Maling River Canyon

Here's a travel guide to Maling River Canyon: Attraction Introduction - Sky Gallery: The most scenic section of the canyon. Within 1.7 km, there are over 20 waterfalls.

The water rushes from the cliff top with immense momentum. - Sea Lion Hall: Inside are three stalagmites formed by perennial dripping water from the rocks above, resembling a family of three sea lions. The surrounding scenery is beautiful. - Yellow Dragon Waterfall: At 76m high and up to 23m wide during the rainy season, it is the single waterfall with the largest water flow in the canyon scenic area.
