LINYI, China Oct 17, 2025 /AsiaNet=YONHAP/-- As autumn's cool breeze sweeps beneath clear skies, nature invites wanderers to explore its poetic wonders. Nestled in Yishui County, Shandong Province, the National 5A-Class Scenic Area of Yishui Underground Grand Canyon awaits your arrival. This karst cave kingdom, sculpted over 100 million years, stretches 6,100 meters, with 3,100 meters currently accessible to visitors. Renowned for its "grandeur, wonder, elegance, serenity, and thrill," it has become a globally celebrated "geological edutainment paradise."
Step into the canyon, and it's as if you enter a timeless realm. The cave maintains a constant 18°C, offering spring-like comfort even in midsummer. Overhead, a gallery of surreal stalactites, stalagmites, and stone draperies unfolds before your eyes: the "10,000-Year Lingzhi Mushroom" stands poised, its milky-white surface glowing faintly; the "Undersea Dragon Palace" immerses visitors in azure-lit coral-like formations; most breathtaking is the "Snowy Pine Mountain," where layered snow-white stalactites evoke an eternal alpine landscape, showcasing nature's peerless artistry.
The canyon's signature experience, the "Underground River Drift," promises an unforgettable escapade. The 1,000-meter-long meandering waterway alternates between tranquil stretches -- where "stone blossoms" adorn the banks -- and thrilling rapids through shadowy vaults, creating a gentle yet exhilarating underground odyssey.
Beyond recreation, the canyon provides a contemplative retreat from urban noise and activity. As water droplets echo through the caverns, time itself seems to slow. Surrounded by monumental stone formations -- like frozen waterfalls, blades, and lotus blooms -- you'll feel the quiet, timeless power of nature smoothing the edges of the soul.
