▲ Ink danxia, the closest danxia to the city in China with an ink painting texture. Lanzhou ink danxia attraction is open from 8:30 to 18:00 during peak season (Apr 1-Oct 9) and 9:00 to 17:00 during off-peak season. Admission ticket costs 60 CNY in peak season and 40 CNY in off-peak season. A 30 CNY sightseeing bus ticket is mandatory (due to the large area of the attraction which is difficult to cover on foot).
▲ Must-visit: Silk road sunset glow, red-crowned crane viewing, and emerald peaks touching the sky. Ideal shooting time: Early morning or sunset (light and shadow outline rock layers with more saturated colors). Climbing or carving on the Danxia rock formations is strictly prohibited.
▲ Kushui rose garden, the hometown of Chinese roses, blooming season from May to June
