China's Antelope Canyon, WOW!
The wave valley. The red sandstone formations, with their intricate patters and layers are a breathtaking sight not to be missed against the wind turbines background. There is a small red river running through it but the red formations glowing above you in the summer sun are more like a sea of magma.
🚕 2 hours drive from Yulin following the G65 south then the G20 west, it is very well signposted from there, the drive itself is beautiful and you will also be able to visit great wall ruins on your way back to the G307 when you leave 🛣🏯. There is car park available.
🎟entrance fee is 90RMB or 140 if you wish to cross the glass bridge (recommended). From there you hike down to the canyon, ensure to follow the signs to all the hidden spots as these are the natural narrow passages that give the beautiful photo opportunities, the paths are very narrow. the total hike takes about 3 hours, it does take a level of fitness but slow and steady does it, lots of stairs. cover up well on sunny days, there are plenty of places to purchase drinks and snacks.
I found the foot (step to heaven) a turtle shell and rhino among the sandstone outlines (see pictures). Can you spot them too when you visit? 😄📸#roadtrip #chinatravel #breathtakingviews #awesomepic #summervacation

Xi'an Vicinity | The Most Unearthly Place in Shaanxi
| The Most Unearthly Place in Shaanxi. Xi'an Vicinity | The Most Unearthly Place in Shaanxi
✌️ If you want to explore the charm of nature,
then Wave Valley is definitely the perfect choice.
This area's Danxia landform is diverse and rare in the country. If it weren't for photographers,
who would have thought that there's a place like 'Mars' here?
⛳ Shaanxi Yulin Jingbian Wave Valley
🚘 About 4 hours drive from Xi'an, there's a newly opened high-speed train from Xi'an Railway Station that takes about 4.5 hours to Jingbian, one trip per day (C984)
🎫 Ticket: 90 RMB per person (half price 45) 3D landscape bridge/elevator ticket sold separately
8:00-18:00
🚃 Tour route:
Entrance glass walkway → Flame Danxia → Viewing platform → Red Cliff Danxia, Earth's Heart Danxia, One-Line-Sky → Dragon Heart Rock exit
👍 Flame Danxia is the place that most resembles Mars,
and is also the most representative of the wave-shaped Danxia landforms.
Here you can roam the seas of waves, and also explore the secrets of Mars. A 360-degree snapshot is a masterpiece. Watching the sunset here is also very suitable!!
Red Cliff Danxia is the second area of the circular tour. This place is simply a summer retreat and a must-visit for fantasy photography.
👐 Here, on one side is the Danxia cliff, and on the other is the loess plateau landform,
giving a strong visual impact.
😂 Earth's Heart Danxia has attractions like One-Line-Sky, Kilometer Gallery, Dragon Heart Rock, and you definitely shouldn't miss them!
🙆 Photo tips:
Definitely wear black or red clothes! They match perfectly with Danxia! Especially Hanfu, it has the beauty of a fantasy film!
Bright green, pink, blue, yellow dopamine colors also stand out.
Western cowboy attire for photos, say you're in the Antelope Canyon in the US, and no one will doubt it.
✌️✌️Tips:
1. The scenic area is very large, especially the roads to Danxia No. 5 and No. 6 are not easy to find, it's recommended to hire a local guide with a car.
2. It's advised to stay within the scenic area, otherwise, you won't have enough time to play.
3. When the weather is good, wait for a sunrise or sunset over the water Danxia. Sunrise on the mountain, sunset by the water's edge.
4. Wear anti-slip breathable shoes, the sandstone is not very hard, and the surrounding soil is soft and slippery. Plus, some areas are undeveloped, and it's dangerous to slip off the cliff.
5. You can fly drones, but avoid times with strong winds, or the consequences can be serious.
6. The colors of Danxia after the rain are the most beautiful, but they are unpredictable.
7. The scenic area has only recently opened, and the surrounding facilities have not yet caught up, accommodations are a distance from the scenic area.

Peaceful border on the frontier, a small river and the cool rock caves
Historical and cultural heritage - the cool rock caves are less than 2 kilometers away from the old site of the small river conference. They were excavated during the Northern Wei Dynasty, with hanging walkways, thousand-year-old rock caves, and cliff carvings. Because there are nine mountain ranges in the distance like nine huge dragons coiling around here, it is called Jiulongkou. According to the inscriptions left by the cool rock caves, the temple was built during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, about more than 1,500 years ago, and it is the oldest cultural holy land in Jingbian. The scenic area is built on the mountain and by the water, and the temple is built on the rock shell, dozens of meters above the ground

REGINALD BOOTH
Folk songs from Northern Shaanxi originated and flourished in the Loess Plateau of Northern Shaanxi
Three thousand years ago, the Book of Songs had a verse: 'The heart is worried, I sing and chant.' Three thousand years later, the 'Xintianyou' singers in Northern Shaanxi said: 'Xintianyou, never stop, if it stops, the poor can't relieve their worries.' The word 'worry' witnesses why Chinese folk songs have been passed down from generation to generation.
The collection of folk songs from Northern Shaanxi is very rich. Since they were discovered by musicians from 'Lu Yi' in Yan'an from all over the country in 1938, the recording and sorting activities have never stopped for eighty years. The number of folk songs recorded at different times ranges from dozens to hundreds, from hundreds to thousands, and even more than ten thousand. Even so, new folk songs from Northern Shaanxi will always come out of the singers' mouths at any time, accumulating over time, and becoming a monument that carries and treasures the cultural memory of the people of Northern Shaanxi.
People in Northern Shaanxi are naturally bold, optimistic and humorous. They have never stopped their creation and singing because of the barren land, blocked transportation, and hard life. They sing whatever they see and think, everywhere. They are good at expressing various feelings in production labor, festival temple fairs, suffering, anger, love, and marriage through folk songs, and they sing freely and finally are known as an encyclopedia revealing the society, history, culture, folk beliefs, and human affairs of the Loess Plateau in Northern Shaanxi.
'The world has great beauty but does not speak'! The 'great beauty' of folk songs from Northern Shaanxi is in the poetic lyrics, in the heart-touching tunes. It is bold and simple, rich and deep. In the great changes of the 20th century, folk songs from Northern Shaanxi have experienced different periods of traditional folk songs, revolutionary historical folk songs, and new traditional folk songs. Each period has left its own classic songs, and each classic is a deeply touching historical narrative.
The Northern Shaanxi Folk Song Museum officially opened to the public in 2018. The museum integrates the collection, display, performance, research, and dissemination of folk songs from Northern Shaanxi. It covers a wide area and has rich exhibition areas. Here you can feel the unique charm of folk songs from Northern Shaanxi!
