Zhangye Danxia Colorful Landform Pit Avoidance Guide|Pure Practical Tips

Zhangye Danxia Travel Guide!! Step-by-step to help you avoid pitfalls!! One of China's most beautiful Danxia landforms, truly lives up to its reputation!✨ Located at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, the air is fresh and the temperature is pleasant🌬 Recently fewer people and beautiful scenery, perfect timing for a visit!📸 💰【Ticket Pitfall Avoidance Guide】 ✔Regular combo ticket (admission + sightseeing bus) only 93 RMB! Student/senior discount 66 RMB, very convenient with ID card🆔 ⚠The in-depth tour for 328 RMB is honestly not recommended! Only adds 2 less popular spots, no need if time is tight🙅 🌅【Best Viewing Time】 ⏰Highly recommend entering after 4 PM! The midday sun is too harsh, Danxia colors look dull😑 After 5 PM the light is super gentle, landform colors instantly vibrant! ✨Perfect plan: visit over two days! Watch the sunset on day one🌄, shoot the sunrise on day two🌅 Tickets valid for 2 days, double experience for the price of one! 🚌【Route Pitfall Avoidance】 Sightseeing bus runs one-way loop! No going back if you miss a stop~ ✔Enter from the North Gate for the easiest route: Xianyuan Platform (No. 2) → Yunhai Platform (No. 1) → Jinxiu Platform (No. 5) → Hongxia Platform (No. 4) Quickly check in at the first two stops, focus on platforms No. 1 & 4!🔥 📍No. 4 Hongxia Platform is legendary! "Mountains of knives and seas of fire" glow blood red under the sunset, breathtakingly beautiful!❤ 👗【Outfit Guide】 Solid color clothes maximize photo quality! Must-have sunglasses + hat, sun protection and stylish🕶 ⚠Be sure to wear non-slip shoes! The boardwalk is especially slippery after rain 💡Practical Information: 📍Address: Nijia Ying Township, Linze County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province 🕘Opening Hours: 6:30-19:30 (summer) 7:30-18:00 (winter) 🚗Transportation: Recommended to drive or charter a car
