Xianghui Rock

　　The canyon consists of three open sections and two enclosed sections, divided into seven scenic areas: Guangming River, Ying River, Xianghui Rock Waterfall Group, and Xianghui Rock. It is a provincial-level scenic spot that combines mountains, water, forests, cliffs, caves, and bridges, embodying seclusion, danger, wonder, grandeur, and beauty in one valley.

　　Xianghui Rock Scenic Area is located in Hefeng Township, south of Kaiyang County, over 60 kilometers from Guiyang. The area features rolling peaks, rugged rocks, cascading waterfalls, and flowing springs, presenting a spectacular sight.
