About Wensu Tomur Grand Canyon Visitor Center
The variety of shapes reflects several geological processes rather than a single narrow gorge. Its visitor centre is the gateway to a much larger scenic area. Choose the operating canyon route before entering, and allow time to compare the broad walls with smaller formations at the designated stops.
What to look for
- Red cliffs and eroded pillars create varied canyon panoramas.
- Salt-related formations add geological variety to the branching valleys.
