This is not a foreign country, but a newly opened magical world in western Sichuan

Many people who travel to western Sichuan will choose to go to Moshi Park and Lianbaoyize. These two places have become exotic planets and Middle-earth in the minds of many people because of their unique black mylonite and fantastic stalagmite mountains. But in fact, there is a little-known plateau Danxia hidden in western Sichuan - the Hongshan Scenic Area in Xinlong County. Speaking of Danxia landform, Zhangye's colorful Danxia is undoubtedly the most famous, but its Danxia landform is all exposed. The Hongshan in Xinlong County cleverly mixes forests, meadows and waterfalls in the Danxia landform, making the entire scenic area look more layered and dreamy. This scenic spot has just opened recently and the number of tourists is relatively small. If you come to western Sichuan during holidays and are afraid of crowds, then this scenic spot is definitely worth a visit. Just navigate to "Xinlong Hongshan Scenic Area" to arrive. You can take a sightseeing bus during the entire tour, and then walk down the mountain. This is very good because the scenic area is at a high altitude of about 4,000 meters, and tourists may feel exhausted if they climb too much. The entire tour only takes half a day, which will not waste too much time and allow you to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of Hongshan Scenic Area. Along the way, you can enjoy the Danxia landform from various angles. Some places require climbing, but the view overlooking the entire Danxia landform is definitely worth it. I think Hongshan Scenic Area can definitely be ranked among the top ten scenic spots in Sichuan, and it is even an underestimated niche scenic spot. The beauty and uniqueness of the scenery here lies in the fact that in the midst of a green hillside, the red Danxia stone mountain suddenly appears, creating a sense of separation. Moreover, the entire Hongshan Scenic Area is very large, and the rolling Hongshan Mountains spread out in front of you, which is very spectacular. Xinlong County is very close to Ganzi County. As the pearl on National Highway 317, Ganzi County has many densely populated scenic spots around it. If you travel in western Sichuan, don't miss this underrated county.
