Travel Tips of Yaluzhangbu Grand Canyon


  1. The best season is from May to October. Due to the poor road conditions, bad weather and possible natural disasters such as landslides, a local guide and horse are needed. There are no hotels and restaurant during the whole journey; therefore, tents, sufficient food and beverage are a must.

2. The Zhaqu camping ground is only 30 km from the Menba Village, Pailong Lingzhi County near the National Highway No.318. Still inaccessible by cars, it is obviously an ideal location for hiking and exploration. Especially after the landslide hardly seen elsewhere in 2000 in Yigong Village Bomi, the roads and brides in this place have been entirely removed and still not been restored yet. The best season to explore the canyon is from April to October when one runs fewer risks of encountering floods and landslides.

3. From Bayi to the great turning of the Yaluzhangbu River, Motuo is the first stop. One should note that Motuo is the only county without a highroad in China. In spite of a few alternative routes, bus or car can only reach Milin or Bomi.

4. This area abounds with such tropical and subtropical creatures as leeches, mosquitoes, snakes etc. The tourists are strongly advised to be prepared accordingly in advance.

5. Currently, in the deep canyon a section of about 100 km has not yet been touched by human being. All the routes to the great turning of the canyon remain untraversed and some of which are merely connected by vine or iron chain bridges. There are a few garrisons and temporary structures built by the local guides on the way that may offer accommodation for the explorers.

6. Only those physiologically and psychologically ready visitors are welcome.
