You step off the minivan and the air changes—cooler, fragrant with pine and river spray. Cliff walls rise within arm’s reach and a glass walkway threads across a yawning drop; below, water hurls itself through a narrow chute toward a braided river. That first view at Gulong Gorge makes it clear why this stretch of Qingyuan feels engineered for adrenaline.
