Amazing! The hidden fiery planet, a travel guide to The Wave Valley.

The Wave Valley is located in Jingbian County, Yulin, Shaanxi. The red sandstone Danxia landform is absolutely stunning, especially magical, like waves, hence the name Wave Valley. Some say it resembles "China's version of Arizona's Wave Valley." Here you can mainly see three special red rock landscapes, called Flame Danxia, Red Cliff Danxia, and Earth Core Danxia. There is also a Water Danxia, but it is still under development. Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) are the best times to visit, as the climate is most comfortable, neither too cold nor too hot, suitable for walking around. The red rocks are most beautiful on sunny days, and their colors become even brighter after rain. For photography enthusiasts, the best lighting is in the morning or evening. Traveling from Xi'an: You can take a long-distance bus, train, or drive. Traveling from Yulin: There are tourist buses directly to the scenic area, or you can drive. If driving, navigate to The Wave Valley and follow the directions. There is a narrow section of road near the destination, so please drive carefully. The scenic area generally opens at 8am and closes at 5pm. Adult tickets are 100 CNY, while minors and students enjoy half price. There are many other preferential policies that you can check carefully when booking. The glass bridge inside the scenic area requires a separate fee of 50 CNY. When visiting, remember to wear comfortable shoes, as there will be a lot of walking. If visiting in summer, bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as the sun is very strong. Bring your own water and snacks, as things in the scenic area may be more expensive. If you enjoy photography, bring your camera; this place will not disappoint. I would call this a paradise for photography lovers, it's simply too picturesque. Also, pay attention to safety, don't climb randomly, respect nature, and don't litter.
