Zhangye Danxia Colorful Landform Photo and Check-in Guide, The Popular Spot is So Beautiful

Discover the Northwest's photography paradise! Zhangye Danxia Colorful Landform is like a palette spilled by God 🎨 Not only breathtaking but also a holy land for photos, every shot looks like a masterpiece. 📸 Must-visit spots: 1⃣️ Colorful Fairy Fate Platform This is the highest viewing platform in the scenic area (currently under maintenance), but the nearby photo spots are just as amazing! Recommended to visit at sunset when the golden sunlight shines on the Danxia, making the colors pop vividly. 2⃣️ Colorful Sea of Clouds Platform The most open viewing platform, perfect for panoramic shots. Aerial drone shots are even more stunning (drones are allowed in the scenic area but must be registered in advance). 3⃣️ Colorful Splendid Platform The area with the richest colors, intertwining red, yellow, white, and gray. Remember to wear solid color clothes for the best photo effect. 4⃣️ No.1 Viewing Platform Closest to the entrance, suitable for those short on time. The fan-shaped Danxia here is very unique. 🍽️ Nearby Food Tips: · There are snack stalls at the entrance, apricot peel water and cold noodles are very refreshing. · On the way back to the city, we recommend visiting "Ganzhou Night Market" (40 minutes by car). Be sure to try the milk egg fermented rice wine and stir-fried bola. 👗 Outfit Suggestions: Bright-colored dresses or pure white outfits are the best for photos! Remember to wear sunglasses and a sun hat, the UV rays are really strong. 🚗 Transportation Guide: · Car rental: About 200 RMB per car for round trip from the city. · Bus: Direct shuttle from Zhangye West Bus Station (16 RMB per person). · Self-driving: Navigate to "Danxia Colorful Landform Scenic Area North Gate," parking fee is 5 RMB. ⚠️ Tips: 1. To capture morning mist, catch the earliest entry (5:30 AM). 2. Do not step on the rock formations! Everyone is responsible for protecting the landscape. 3. Bring drinking water! There are few supply points inside the scenic area. 4. Colors are most vivid after rain, check the weather before you go.
