Malinghe River Canyon Scenic Area is a state-level scenic area located at the juncture of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou provinces in Xingyi City of Guizhou. It consists of the Malinghe River Canyon, Wanfenglin (Ten-Thousand-Peak Karst Forest) and Wanfeng Lake.

Known as the "Most Beautiful Scar of the Earth", the 75-kilometer-long canyon offers magnificent views of its narrow rift, deep caves, impressive waterfalls and shaped calcium sediments (calc-sinter tapestries or falls) on both faces of the steep cliffs. The ancient temples, bridges and postal roads further enhance the area's cultural charm. At its narrowest point, the canyon is only 50 meters wide, whereas its deepest point goes all the way down to 500 meters. The canyon features over 100 waterfalls, with the Tianxing Gallery, the core section, offering fabulous views of the more than 20 waterfalls stretching across 1.7 kilometers.[China.org.cn/Photo by Liu Chaofu]
