Wujiang River Painted Corridor of Youyang
Chongqing Region · China
The Wujiang River Scenic Deck is an excellent spot to enjoy the beauty of the Wujiang River. The river water here is as green as jade, and the mountains on both banks rise and fall continuously. The red cliffs and Danxia landforms are even more spectacular under the sunlight. Standing on the deck, the landscape unfolds before your eyes like a painting in ink, as if you have stepped into a breathtaking landscape painting. Spend some time here, take as many photos as you like, and capture this beautiful scenery with your camera.
