Visiting Lanzhou, these 60 yuan were so worth it!!!
How much do you know about the scenic area
Lanzhou Ink Danxia Tourist Area is located on the banks of the Yellow River and the eastern gateway of the Silk Road Hexi Corridor, situated between Lanzhou city and the new district of Lanzhou, spanning Yongdeng County, Xigu District, and Gaolan County of Lanzhou, with the main area in Kushi Town and Shuping Town of Yongdeng County. This area of colorful hills crisscrossed by ravines, stretching from the east side of Dahuaishan to the south bank of the Yellow River, from Zhuanglang River to the west side of Zhutuo Mountain, and to the north side of Dahong Mountain, covers an area of more than 600 square kilometers, comparable to the land area of Singapore. The planned total area of the scenic spot is 400 square kilometers, with a phase one planned area of 25 square kilometers, making it the largest Danxia landform discovered in China in terms of distribution area.
How much do you know about the Danxia landform
The Danxia landform is a masterpiece produced by nature. With the uplift of the earth's crust, the terrestrial sedimentary red beds made a dazzling entrance. Artisans such as 'running water', 'wind erosion', and 'gravity collapse' took the fractures that appeared during the uplift of the red beds as their starting point, and with bold strokes, they took turns to carve out the geomorphological features characterized by red cliffs and Danxia.
Danxia landforms are not uncommon in China, but their concentrated distribution areas are mainly in the southeast, southwest, and northwest regions of the country.
① Southeast region: Here, Danxia landforms of various stages and forms have developed, and one can see the spectacle of 'three generations under one roof' with old, middle-aged, and young formations;
② Southwest region: The crustal movement here is more intense, and the uplift is more obvious, with most of the Danxia being in their prime, such as the unique 'ring cliff Danxia';
③ Northwest region: The climate here is arid, and compared to the gentle charm of the southern Danxia, the Danxia here carries the bold spirit of wind and sand, such as 'window lattice-style and palace-style Danxia'.
Danxia is not unique to China, but only the Chinese have poured abundant emotions into it, thus the Chinese Danxia has gradually taken on a meaning beyond the landscape. The red rock layers, as fiery as flames, symbolize prosperity and auspiciousness, aligning with the Chinese pursuit of beauty; the shape full of imaginative space also intoxicates those who are passionate about expressing their feelings through mountains and rivers.

The scenic spot is very large, the scenery I think is good, it is a scenery we can't see in the south, the sky is very blue, there is a sandy road, it is not expensive, less than 200, you can drive for more than 40 minutes.
For the southern friends, the first time I saw the colorful mountains at first sight, I was really surprised. The wrong peak travel, the scenic spot is really small, hahaha. The experience is very good, the ink Danxia is very beautiful, it is worth seeing once
The ink Danxia is more than 40 kilometers away from Lanzhou City. It is very good to walk all the way. The parking lot is very good. There is a bus at the entrance of the scenic spot. Where can I ride horses, see animals, and take a sightseeing bus to the second station. Where is the view wide, the layers of mountains are colorful and colorful, A circle of 360 degrees of different feelings, unfortunately, I went to the plank road late and didn't let me go, so I had to take the sightseeing bus to the third station again. Where to eat, drink and live, continue to reach the fourth station, where is the visual feast, close to shoot the magnificent scenery.
Very worth going, different scenery. The driver is easy-going and introduced Lanzhou's customs, human geography and specialties along the way. Mogou along the beef noodles and Hujia buns are worth a visit.
Lanzhou ink Danxia is well-deserved, can only sigh the ghostly work of nature, the scenic spot management is in place, the itinerary is reasonable, there is no need to worry about it, as long as you take the battery car and follow it one stop. Ctrip booking is convenient and fast, no need to pick up the ticket, you can enter the park by swiping your ID card
Great attractions! Some exceeded expectations. Friends who want to go are best to bring a camera, and mobile phone photos cannot reflect the beauty of Danxia landform. I want to give a suggestion to the scenic spot, it is best to set up some signs or tips on the walking route. For example, we went down from the first space capsule to Ruyi Bridge, and found that there were no tourists before and after, and there was no end in sight when we walked forward. There was a rest stop in the middle, and there was no one in the room like an office. Can we continue to move forward? How far is the road ahead? Is it to return the same way or there is a site in front of the tourists? We don't know these. In the end, it is safe to return to the original point. In addition, other aspects of the scenic spot are doing well, and the battery car pick-up and drop-off tour of the scenic spot is very good! The scenery is really magnificent! Worth visiting!
