Free admission to Zhangye Alien Valley, limited-time fan perks in five Hexi cities

From December 1 to December 31, Zhangye Alien Valley Scenic Area is offering exclusive free admission for residents of five Hexi cities (Wuwei, Jinchang, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Jiayuguan). Visitors can enter free of charge with an ID showing an address in these cities (original ticket price 120 RMB/person). A separate 40 RMB shuttle bus ticket is required for self-driving or taking the shuttle. The ochre canyon of Jupiter Illusion in the park is covered with snow, resembling a real-life set from "Interstellar"; among the billion-year geological wonders, colorful hills contrast with ice formations, making every photo look like a cyberpunk masterpiece. Visitors can drive or take a bus from Zhangye city (about a 1-hour drive). It is recommended to wear non-slip hiking shoes, warm down jackets, and bring a power bank. This winter, come to Alien Valley to feel the pulse of the Earth and embark on a soul-stirring interstellar expedition!
