Maoxiang Canyon Attraction is located in the southeast of Zhidan County, Yan’an City, Shaanxi Province, about 2 kilometers away from Zhidan County. It is located on the edge of the development of Zhidan County and is a supporting scenic spot under the guidance of Zhidan County’s overall tourism planning.

Jingzhi Road passes through the entrance of the Attraction and is interconnected with the S303 Provincial Road, which can quickly reach the destination. The total area of the Attraction is 13.18 square kilometers. The canyon consists of six scenic spots: Qiankun Valley, Lover Canyon (Jueqing Valley), Palace Corridor, Like Water Flowing Years Wall, Body Shaping Lane, and Unique Cave. The Attraction is picturesque and the scenery is pleasant. Danxia Line Valley (Diaoyan Valley) is a narrow canyon with steep curved walls. The canyon and the curved wall are its two important features. The long-term turbulent water carrying gravel and other sediments scours, carves and abrades the original structural weak parts of the rock, forming countless potholes in three-dimensional space. Maoxiang Canyon is 9 kilometers long, with varying depths. The narrow part can only accommodate one person, forming a number of narrow-sky landscapes surrounded by giant dragons. The curve of the valley wall is as smooth and smooth as brown-red chocolate, and it is gentle and varied. “Maoxiang Canyon” has a long history and is quite legendary and mysterious. According to legend, Liu Chenxiang went to Huashan to split the mountain to save his mother and came to Baoan County to practice hard. He split the mountain into a series of narrow-sky canyons that cat ghosts and gods can drill through and Xiaotian Dog can fly over, so it was named “Maoxiang” from the meaning. From its discovery to its stunning appearance, the canyon has formed a certain degree of popularity and influence in the photography and art circles. The Attraction is committed to creating the “Maoxiang Canyon Attraction” and making it a core node on the northern Shaanxi Loess and Red Sandstone Ecological Characteristic Tourism Corridor, and an important national canyon leisure tourism destination.

Winding its way across the eastern mountainside of the south peak of Mount Huashan, Changkong Plank Trail was built using wooden planks supported by stone piles driven into the side of a perilous cliff. Walking along the Trail, you will get to experience the thrill and excitement of ascending mid-air across a precipice. The Trail is divided into three parts. While there are railings along the upper trail, in the middle part iron bars protruding from amidst the side of cliff rocks form something akin to a ladder hanging in the air; and when groping one’s way through the lower trail, you will need to move sideways and edge forward on the wooden plank while clinging closely to the cliff wall and clasping the iron chain.
