Travelers will be picked up from their hotel in Xi’an and travel by private vehicle to Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon. As the canyon is located some distance from Xi’an, the journey involves an extended drive. Travelers can relax along the way and enjoy views of the changing landscapes between Xi’an and northern Shaanxi before arriving at the canyon.

Upon arrival, travelers will explore Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon, walking through its narrow and winding passages while enjoying the changing light, shadows and colors along the rock walls. Located on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, the canyon is known for its naturally formed sandstone fissures, smooth wave-like surfaces and layered textures shaped by long-term erosion. Sunlight entering from above creates dramatic visual effects inside the canyon, making it a distinctive destination for sightseeing and photography. Often compared with Antelope Canyon in the United States, it is one of the region’s most unusual geological landscapes. The exact section visited may vary depending on weather, opening conditions and scenic-area arrangements. Admission to the Canyon is included.

After exploring the Grand Canyon, travelers will continue by private vehicle to Mount Yun Scenic Area (Yunqiu Mountain). Known for its mountain scenery, distinctive geological landscapes and traditional cultural atmosphere, Mount Yun offers a peaceful setting for the overnight stay. Upon arrival, travelers will check in at Novotel Linfen Mount Yun, an upscale hotel located within the scenic area and surrounded by mountain views. The hotel features modern guest rooms and suites with comprehensive facilities, providing a comfortable place to settle in and rest before the following day’s visit to the Mount Yun Ice Cave Group.
