My WeChat Moments thinks I'm abroad, but I found a portal to another world in Shaanxi.

This place was named China's most beautiful rosy clouds canyon by *National Geographic*!! - Carved by tens of thousands of years of wind and rain, this otherworldly spectacle has been created. This isn't Antelope Canyon in the USA, but Ganquan Grand Canyon in Shaanxi, China. 🌟Travel Guide Tickets: 98 yuan/person, Sightseeing Bus: 70 yuan/person Opening Hours: Summer/Autumn 8:00-16:00 / Winter/Spring 8:30-15:00 Check the Shaanxi Huimin platform before buying tickets for a 50-yuan discount. 1️⃣Visiting the Grand Canyon is very simple. After buying tickets at the visitor center, transfer to the sightseeing bus to enter the scenic area. The bus will take you to the entrance of Birch Gully. After your visit, take the bus again to another viewing point. At the end of your tour, take the sightseeing bus back to the main gate. 2️⃣The scenic area only opens two or three canyons for visitors each day. The specific canyons open will be posted at the ticket office on the day of your visit. 3️⃣Weather is key at Ganquan Grand Canyon! Be sure to arrive at noon on a sunny day for the best lighting! Best viewing time: 11:00-13:00. The sightseeing bus takes 30 minutes from the visitor center to Birch Gully. 4️⃣Birch Gully is one of the most unique canyons, known as a "Photographer's Paradise." It's 300 meters long, with canyon walls mostly made of red and yellow rocks in diverse shapes. Especially under the midday sun, it creates magical light and shadow effects. Allow 1 hour for exploring. #
