Zuolong Gorge

Zuolong scenic spot is located in Guzhang County, Hexi Town. Zuolong scenic spot and Furong Town are separated by a river. Overall, the length of Zuolong Gorge is about 6,500 meters.

In 1993, Zuolong Gorge was found by an herb digger. According to textual research, its landform is shaped by crust changes and wind erosion in 3 million years.

As time goes by, Zuolong Gorge gained a good reputation - “the first peculiar gorge in south eastern China”. Because of its original ecological environment, fresh air and mysterious Tujia customs, Zuolong Gorge is also called “fairyland on earth”, “ideal world”. In addition, it has a special type of visiting line, that is, all the lines are built in the deep valley, taking full advantage of steep mountains, just like the sculpture carved by nature carefully looking from a distance. So, as you can imagine, walking along this kind of visiting line, you cannot go through all the cliffs solely relying on your hands and feet. Meanwhile, strong will and appreciation of the nature are also essential for climbing Zuolong Gorge. Only when you have an exploration by yourself someday, can you discover how it is like on earth.
