Binggou Danxia

very good sight. Different than Danxia geopark. Here the shapes, forms, landscapes are also stunning. More than colours. Perfect in the morning.The minibus makes two stops. Go up to all the viewing points; the 360-degree view is well worth it. Danxia Geopark has even more places to see; you could spend several days here. It's a shame there's not more time for it. Few tourists. You can do after Danxia Park, only 15 minutes by car

Each viewing platform has a different angle to enjoy the Danxia landscape, especially the changes in light and shadow in the early morning and dusk, which are particularly beautiful for photography. There are shuttle buses in the scenic area to connect the viewing platforms, suitable for travelers of different physical strength levels. Photo Spot Recommendations: The "Colorful Fairy Terrace" has a panoramic view of the photo booth. The most people take pictures. From a distance, it is as colorful as an oil painting. The “Rainbow Terrace” path is especially suitable for close-up shots of mountain textures, perfect for those who want solo or landscape photos. The Morning Star is the first choice for taking pictures at sunrise. As the sun shines on the hills, the sense of layering is more three-dimensional. Practical tips: 1. It is recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, Sunan morning and evening temperature difference is large but the noon sun is strong, protect the skin. 2. Wear lightweight, comfortable sneakers or hiking shoes to tour the observation deck trails more often. 3.
