Don't step on a landmine! Guide National Geopark

Guide National Geopark boasts landscapes comparable to the colorful Danxia of Zhangye, yet it is much less known, devoid of the throngs of tourists, evoking a sense of insignificance in the vastness of the world. The sky is high, the earth is wide, and strange rocks stand tall. The passage of time has left its marks on the canyons, and stepping into nature, one feels the insignificance of humanity. 📌 The park is vast, but there are few places to visit. I don't really recommend taking the tour bus inside the park, more on that later. 📌 Essential items: hat, water, comfortable shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen The weather was clear and sunny on the day I visited, with intense sunlight and dazzling brightness. It wasn't too hot, but the strong wind at the top of the slope could be quite chilling, so be prepared. ❗Special Attention❗ The whole journey takes about 2 hours. If you are with a tour group, the guide will rave about the park's tour bus, saying the park is huge and you need to take their electric car to get out in two hours, but you can get off at any time. They claim there are staff everywhere in the park, but in reality, there aren't. I didn't see many tourists throughout the journey. The sightseeing car will drop you off halfway, and you have to walk the rest of the way, which is not friendly for those who don't want to walk. The electric car ticket 💰60r is not worth it. Although the scenery here is quite nice, and it's supposed to be natural, there's too much human intervention, making it feel like a half-baked artificial attraction. They say there are staff everywhere in the park, but when you actually need to find someone, there's no one around, and many places are off-limits, with security even scolding you???
