    "Danxia landform, in-depth tour has explanations, the young lady explained is very easy-going, and very detailed, saying that Marco Polo, Tang Seng have been here, and Wencheng Princess have all come. I asked Miss Tang Seng which monster was caught here? She said that Zhang Yu was not caught, but was caught in Jiuquan... The point of deep swimming is different from ordinary, mainly one person is less casual"

    Highlights: The Zhangye Danxia landform was formed over 6 million years ago. It is located in Zhangye city, within Linze and Sunan counties.

    "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)"

    "Binggou Danxia is a fun Danxia landform scenic spot in the west of Zhangye. Although there is no colorful Danxia scenic spot famous, the scenery is not inferior at all. It is worth a visit, about 50 kilometers away from the city by car."
    Sunan
    48.1km from downtown
    Highlights: Binggou Danxia Scenic Area is located in the Zhangnan Sunan Yugu Autonomous County. It is a natural scenic spot dominated by the red palace-type Danxia landform. Compared with the Zhangye Danxia landform scenic spot (also known as the colorful Danxia) not far away, Danxia's color is relatively simple and has little change, but the main feature of the scenic spot is that the shape of the Danxia landform is very unique here. The style of the style is very large. Moreover, due to the late development here, there are fewer tourists than the colorful Danxia, ​​and you can have a quiet view.
