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.
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.
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,
I saw it on the Internet before. It was very good when I saw it for free. Some people commented that it was comparable to the Antelope Valley in the United States, so I came to see it in person. The scenery is really good and distinctive, but the price is not cheap. The ticket is 80. It takes some time to walk on the glass plank road. You can take the small loop in a hurry
This season, northern Shaanxi is bare everywhere, it is better to go to the Wave Valley, the children are very happy, there are really few people, and it is very clean. It should be better to have a spring flower in the valley in another month.
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.
