling blue waves beneath the river surface are fish and fine stones, and the green banks under the trees on the riverbank are facing each other. A gentle breeze blew by, and the river rippled layer by layer. A small boat filled with flowers ran with the waves. Check in Gulong is a popular internet celebrity, and in 2020, the Gulongxia River Valley has become a popular destination for tourists with over 1 billion internet traffic.
Gulong Grand Canyon
The Gulong Grand Canyon has formed a canyon due to geological changes, and it has been continuously eroded along the fault surface by flowing water, forming numerous unique stone landscapes such as Gulong Cave, Damo Face Wall Stones, and Fairy Dressing Table within the canyon. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are facing each other, with many rapids and rapids, a forest of strange rocks, a deep valley, springs and waterfalls cascading, cliff trees slanting, and strange grass everywhere. The characteristics of the canyon scenery can be summarized in ten words: peculiar, hidden, beautiful, clever, secluded, vast, shocking, dangerous, comprehensive, and ancient. The deepest part of the canyon has a height difference of 378 meters, and the narrowest part only allows two people to run side by side. Due to the deep and steep walls of the gorge, the trees block the sun, and many parts of the valley are not exposed to direct sunlight all year round. At this peak of summer, I feel refreshing and refreshing.
Intangible Cultural Heritage Market
We have established an Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance Center, an Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Market, a Intangible Cultural Heritage Creative Workshop, and a Qingyuan Intangible Cultural Heritage Cultural Corridor as exhibition platforms. We have organized special training on "Intangible Cultural Heritage+Tourism", held a summit forum on the integration of intangible cultural heritage and tourism development, and held a series of activities such as the Qingyuan Intangible Cultural Exhibition. We are currently creating a "National Intangible Cultural Heritage Tourism Scenic Area".

The Gu Long Gorge Scenic Area is a National AAAA-level tourist attraction, a national sports tourism demonstration base, an international rafting competition venue, and a designated track by the General Administration of Sport of China. It serves as a new landmark for tourism in northern Guangdong. The Gu Long Gorge Scenic Area is actively striving to become a National AAAAA-level tourist attraction. Located in Binjiang Canyon, Qingxin District, Qingyuan City, it is 68 kilometers away from downtown Guangzhou, at the intersection of the Guangqing Expressway, Qinglian Expressway (Xuguan Expressway), and Shan-Zhan Expressway.

Beneath the towering peaks with a kilometer of height difference, the Gu Long Grand Canyon integrates waterfalls, deep pools, peculiar rocks, and jungles. Cliffs confront each other, strange peaks soar, silver waterfalls splash, the beaches are abundant, and the water is swift. The primitive rainforest covers the sky year-round, offering pleasant weather. The characteristics of the scenery can be summarized by ten words: "peculiar, hidden, charming, ingenious, secluded, vast, astonishing, perilous, comprehensive, ancient." The scenic area and its surroundings preserve 3,000 hectares of subtropical primeval forest, with a forest coverage rate of 95%. The concentration of negative oxygen ions reaches up to 10,000/cm³, making it a great place for refreshing lungs and clearing the mind.

The Qing Dynasty poet Yuan Mei once described the magnificent and profound scenery of the Gu Long Gorge Scenic Area as "thousands of mountains resembling surging waves, springs murmuring and streams flowing. Stepping on floating clouds, the scenery of pine waves is extraordinary."
