【Travel to the Northwest】Danxia is so beautiful

Zhangye was almost cut off by me, so there were only two cities left.

But in the end, because I was looking forward to the colorful Danxia very much, I still kept it.

We took the train to Zhangye and went directly to Danxia to check in. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we checked in.

Then we went to have lunch, went back to the hotel to rest, and entered Danxia at around six o'clock.

Leave the park at nine o'clock and have dinner.

Originally, the advantage of living near the scenic spot was that I could watch the sunrise the next morning.

I think you should tell the staff.

Then get it stamped at the hotel

You can enter the park to watch the sunrise the next morning.

After I came out, I couldn't find the place.

It's probably best to just tell the staff when you enter the park and forget it.

It is also difficult to get up early for our leisure travel.

As a result, it was overcast when I went out around eight o'clock the next day.

It's cloudy in the distance. Not only is there no sun, there's no sunshine either.

Okay, with this posture, even if you get up early, you won't be able to see the sunrise.

God is not good at it~~

Hahahaha I’ll be really happy if I sleep more

The only scenic spot in this place is Colorful Danxia, ​​so this introduction only has four parts.

1Hotel transportation

2 Halal Yiqingge Restaurant

3 Colorful Danxia

4 Longquan Villa Sichuan Restaurant

Start now~~

Danxia International Photography Hotel is located near the north gate, just 5 to 10 minutes' walk from the scenic spot.

Yu Bo liked this hotel very much when I first booked it. I highly recommend it.

Because he looks like a wealthy man from the Middle East

In fact, that's it

Many of the hotels there are single-family buildings.

But judging from the online software

This hotel is indeed one of the best rated hotels in the area.

There are some B&Bs nearby that are probably a bit worse.

The interior of the hotel is no better than the one in Dunhuang

There are even a few holes in the ceiling

There is breakfast on the first floor of the hotel

But there was no waiter when I went there. . Nothing

Finally, we had breakfast at the door

As for transportation, I checked that there is a scenic shuttle bus from Zhangye West to Danxia.

15 or 20 per person on the bus?

But there are four of us, so it’s convenient to take a drip. It only costs 100 yuan for a car.

More than 40 minutes drive

There are many unlicensed car drivers in Zhangyexi, and the price is 100

I originally wanted Didi to be more formal and call it Didi, which is 105

As a result, the driver got anxious and said he would go for 90 too.

I don’t like black cars, I insist on calling them Didi

As soon as I saw someone taking the order, I gave him a call.

Unexpectedly, the phone of the black driver rang.

Hi, it’s you~~ I have Didi on in my car

Damn, I didn’t expect this. This is so fucking embarrassing.

So it seems that drivers generally have no problem recruiting customers. .

I left my phone number and asked the driver to pick me up when I returned to the train station.

100 yuan back to the city

What’s more convenient than the bus is that you don’t have to pay attention to the time, you can go anytime and anywhere, and it’s a small car, so it doesn’t cost much for four people in a car.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Danxia, ​​and everyone was very hungry.

There are many restaurants around, mainly northwest cuisine

There are also Sichuan cuisine, Northeastern cuisine, etc.

Many restaurants have a variety of dishes on their menus

I found a store with good reviews.

Although it is not a meal time and it is not the peak season, there are still some people eating in the store

This is probably why online reviews and online group meals are so good

It’s hard to survive in this era without doing this kind of thing

Especially those near scenic spots making money from tourists

There have been a lot fewer tourists due to the epidemic. With so many restaurants here, many of them may be in trouble.

This restaurant near the scenic spot ranks second among the northwest cuisine in Zhangye city in the review list, but it can still be maintained.

The service in this store is very good

As soon as you enter the door, you will be given a box of watermelon and then tea and water.

When I finally left, I asked for reviews, looking forward to good reviews.

I ordered a set meal for 4 people for 198 yuan

To be fair, the price is really not expensive

If you go out for a meal on a regular basis, it’s easily 50 per person anywhere.

Good food at KFC costs this price

Fish-flavored shredded pork, the meat doesn’t look like much, but the whole plate is big, and the taste is still good

The stir-fried lettuce and cucumber with garlic paste are both good and very refreshing.

Lettuce is the most photographed vegetable here.

I didn’t drink the seaweed soup, but it’s said to be good. It’s simple and doesn’t taste too bad.

Rubbed fish noodles are the specialty staple food here. They are made of small fish one by one. The noodles are white and tasteless.

But because it’s the standard rice, it’s normal to have no taste.

The waiter specifically told us that it was fried pork slices and served on top.

Rubbing fish is probably just like this. The picture comes from the Internet.

Finally, please send out large items

1.5 pounds of beef special fried pork slices

This thing is really big and very solid. It reminds me of a large plate of chicken.

The seasoning is also good, salty and slightly spicy.

Spread it with a spoon, pour the soup on the fish, and then eat

I didn't finish the fish, so I ate half a bowl, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish the food.

