Route Introduction
- From Baodu Village in Lingchuan County, Shanxi — a remote settlement with no road access deep in the Taihang — descend Baodu Ravine along the valley past the Sky Gap and chain-assisted cliff sections into Baligou scenic area in Huixian, Henan.
- The route is about 12 km with a net descent of roughly 900 m.
- Waterfalls, deep pools and sheer gorge walls create a raw, spectacular landscape around this village without roads.
- The Sky Gap demands gripping chains while edging down the cliff; after rain it is treacherous, so travel in a group and wear helmets.
