It is worth going. The special Danxia landform can be reached in half an hour's drive from Jingbian County. The Jingbian Wave Valley Rock is called red sandstone, and is academically known as "sandstone". It is between the Palaeozoic Permian and Mesozoic Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. This is the most geologically active, biologically lush and animally massive era in Earth's history.
Really beautiful, especially in the first line of the sky, between 1:30 and 2:30 in the afternoon, the sun can penetrate in, and the photo is particularly filmed. The disadvantage is that the distance is too long and not very friendly to the elderly and children!
To be honest, I have been to all the 5a-level scenic spots in Danxia Landforms in the country, so the scenery in front of me does not shock me, but I am me, others are others, the first time people come, I think it should be worth coming, and parking is very inconvenient, The whole is stopped on the rural ground, lacking unified management and command, but think about northern Shaanxi.
Nice Danxia landform, there are mountains, water and a reed. There are 4 toilets in the scenic area, 3 automatic delivery machines selling drinks, there are many pavilions to sit down and rest in the middle, there are 2 places to eat, but I thought there was nothing to sell before, so I brought water and food, and I didn’t eat in it. I bought a bottle of Coke, 6 yuan.
The Danxia landform landscape of the Wave Valley Scenic Area is located in the arid loess plateau and desert junction in northern China. The landscape is characterized by the wave-shaped Danxia micro-landform, and the Danxia Valley is the most typical. All lament that it is the ghost of nature, this place is known as the "year round of time, the fingerprint of the earth" Jingbian Wave Valley.
When I came to the valley of waves, I saw red stones like mudslides, which were flowing in circles, in circles, in circles, in curves and in curves to the gully. This stone resembles a sandstone, and the weathering is very serious. Walking on top, you will slip the red sand attached to your skin without paying attention. Follow the red stones along the ditch and go down, and you will see large and flat stone walls in the wide area, which are red from top to bottom and are basically the same color. In the narrow, red stones appear to be flowing water, like red mud, flowing toward the bottom of the ditch. On the long mouth opposite the village ditch, the terrain here is relatively flat, those layers of stone like a large number of red cloths covered on the ground after being soaked, layer by layer, roll, plate under the sunset, abnormal red; A red water from loess slowly flows down low-lying areas. Along the trail of red stones, the eyes are suddenly wide, a river valley that looks like a canyon is in front. The red stones all solidified here in flowing water, like a red ice hanging, like a frozen magma, with the trench bottom of a small river and the distant windmills that rotate on the top of the green vegetation constitute a beautiful real picture.
Maybe due to the weather, the wind and sand are relatively large, plus the filter support of various reviews of PS Dafa, it actually doesn't feel so good, but it is indeed a good place to go, the public attractions in the niche cities are also worth the fare. It feels quite good,
