The scenery is great, especially the first-line sky has the feeling of the American Antelope Valley. The physical strength is not as high as that mentioned in other comments. The family easily walks through. There are few toilets in the scenic area. The road before arriving at the scenic spot is very narrow, and traffic jams are easy on holidays.
The weather must be good. I live nearby the first night of the long holiday. There are fewer people going in the next morning. The place is open and the people are scattered. There is no blockage. There is a line of days to queue up. It is worth punching in several places.
Those who have not seen the landform can take a look. It takes about three to four hours to walk. There are more than five people. The first line of the day is queued for three hours. The traffic jam is seriously unable to drive in. The villagers along the road park for 10 yuan and then walk in.
Maybe due to the weather, the wind and sand are relatively large, plus the filter support of various reviews of PS Dafa, it actually doesn't feel so good, but it is indeed a good place to go, the public attractions in the niche cities are also worth the fare. It feels quite good,
The Danxia landform landscape of the Wave Valley Scenic Area is located in the arid loess plateau and desert junction in northern China. The landscape is characterized by the wave-shaped Danxia micro-landform, and the Danxia Valley is the most typical. All lament that it is the ghost of nature, this place is known as the "year round of time, the fingerprint of the earth" Jingbian Wave Valley.
Bought a glass bridge package, which can experience the characteristics of the glass bridge and save space and compare values. The whole journey is about 3 hours, and there is a small part of the mountain climbing section, most of which are flat, mainly far away. This young man has no problem with sports. The canyon is very distinctive, and it is actually more beautiful than the photo.
When I came to the valley of waves, I saw red stones like mudslides, which were flowing in circles, in circles, in circles, in curves and in curves to the gully. This stone resembles a sandstone, and the weathering is very serious. Walking on top, you will slip the red sand attached to your skin without paying attention. Follow the red stones along the ditch and go down, and you will see large and flat stone walls in the wide area, which are red from top to bottom and are basically the same color. In the narrow, red stones appear to be flowing water, like red mud, flowing toward the bottom of the ditch. On the long mouth opposite the village ditch, the terrain here is relatively flat, those layers of stone like a large number of red cloths covered on the ground after being soaked, layer by layer, roll, plate under the sunset, abnormal red; A red water from loess slowly flows down low-lying areas. Along the trail of red stones, the eyes are suddenly wide, a river valley that looks like a canyon is in front. The red stones all solidified here in flowing water, like a red ice hanging, like a frozen magma, with the trench bottom of a small river and the distant windmills that rotate on the top of the green vegetation constitute a beautiful real picture.
It is 20-30 kilometers away from Jingbian County. I don’t know the specifics. It seems that there is no public transportation. There is a section of Panshan Road. It is directly driven to the gate of the scenic spot. The parking fee is 5 yuan. The parking lot is quite large. The parking lot is a few hundred meters away from the gate of the scenic spot. No need to change tickets, scan the code directly into the scenic spot. There is no need to take the scenic traffic car in the scenic area. There are two roads in the scenic gate area. One is to take the glass plank road to the gunpowder Danxia. Most people go directly to the steps and go down the mountain to take another line. Going to the valley is the center of the earth. Danxia, there is a small leisure square, the whole journey is more walks, Play for about 2 hours.
