From Lanzhou to Zhangye, the snow tops of the Qilian Mountains are clearly visible in the distance. Thousands of years ago, some people walked non-stop, some people long distance attack, also through this narrow Hexi corridor. Perhaps for the Qilian Mountains, a thousand years is just a moment; But now standing at the bottom of the mountain looking east, in a flash, it has passed a thousand years.

I like Zhangye very much, mild and enthusiastic, straightforward and heroic. Zhangye food is also very rich, like stir-fry with some wine, or malatang with a cup of apricot tea. After eating, I staggered to the Oasis Park, blowing the cool wind at night, watching the red Western dance of uncles and aunts, and something seemed to be ignited in my heart.

Whether it takes the Baozi of the Qinggan Ring line or comes to Zhangye alone to play, colorful Danxia is one of the must-go attractions.

📍 Place: Zhangye Colorful Danxia Scenic Spot
🎫 Ticket :93rmb/ person (including ticket and bus)
🅿️ Parking :10rmb/ time

Recommended play time: 4-5h
The best before and after sunset, around 8:50 sunset in June, personal advice is to enter the park at 4 PM, 9 o 'clock to play the car out of the scenic area, this time the weather is not too hot and the mountain color is more bright, the photo is better.

The whole scenic area of colorful Danxia is perfect, each transfer station can get off to play and then ride, or directly do not get off directly to the next station, change the frequency of a lot of do not worry!

How to get around four observation decks

1️⃣ Xianyuantai: the first parking point, No. 2 observation deck, the scenery is general, because we just came in more novel, crowded with people, this station can simply take a photo to get on the next station. Enough time or good physical strength can climb the wooden trestle to take photos and play; If time is tight or physical strength is general, it is recommended to focus on the back two viewing platforms.

2️⃣ Yunhaitai: the second best viewing platform for easy movie! Internet celebrity S road is here! In addition, climbing all the way up the wooden plank road will have a different harvest. No. 1 observation platform, the second station parking space, this station is relatively large, the scenery is also very good, the entrance has a pavilion hanging marriage plate, here is also the location to watch the sunrise, but also to photograph Danxia winding path, you can stay more.

3️⃣ Jinxiu Platform: No. 5 observation platform, also the third stop parking space, here is the walking wooden plank road, the scenery is beautiful and diverse, you can walk along the wooden plank road side to enjoy, about 10 minutes walk to the boarding point. The point is that there are very few people here, there is no need to crowd people, and any film can be shot.

4️⃣ Hongxia Terrace: This is the most beautiful spot in the scenic spot, the publicity photo booth, but also the most crowded position, here you can see the sunset, there is a National Geographic card box above, this station can stay more, and Danxia photo, perfect.

The 4 viewing platforms are the best place to see the most films ️ Especially before and after sunset, the color of the mountain is several degrees brighter than that visible to the naked eye at noon! It's also a great place to watch the sunset!
