Trip to Jinchang, China 🇨🇳

Jinchang may not be as famous as other cities in Gansu, but when we visited, we discovered some truly stunning locations perfect for photography. From otherworldly landscapes to peaceful gardens, this city offers a unique mix of nature and culture. Here are three must-visit spots for capturing breathtaking shots! Baita Lake Park – A Hidden Oasis in the Desert 🌿 We explored Baita Lake Park and were surprised by how peaceful and scenic it was. The shimmering lake, surrounded by lush greenery and traditional pavilions, creates a beautiful contrast with the surrounding arid landscape. The best time for photos is in the early morning when the water is still, allowing for stunning reflections. Whether you’re taking landscape shots or enjoying a quiet moment, this park is a hidden gem! 📍 Address: Baita Lake Scenic Area, Jinchang, Gansu, China Puliang Hot Spring – A Natural Wonderland 💦 We visited Puliang Hot Spring and were amazed by the unique rock formations and crystal-clear waters. The area has a mystical feel, with steam rising from the warm pools, making it a perfect spot for atmospheric photography. The best time to visit is early morning or just before sunset when the lighting adds a golden glow to the landscape. If you love capturing nature at its most serene, this is a must-visit! 📍 Address: Puliang Town, Jinchang, Gansu, China Jinchang National Geopark – A Mars-Like Landscape 🏜️ One of the most unique places we visited in Jinchang was the National Geopark, often called “China’s Mars Base” because of its reddish rock formations and barren desert scenery. Walking through this alien-like terrain felt like stepping onto another planet! The best time for photography is at sunset when the deep reds and oranges of the rocks are at their most vibrant. It’s a dream location for anyone who loves dramatic, otherworldly landscapes. 📍 Address: Near Xipo Town, Jinchang, Gansu, China Jinchang is full of surprises, offering a mix of stunning natural beauty and peaceful retreats. Whether you’re exploring Mars-like landscapes, soaking in hot springs, or enjoying a quiet lakeside view, this city has plenty to offer for photographers! 📷✨ #discoverchina #vacation #travel
