Timeline

Walk the canyon trail from the Shuichun River Bridge. The trail winds down toward the water, letting you find a quiet spot among the viewpoints to wait for the sun.
07:35
Watch the sunrise. The sun sets toward the WSW in winter, but the early light illuminates the cliffs and the clear water of the river as you stand on the trail.
08:05
Finish your walk back up the trail. The scenery is best in this soft morning light before the day gets busy.
