Dehang Grand Canyon, ,also known as Aizhai Grand Canyon, located in Aizhai Town, 24 kilometers southeast of Jishou City, belongs to the limestone karst canyon landform with a graceful and beautiful appearance.
Along the long and secluded canyon, visitors can climb to the highest point in the canyon. Standing at Tianwentai, you can see the stalagmite like peaks surrounding it, and recall the scene of Qu Yuan's sorrowful inquiry into the sky back then. Climbing the Pangu Peak at an altitude of over 700 meters, you can overlook the Detang Miao Villag, and the quicksand waterfall with a drop of 216 meters.
Aizhai Bridge and Aizhai Highway are two wonders of the senic area. The Aizhai Bridge, with a main span of 1176m, is suspended on the top of the mountain. The Suspension bridge, which seems to be swinging, is connected to cars. Under the bridge, there are clouds and mist. Below is the Aizhai Road, which rises hundreds of meters between 13 180 degree hairpins. People feel frightened at the sight of the Suspension bridge and the road below, not to mention those who sit on the car and walk on the Suspension bridge and road.
Located in the middle of the Grand Canyon, Dehang Miao Village has a Miao wedding performance from 10:00 am to 10:40 am, and a Chinese Miao clothing exhibition from 15:00 to 15:40 pm. The start time of the performance may vary by 30 minutes, depending on the actual time in the scenic area. These two daytime performances are free of charge.
Every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in the evening, there is a Miao family dance party. It starts at 19:30 in summer and 18:30 in winter, and the evening performance is charged. Miao Village itself is relatively average, but due to its picturesque surroundings, quiet surroundings, and limited time, here you can also stay here for one night. However, the accommodation conditions here are limited, and many inns do not have disposable toiletries and need to bring them themselves. Eating in the scenic area is also more expensive, remember to bargain.
