You step out of the private vehicle onto a narrow ridge and the canyon answers—rock faces funnel wind, small waterfalls call, and a natural pool mirrors the sky. The path drops into shade; river stones glint like coins as you descend into the valley air, a cooler, greener world pushed into the folds of northern Guangdong.
