The park, located in Anshun city's Ziyun county, is a popular scenic spot with a vast 70-square-kilometer karst landscape populated by gorgeous forests, caves and lakes.

Possessing a unique combination of grandeur and tranquility, Getu River Geological Park is not only an ideal place for extreme sports lovers to get their adrenaline rushing, but also for common tourists to appreciate some breathtaking views.