It is indeed a cheap and good meal

Not broken down

If there is one, it’s Yu Bo’s single-order Xinjiang grilled naan

again !

yes !

Creampie!

I still don’t know why Yu Bo loves eating cakes so much

This cake is still hung up and hammered by the roasted whole lamb cake.

And hard

Call it a cookie

A scenic spot that I am looking forward to very much

It is said that God knocked over the paint tray

73 yuan ticket includes light transportation

There are four points in order from the north gate, Colorful Fairy Terrace 2, Colorful Cloud Sea Terrace 1, Colorful Jinxiu Terrace 5, Colorful Xia Terrace 4

In terms of scenery, it’s not as good as it looks online.

But obviously many pictures on the Internet have artificially enhanced color contrast.

When we arrived at the real Danxia, ​​although it was not that bright

But there are also distinct layers of color

Internet pictures with slightly fake color tones＞Looked at with my own eyes＞Photo taken by myself

But no matter what, you still have to go and see it on the spot.

There are big scallops, Yugu tassels, and the turtle Wentian

It’s still worth taking photos and checking in.

Learn to fake a professional smile

In addition to the heavy traffic between the observation decks, there are also small paths that many people take.

I came in late this time, so I took the bus.

Stay at each spot for about half an hour

Take pictures

look at the scenery

To the last point, the best viewing point

Look at the sunset. It’s actually a bit obscured by clouds today.

But in the end I managed to take some nice sunset photos.

There is a hot air balloon at the last point, which costs 200 yuan a time.

The young man said that since he saw a mother and daughter having an accident while riding in a hot air balloon,

The rope broke, flying in the sky and finally died.

I don’t want to sit on this thing anymore

My girlfriend is so worry-free,

Save money

You can save 40 cans of yogurt at once

Can feed her for 5 days

This shop is right next to the Muslim Yiqing Pavilion

It also has a place to stay, with guest rooms

On the travel map, you can only find accommodation at Longquan Villa located nearby.

That’s what I marked as 4, but you can tell from the picture that they are right next to each other.

Let me first make an overall evaluation of this store.

Not recommended, if you come, find another hotel

The reason not to recommend is not the price, the price is more affordable than at noon

Portion size is OK

It’s just that the food tastes bad

The food was so bad that I didn’t even take a photo, it just didn’t look right.

Four people ordered a meal for 4-6 people and it only cost 168

6 dishes

Green vegetable and tofu soup. Stir-fried seasonal vegetables. No problem.

The cauliflower in the dry pot is fine except that some of the sauce is not in the cauliflower.

After all, it’s quite salty

The scrambled eggs with shallots and scallions are very fragrant and I finished them quickly.

The problem is that the two meat dishes collapsed

First, the sweet and sour pork loin

The ground looks like ketchup

It's not fragrant overall, and the meat doesn't taste very good either.

It's meat with a sweet taste

Speaking of this, I think of the sugar steaks that poured onto Grandma Bridge.

It’s really my favorite sugar steak so far.

Friends from Shengzhou can try it

Then the most disastrous thing came

Large Plate of Chicken

A dull group

no taste

No thickening either

When cooking chicken yourself, you have to focus on the flavor

Especially the large plate of chicken with wide noodles underneath

The chicken has no taste

Not to mention face

Although it’s strange to order Northeastern food in a Sichuan restaurant

But after all, it is included in the Meituan package

How can I still attract customers with my shoulder bag like this?

Is this a 5.0 rating?

Anyone else give good reviews for Da Pan Chicken? ? ?

The waiter asked if it was delicious.

Let me tell you straight, this chicken dish is very bland

There’s no need to explain what I made before. It was salty and I was complained about. Maybe it’s a bit lighter today.

If you can't master this as a chef, you might as well stop working.

There are many attractions in Zhangye

It’s still worth it if you want to take the Grand Ring Road in the future

Visiting Dunhuang and Zhangye in advance this time will not affect future visits to the old places.

Although the viewing angle of Colorful Danxia is not as fun as Mingsha Mountain

But you can still see the scenery

After all, the 73 ticket is quite worth it including Jingjiao.

You can spend a lot of time playing at the four observation decks

And it has just been included in the UNESCO Global Geopark

It is also a world cultural heritage

Food speaking

There are many restaurants near the scenic area

Mostly home-cooked dishes, with a mix of dishes from all over the world

Many stores are working hard to welcome customers during this off-season in order to survive.

Stir-fried meat slices and rubbed fish are more distinctive

I don’t have much other impression

There may be some stir-fried crackers, stir-fried puddings, beef rice and so on in the city.

It tastes delicious just by looking at it.

Although I didn’t watch the sunrise

But it’s not a pity

Have fun experiences

and nice scenery

This day was still enjoyable

After all, every minute with the right person is not a waste.

That’s it for the scenic spots, and the next step is to go into the city to eat.

Finally, let me share Yu Bo’s travel notes
