#chinatrip Located in Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, Wave Valley (波浪谷) is a hidden gem known for its breathtaking, wave-like sandstone formations. Often compared to the Antelope Canyon in the United States, this geological wonder boasts striking red sandstone ridges, layered rock patterns, and smooth, flowing lines carved by natural forces over millions of years. The valley’s unique formations were created through a combination of wind and water erosion, resulting in a mesmerizing landscape of curved surfaces and intricate textures. The vibrant hues of red, orange, and brown shift beautifully under different lighting conditions, especially during sunrise and sunset, offering photographers and nature enthusiasts an incredible visual experience. Visitors can walk along the narrow pathways and open canyons, marveling at the stunning details of the sandstone surfaces. The site is divided into several sections, each with distinct rock patterns and formations, creating a dreamlike atmosphere as you explore deeper into the valley. For the best experience, it’s recommended to visit Wave Valley during clear weather, when the sunlight accentuates the vibrant colors and casts dramatic shadows across the rock surfaces. Comfortable walking shoes and sun protection are essential for navigating the trails. Wave Valley remains relatively uncrowded and uncommercialized, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the serenity of the natural landscape. Whether you’re an adventurer, a photographer, or simply a lover of nature, Wave Valley offers a surreal escape into one of China’s most stunning natural wonders. A trip to Shaanxi’s Wave Valley is not just a journey into a geological marvel—it’s an unforgettable encounter with nature’s artistry carved in stone.

Step into Yulin Wave Valley and you'll be greeted by a vast expanse of red sandstone, a red ocean that stands out against the backdrop of the Loess Plateau. The layers of rock resemble waves, with delicate textures that tell the story of the passage of time. Touch the rocks and feel the temperature of the years. There are mysterious maze-like paths here, as well as viewing platforms that offer panoramic views. The red sandstone, vegetation, and land are intertwined to form a colorful scroll. The rocks in the canyon are towering, the streams are gurgling, and the Wave Valley under the setting sun is even more colorful, like a burning flame. Yulin Wave Valley is a precious gift from nature that allows people to appreciate the power of time and the miracle of life. 🌟Flame Danxia: This is a type of landform that is most representative of wave-shaped Danxia. It is known as "the place that looks most like Mars". Up close, each piece of rock and each wave is stretching out beautiful curves and strong colors. When the sunlight hits the ripples of the sandstone, it further highlights the three-dimensionality of the waves, making them look particularly bright and full against the blue sky. Walking among them is like surfing in the sea and exploring Mars. 🌟Red Cliff Danxia: This is a typical canyon landscape in the Wave Valley Scenic Area. The north side of the canyon is a nearly 100-meter-high red rock cliff, while the south side is a typical Loess Plateau landform. Walking in between, the two completely different views bring a strong visual impact, and there is a strange beauty in contrast. The bottom of the valley is full of green grass, the Liusha River shuttles through it, and there are several natural "echo walls". Among them, there is a curved turn. Chatting tens of meters away, you can't see the person, but the voice is close to your ears, which is wonderful. 🌟Earth's Heart Danxia: There is a light-picking platform that looks like a timeline, a Xiangyun platform that looks like a cloud, and a dragon heart platform that is transformed from the heart of a dragon in the ancient myth "Dragon and Tiger Fight"... Time and space intersect here, and the mark of life's endlessness converges here. Earth's Heart Danxia, known as the "time fingerprint, earth annual ring". Walking among them, you can feel the timeless beauty of billions of years.

Not abroad! Not Zhangye! This place in Shaanxi is seriously underestimated! It's like coming to the surface of Mars, the setting sun is shining, and the wave-shaped Danxia landform formed 96 million years ago is like the earth's annual rings, and every shot is a big shot 😍 If you haven't decided where to go for the National Day, you must come here to see, the recent temperature is super cool and comfortable: 📍Wave Valley Scenic Area, Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Surrounding provinces and cities can drive by themselves, or take a train to Jingbian Station 📍The scenic area is divided into three tour areas: Flame Danxia, Red Cliff Danxia, and Earth Danxia.

No need to go to the United States! Shaanxi hides a forgotten secret of Mars If I didn't tell you this is Shaanxi, you would definitely think it's on Mars. The waves formed by the Danxia landform are as beautiful as a dream scene, and every frame looks like a wallpaper. - Many people have been to the Antelope Canyon in the United States, but I would say that the Wave Valley in Shaanxi is even more stunning. It was formed in the Cretaceous period 96 million years ago and was formed after tens of millions of years of baptism by wind and sand. One cannot help but admire the wonders of nature. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

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.

In autumn, the sky is clear, the sunlight is soft, and the sandstone colors are more saturated. - Duration of visit: We recommend 1-2 days for a comprehensive and relaxed exploration of all areas. - Recommended sightseeing order: - The Flaming Danxia Area 🔥: This is the most iconic area of Wave Valley, featuring vast expanses of fiery red sandstone with layered wave patterns. Under direct sunlight, it resembles burning flames. The best time for photography is between 10 am and 2 pm when the light is abundant and the red sandstone is at its most vibrant. - The Earth's Core Danxia Area 🌋: Delve into the valley and experience the mysterious underworld.
