Also called Wulongtan Grand Canyon, Jingdong Grand Canyon is where forest-covered mountains, caves, pools, waterfalls and streams gather. The landscapes are linked by a winding stream falling from the top of the canyon; thatched cottages, tents and hammocks are prepared in the pine forest in the canyon so that tourists can easily find a place to rest.
