Encounter the poetic landscape of Lanzhou's Danxia landform

Encounter the poetic landscape of Lanzhou's Danxia landform After being trapped in the concrete jungle for too long, I longed for the wonders of nature. When I stepped into Lanzhou's Danxia landform, time seemed to stand still, leaving only shock and awe in my heart. In December, I avoided the crowds and embarked on this quiet journey. After arriving at Zhongchuan Airport, I took the city rail to Lanzhou West Railway Station. The journey was smooth, and the scenery along the way made me look forward to the upcoming beauty. For this trip, I chose an 8-person afternoon tour on Trip.com. The price was affordable, including tickets, city transfers, and shuttle bus fees. I also purchased additional insurance for peace of mind. The driver picked us up on time at 1:30 pm and headed to the scenic area. When I entered the scenic area and got on the shuttle bus, my heart became more and more excited as the bus moved forward. When I stood on the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire landform, the spectacular scenery hit my heart. The undulating mountains were outlined by nature's brushstrokes, with unique contours. Under the gentle sunlight, the light and shadow intertwined, creating a strong sense of layering. When the clouds and mist surrounded the mountains, it was like stepping into a fairyland. The mist gently wrapped around the distant mountains, and I finally understood the beauty of the name "Danxia landform." Everything in front of me was like a slowly unfolding ink painting, with every fold and color stained with the traces of time. When visiting, keeping warm is essential. Hats, gloves, thermal pants, and thick down jackets are necessary to resist the cold of winter and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Lanzhou's Danxia landform is not only a visual feast but also a spiritual baptism. Here, I felt the grandeur and delicacy of nature and found the long-lost peace deep in my heart. If you also long for a trip away from the hustle and bustle, come here and encounter the unique poetry and magnificence of the Danxia landform.
