The Guangdong Grand Canyon, also known as Ruyuan Grand Canyon, is located in Dabu Town, 68 kilometers southwest of Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, Shaoguan City. The canyon is 15 kilometers long and more than 300 meters deep. If you like hiking or want to admire the huge crack in the earth, this will be your beloved place. Generally, the journey starts from the valley entrance square. The ticket office is located on the square.
There are also small shops selling drinks and food on the square.
