Go to Zhayang Mountain, see different mountains and enjoy the tranquility

Go to Zhayang Mountain, see a different mountain, and enjoy the tranquility Nine bends of shading, ten miles of art gallery, unique landforms, cultural blessing, cure the summer heat, and enjoy the tranquility. Located in Dacaotan Township, Zhang County, Dingxi, Zhayangshan National Forest Park is a three-hour drive from Lanzhou. Along the way, you will pass the watershed and Shuangshimen, and encounter many beautiful scenery. It was windy and cold going up the watershed, but it was worth it to watch the clouds floating among the mountains. Arriving at Zhayang Mountain, the landscape is unique and it is also a good place to escape the summer heat. It is divided into Dongxi and Xixi. Most people go to Xixi, which is dominated by karst, with Danxia and karst landforms. The mountains are steep, the canyons are deep, the forests are lush and the grass is abundant, and there are strange peaks. There are gurgling streams and waterfalls all the way, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. There are many scenic spots, including the Poetry Cliff, where many inscriptions by celebrities from the Song and Ming dynasties add to the poetic atmosphere. There are also Three Drunken Stones, Santan Waterfall and One Line Sky. Simian Cliff is the center of the scenic area, also known as Jinqian Cliff. Four towering peaks outline a diamond-shaped sky, like a copper coin. We strolled along the way, stopped here and there, listened to the sound of the stream, and two hours passed quickly. When you reach the ladder, those who are not in good physical condition can return. It is too steep, 1,000 meters long, with a 60-degree slope and 1,850 steps. I gritted my teeth and thought that since I was already here, I might as well continue climbing. But halfway up I began to regret it because it was too tiring for my legs. But once you climb to the highest point and enter the South Gate of Heaven, reaching the mouth of the canyon where one person can pass, you will suddenly feel enlightened and relieved. On the alpine meadows, cattle and sheep roam leisurely. If you ride down the mountain on horseback, there is an additional charge. If you are physically fit, you can go down the mountain by yourself. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and you can see the terraced fields on the opposite hillside. The price/performance ratio of Shade Mountain is high, and the ticket price is 40, which is a reasonable price. It cost 120 RMB to ride down the mountain. The locals said there were cars going down the mountain, but I didn't see any. After having a big plate of chicken, you can go back and have another satisfying weekend.
