It's alright. Since it's in the city center, you can stop by the Giant Buddha Temple on the way to Mati Temple. The main attraction is the reclining giant Buddha; the rest is so-so, it depends on your personal preference. But I don't know much about this kind of history, so I don't have much to say.

It's good in all aspects. However, the management needs improvement. There are obvious instances of local government vehicles entering the core area of ​​the scenic spot directly without taking the sightseeing bus. To improve the overall quality of the scenic spot, it needs to be managed according to market standards.

Zhangye Binggou Danxia is absolutely stunning! The crimson cliff pillars, with their unique shapes, resemble a natural art palace. The scenic area is well-equipped and the staff are friendly. The scenery is beautiful and the crowds are few. Strolling through it feels like being in a dreamland. Absolutely amazing!

I feel that among all the attractions in Zhangye, Alien Valley has the best value for money. The various weathered rock structures are of different shapes and colors. It is so unique. It feels like you are out of the earth when you play there. This experience is full of happiness.

On the third day of the National Day trip, the journey from Zhangye to Jiuquan was long, so we arranged to go to the snow mountain first. It is indeed not famous, but the scenery is nice, and you may see marmots, but we didn’t see any. It was cold and windy, so you needed to wear a thin down jacket and gloves. There were plank roads all the way, but the altitude was 3900-4000m. This was the day with the fewest steps on the trip. We walked more than 8,000 meters and had not yet reached the end. I flew a drone, and it may not have been halfway, but I still felt very tired. It took 2 hours, plus the round trip bus ride was about 3 hours. There were not many people in the scenic area, so there was no need to queue.

The night tour of the Danxia Mountains in Alanlagda was truly breathtaking! The Danxia is breathtakingly magnificent during the day, and even more mysterious at night under the illumination. I highly recommend this experience; it truly is even more captivating than during the day!
