Butterfly Cliff of The Qingjiang Grand Canyon


Annie took a 40-minute boat ride along the Qingjiang River, enjoying the canyon scenery of clear waters, steep canyon walls, and lush subtropical vegetation. She arrives at this particular rock formation that was shaped by long-term water erosion and weathering, which carved the limestone cliffs into a form resembling a butterfly with its wings spread. During the rainy season, a waterfall often flows through the middle of the rock, creating a natural spectacle, but Annie was not fortunate enough to see it.
