## About West Zhejiang Grand Canyon

The canyon's mountains are high and its streams swift, with ring-shaped valleys covered in lush vegetation and unusual landforms, earning it the reputation of "white horses emerging from the rock, yellow oxen ploughing the cliffs." Compared with the Three Gorges of the Yangtze, it offers a different kind of poetic and picturesque charm.
