Gansu Jingtaishan Yellow River Stone Forest - beauty beyond your imagination

When it comes to Gansu, the names of Mogao Caves, Crescent Spring, Jiayuguan, Colorful Zhangye and other famous places are well known to everyone. This time, I took the opportunity to explore another wonder of the world along the foot of the Qilian Mountains on my way back to my hometown. It's rough, wild, and beautiful, keeping you awake at night. This is the Chinese version of Yellowstone, a grand canyon hidden on the Loess Plateau - the Yellow River Stone Forest. Starting from Baiyin City, Gansu Province, it takes an hour by car. It is recommended that you join a one-day tour of the Stone Forest in Baiyin City, which covers both the Stone Forest and the ancient city, safe and convenient. There are few people in the scenic area. Everyone takes a bus at the entrance to go deep into the canyon, and then walks there. It is not recommended to take a donkey cart here, as it is expensive and the donkey will not take you to the top of the canyon, you still have to walk by yourself. Free sightseeing cars are provided in the scenic area, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way from the depths of the canyon. After being washed by the Yellow River, these mountain fossils have turned into strange knife formations. It is said that many suspense adventure films are shot here, which is indeed very mysterious. The beauty of the Yellow River Stone Forest is like a visible force, with the courage to pull the mountains and cover the world. If you come to Gansu, be sure to take the opportunity to experience it here.
