Travels around Qinggan | Lanzhou Zhangye Colorful Danxia

In autumn, I still couldn’t forget the vast northwest scenery of my motherland, so I decided to walk the Qinghai Lake Great Loop a few days after the National Day holiday. Maybe as I get older, I start to record some food, travel notes, and trivial things. When I recall them later, I can also remember my mood at that time.

I changed my itinerary temporarily, which resulted in a long transfer time at Jinan Airport, so I opened Ele.me and found that I could actually order takeout. With my new skill GET, I ordered two beef dumplings, which tasted really good.

When I arrived in Lanzhou, the first thing I did was to have a meal of Northwest Lamb BBQ. Roast lamb, roasted lamb tripe, spicy lamb trotters, and sweet and sour apricot skin water. I had a full meal and prepared for the hard work ahead. Make preparations.

Taking the bus from Lanzhou to Zhangye, I spent most of the time in the car. I had to admit the vastness of the northwest of my country. Fortunately, I arrived at Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park before the sun went down. The scenic spot was really crowded, and there was a long queue to sit in it. I hurriedly took pictures on the scenic bus, and took advantage of my free time at the hotel in the evening to edit the following pictures.

There are 4 viewing platforms in the scenic area, among which Colorful Cloud Terrace No. 4 is recognized as the most beautiful and is most suitable for viewing at sunset, where you can see the landscape of Daoshan Mountain and Sea of ​​Fire. There are landscapes such as the Red Cliff Great Wall and the Silk Road.

The journey is tiring, so I will mainly post pictures, and I will add details later in my travel notes.

Zhangye, the "Xiliang Prefecture" in history, wrote a poem:

Far up the Yellow River among the white clouds, there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain.
Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.
