Lingbao Gorge is a beautiful and unique canyon in the upper reaches of Xiaoshui River, about 1 km long. The formation of the canyon is due to the long-term erosion and cutting of the conglomerate layer by the river, forming steep peak walls. The cliff walls on both sides of the canyon are covered with honeycomb-shaped holes of large and small wind and rain erosion, which have extremely high ornamental value. The Danxia landform has obvious features, the rock walls of the mountains are superbly crafted, the rivers are twists and turns, and the canyons rise upright from the riverbed, which is majestic and magnificent.
