    "📍 Zhang Yu. Colorful Danxia National Geographic's eye shadow disk, overturned color palette, fat pork... People will always see the things in the textbook at some point in the future ​ sighing at the magical work of nature, suddenly thinking of the geography class in high school, The landform of the geographical book "wind erosion Yadan, water erosion Danxia" has been familiar.

    "Old people who can't walk are not recommended to travel. Choose the fastest route, the steps are steep and long, and the knees are not very good. It is not recommended to enter the valley. The sightseeing car is 30 yuan very cost-effective, but after getting off the bus, you can only rely on your 11th road to the exit to take the bus."

    "The Big Buddha Temple is located in Zhangye City. It is a landmark of Zhangye. It is also a place that can't be missed when you come to Zhangye. The Big Buddha Temple's Big Buddha Hall is dedicated to a body 35 meters long, shoulder width 7.5 meters, ears length about 4 meters, feet length 5.2 meters, and even the middle of the Buddha finger can sleep one person. The largest mud in the country is like a reclining Buddha. The reclining Buddha sleeps in the middle of the hall. The reclining Buddha sleeps on the top of the lotus Buddha altar, with the head pillow on the lotus table, lying sideways, with his eyes half closed and his lips slightly evocative. The natural, peaceful and lifelike appearance makes people calm down immediately after watching. However, the reclining Buddha is not solid, but hollow. There are various scriptures such as the "Da Tibetan Sutra" and stone monuments, bronze Buddha, bronze environment, copper pots and other cultural relics. You can see it in the back halls, which is really shocking. (Photos are prohibited in the hall)"
