In-depth Experience of Zhangye Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon

Let's get straight to the point. It's definitely worth an in-depth experience. There are two types of tickets for Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon: regular tour and in-depth tour. The regular tour ticket is CNY 100, and the in-depth tour ticket is CNY 300. I recommend the in-depth tour. It's worth it. Here is the complete guide: 1. Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon is 70 km away from downtown Zhangye, so I recommend staying near the scenic area. The accommodation near the scenic area is very basic (even a bit rough), but the price is cheap, less than CNY 200 per night. It's perfect for budget travelers who love adventure. 2. Enter the park early in the morning. I recommend entering the park at 8:30 am, so it won't be too hot. This is the best time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in comfort. 3. The in-depth tour includes a lot of activities, and there are 4 types of transportation, which is very interesting. First, take the shuttle bus to the first attraction, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains. Then take an off-road vehicle into the mountains to start the adventure. The road is bumpy, so don't sit in the back row. Then ride a camel to experience the northwest style. Finally, take a camel cart to cross the canyon. At first, I thought the CNY 300 ticket was expensive, but later I found that these transportation tools were worth it. 4. There are transportation tools in the front, but I found that the most tiring part was the end. At the end, you need to return from the Grand Canyon and climb hundreds of steps, which was exhausting. But it was also very interesting, a little exciting and thrilling. 5. As for the scenery, it is really different from Zhangye Danxia Landform. It is more northwest style, more exciting, and more interesting. If you like to take beautiful photos, I recommend Zhangye Danxia Landform. But if you like northwest style, excitement, adventure, and in-depth experience, go for it. You won't regret it.
