❤Recommended reason: This time I went to Lanzhou, I found that Lanzhou has developed a new attraction~Ink Danxia, so I was very excited to drive there. After going there, I was very surprised. The area of Lanzhou's Danxia landform is larger than that of Zhangye's Colorful Danxia Scenic Area, and the scenery is super beautiful. 🌟Highlights: The planning and construction of the scenic area is very good, there is a scenic shuttle bus for each main scenic area, and you can visit the main scenic area by yourself. The points that need to be climbed and looked far away have plank road-style stairs, and elevators are added in higher places, which is convenient for the elderly and children. There are main scenic spots for viewing from a distance, main scenic spots for close viewing, and main scenic spots for sightseeing in the scenic bus, which can be described as diverse and meet different needs. ✅Must experience: The large-scale Danxia landform in Lanzhou is a bit different from Zhangye's Colorful Danxia. The color of the Lanzhou Ink Danxia Scenic Area is mainly purple and red, mixed with blue-gray, purple-gray, gray-green and other colors; Zhangye Danxia is mainly purple and red, mixed with blue-gray, gray-yellow, gray-green and other colors, therefore, in terms of color richness, Lanzhou's Ink Danxia is not much different from Zhangye's Danxia. If you have to say the difference, Zhangye's Danxia has a clearer and more diversified sense of color layers, and Lanzhou's Danxia is more spectacular and endless. The travel experience of the two scenic spots is good. 🚉Traffic strategy: Lanzhou Danxia is about an hour's drive from the city, and it is more convenient to drive by yourself, and you can go there by charter or car rental. 💰Per capita consumption: The current scenic area is half-price discount, the ticket is 40 yuan, the scenic bus is 20 yuan, and the cost performance is quite high.

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.
