This is a similar landform that has become very popular in China in recent years, known as China's Wave Valley. Formed during the Cretaceous period, 96 million years ago, it is also composed of red sandstone eroded by wind and water. Its lines and textures are strikingly similar to the Wave Valley in the United States, but its overall color is predominantly ochre-red. The scenic area is divided into several zones, such as Flame Danxia, ​​Red Cliff Danxia, ​​and Earth Core Danxia. Wave Valley can be combined with Red Stone Gorge and Zhenbeitai in Yulin, as well as Xiangshawan in Ordos, to create a scenic and historical tour of northern Shaanxi and southern Inner Mongolia. Tour duration: 4 hours or more

Hongshi Gorge is located 3 kilometers north of Yulin, Shaanxi Province. It is named after the red rocks on the mountain. The excavation of Hongshi Gorge can be traced back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It was once the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom. In the Ming Dynasty, Hongshi Gorge became an important military fortress due to its dangerous geographical location and was closely connected with the Great Wall. In the modern revolutionary struggle in northern Shaanxi, Hongshi Gorge played an important role and became one of the important revolutionary activity sites of the CPC Central Committee in northern Shaanxi. The cliffs on both sides of the river valley are covered with cliff carvings and caves. There are more than 160 stone carvings in total, including regular script, cursive script, official script and seal script, which are called "Forest of Steles on the Frontier".

Erlang Mountain in Shenmu, Shaanxi Province: Commonly known as West Mountain, also known as Penholder Mountain and Camelback Mountain, it lies one kilometer west of Shenmu County. The mountain's winding, undulating terrain is majestic and precipitous, with the Kuye and Qin Rivers converging in front and the Great Wall running through behind. Over a hundred temples dot the mountain's ridges. It is a key cultural relic protection site in Shaanxi Province and a national 4A-level tourist attraction, making it a worthwhile visit.

It is worth a visit for history lovers, especially those who love the Great Wall and Ming Dynasty frontier history. The fortress itself is a modern construction, with only a few remaining beacon tunnels and city walls in the far west and east.

Most people might just visit the Corner Tower ruins and leave. My family of three walked around the west city for about an hour. The path was relatively easy to follow (there were some dirt roads), not crowded, and we even saw the archaeologists at work. It was a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed the site and it deepened my understanding of the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
