The Taihang Grand Canyon is located in Shibanyan Township, Linzhou, Anyang City, Henan Province, in northwestern Henan Province, at the eastern foot of the Southern Taihang Mountains. It stretches 50 kilometers from north to south and 1.5 kilometers from east to west, with an elevation range of 800-1,739 meters, a height difference of over 1,000 meters. The scenic area covers 89 square kilometers, with a vegetation coverage rate of 90%, earning it a reputation as a natural oxygen bar. The area boasts towering cliffs, majestic peaks, crisscrossing terraces, the turbulent Cangxi River, and cascading waterfalls, exemplifying the "northern majestic scenery."
Overall, it is still quite beautiful. The whole trip is not tiring and very relaxing. The canyon is cool, but it is still a little different from what is uploaded on the Internet. It is not as beautiful as it feels.

1. The cultural landscape is full of historical sense: The Red Flag Canal is an important project during the period of China's revolutionary struggle, and tourists highly praised its historical significance. They saw the dam field, canal and other relics of the Red Flag Canal, and learned about the arduous process of the Red Flag Canal's construction under the joint efforts of the peasant fighters at that time.
2. The natural landscape is breathtaking: The Red Flag Canal is located on the Loess Plateau, with magnificent mountains and rivers and beautiful natural scenery. Tourists praised the undulating mountains and lush water and grass of the Red Flag Canal, which left a deep impression on tourists.
It is not only a five-star scenic spot where you can gaze at the magnificence of the Taihang Mountains, but also a cultural landscape where humans conquer nature. It is worth a visit. The spirit of the Red Flag Canal is the spiritual wealth of the Chinese people!

The Youth Cave of Hongqi Canal is the core scenic spot of Hongqi Canal Scenic Spot. It is a must-visit place for tourists. It is a good place to take photos. It is 616 meters long. You can take a boat through the Youth Cave. The cave is beautified with various colors. It looks particularly prosperous and fascinating. It takes about ten minutes to go by boat.
The hotel has a beautiful environment, the rooms are very large, clean and tidy, and we chose the parent-child room, which was very comfortable to live in. The breakfast is rich in variety, and the waiters are enthusiastic. If there is no food, they will add it in time. This must be praised!
