Very beautiful and shocking. Thanks for the creation of nature. No one can reach it in China. There is no regret in this life. 2.5 kilometers of plank road, deep into the scenic spot, swim in nine colors of Danxia, enjoy the ink and ink, the wonderful pen, the wonderful!
Overall it is quite satisfactory. The scenery is OK, it is too inconvenient. The scenic bus + sightseeing bus directly rushed to the top of the Range Rover. It was less than an hour to play. We walked down the plank road, overturned two hills, at noon, there was no one on the plank road, and there was a security guard in both places along the way, and there was no place to sell water. Terrible people~ ah that is! For the first time to Lanzhou friends this place is still worth seeing, in addition to the other quite satisfactory.
The scenery is beautiful and strange. There is an elevator on the upper heights. It is friendly to the elderly. The scenic spot is large and there is a scenic car, but the strange thing is that there are 2 kilometers in the middle that there is no scenic car. You need to walk or use a shared battery car.
The ink Danxia is more than 40 kilometers away from Lanzhou City. It is very good to walk all the way. The parking lot is very good. There is a bus at the entrance of the scenic spot. Where can I ride horses, see animals, and take a sightseeing bus to the second station. Where is the view wide, the layers of mountains are colorful and colorful, A circle of 360 degrees of different feelings, unfortunately, I went to the plank road late and didn't let me go, so I had to take the sightseeing bus to the third station again. Where to eat, drink and live, continue to reach the fourth station, where is the visual feast, close to shoot the magnificent scenery.
It is a unique landform in Lanzhou and the northwest region...Danxia landform. I didn't know if Danxia Mountain was near here when I was flying, and I was attracted by this landform mountain, so I went for a walk. There is a self-service battery car in the scenic area, and the rent is only 38 yuan, which is quite satisfactory. Pay attention to sun protection and wearing hats.
Very worth going, different scenery. The driver is easy-going and introduced Lanzhou's customs, human geography and specialties along the way. Mogou along the beef noodles and Hujia buns are worth a visit.
For the southern friends, the first time I saw the colorful mountains at first sight, I was really surprised. The wrong peak travel, the scenic spot is really small, hahaha. The experience is very good, the ink Danxia is very beautiful, it is worth seeing once
Don't be confused by the entrance. Just arrived at the entrance of the entrance attraction, almost half of the heart was cold, but after entering, there was a bus inside the scenic spot to the convertible, and then took the convertible up the mountain. There were many internal attractions, and there was a long narrow road that could be walked. Play time 6 hours. There are food at several attractions inside, and ramen freshly squeezed juices are available. Such a high mountain road is not blinded by a big slide.
