Secluded Beauty Unknown to the World (Part Two)
You can enter by taking the scenic area sightseeing bus, which winds up the mountain road to reach the top. Once you ascend to the high ground, you can overlook the mountains, which are winding and majestic. The Danxia landforms are colorful and splendid, with hues of red and purple, truly living up to their reputation.
Punching in at the ancient Silk Road
Nestled under the red soil hills, wooden houses are lined up, with wooden fences neatly arrayed. Gourds, copper bells, and camel saddles hang on them, revealing that this place was once an essential stop on the Silk Road. Today, it is bustling with people coming and going. Hot air balloons drift in the mid-air, displaying a new visage of the ancient Silk Road.
Encountering the Rainbow Kingdom, the ink Danxia in Lanzhou amazed me
The Danxia landform is one of the most famous scenic spots in the northwest region. This ancient land, which was once a vast ocean millions of years ago, now resembles a huge palette. It takes about an hour's drive from Lanzhou city to reach the area. The entrance to the scenic area is very broad, and you feel the expanse of the land as soon as you get out of the car. The surrounding mountains are undulating, but the entrance is not the Danxia landform. As you proceed with the sightseeing car, you can quickly see the varied Danxia landforms with very peculiar geology. The sightseeing car first takes you to the very top of the Danxia landforms, and then gradually moves downward, getting closer and closer to the landforms. The Danxia landforms in Lanzhou are mainly characterized by red mountains, with a secondary mix of reddish-brown and earthy yellow, due to the perennial drought and differences in sunlight exposure. The individual landforms are countless in their unique and artistic shapes. From the highest point, overlooking the Danxia is like looking at a painting of reddish ink and greenish-blue. It's very beautiful, and up close, it looks like a cascade of rainbows falling from the sky. The Danxia landforms in Lanzhou are different from those in Zhangye; Lanzhou's are only red and yellow, while Zhangye's are multicolored. The entire ink Danxia scenic area in Lanzhou takes about 2 hours to tour. There is a sightseeing car available throughout the journey.
Lanzhou | Walking in the Northwest, the Ink Danxia
I've arrived in Lanzhou! The first stop is the Ink Danxia⛰️
⏰I went there from the downtown area at ten in the morning and strolled until three in the afternoon.
The scenic area is really beautiful, a very typical Danxia landform. If it rained the day before, the colors of the landform would be even more vivid!
🍽️There's a Dicos at one of the spots, so no worries about not having anything to eat, and there are also many local beef noodles and the like.
🛍️When leaving, I bought a crushed glass bracelet at the cultural and creative shop, which is super characteristic and looks great!
🚗To go back and forth, just take a taxi.

Danxia Self-Driving Camp of in Kushui Town, Yongdeng County Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Kushui Danxia
Kushui Danxia is located in Kushui Town, Yongdeng County, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, also known as Shuiying Danxia. It is a Danxia landform, with the main geological relics being Danxia and colored hills. The terrain is undulating and layered. Kushui Danxia is named after the bitter water in the area, and hence the Danxia is also called Kushui Danxia. It is dominated by a brownish-red hue, covering the mountains and fields, rich in color. Compared with the loess high slopes of the northwest, it has similarities, but also clear differences. Similarities include the continuous gullies and winding paths, but what's different is that the use of color here in Danxia is bolder, with more unrestrained contrasting colors, reflecting the vitality of youth.

Zhongchuan Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Zhongchuan Town | You can visit if you have an overnight layover in Lanzhou
| You can visit if you have an overnight layover in Lanzhou.🏡 If you have enough time during your layover in Lanzhou, but it's too late to go to the city, you can visit Zhongchuan Town. Especially if you stay at the Asia-Pacific World Trade Plaza at night, it's very convenient to go to Zhongchuan Town the next morning.
·
🏡 It only takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the hotel. It's easy to find along the wide main road. It's just a typical man-made ancient town, probably designed to complement nearby attractions like the Great Wall Western Film City to create a comprehensive tourism complex. But it didn't succeed.
·
🏡 So, even if you come here on Saturday, it's deserted, with only a few shops open. However, if you go to the back mountain Huan Cui Lake, they are making snow, so there might be a snow park in the future.
·
🏡 In short, you can visit if it's convenient, but there's no need to go out of your way.
