A summer self-driving tour in Gansu always includes a visit to the Sumugou Grand Canyon

This is a beautiful western landscape painting. The Sumugou Grand Canyon in Lintao, Gansu, is a typical karst and Danxia landform. This canyon, which is 27.5 kilometers long, features mountains thousands of feet high with a reddish hue, and a scenery where the triple-layered landscape winds along a single path. Driving on this road, the beauty of its 'color as rich as rouge, bright as the morning clouds' makes one marvel at the power of nature. 📍Address: Hongqi Township, Lintao County, Gansu Province, Shijia Kiln Village 🚘Route: Self-driving—Lanzhou—Hutan Township—Shijia Kiln Village—Hongqi Township (about 1 hour to reach) ❤️Scenic Area: Vehicles can drive in, with a 27.5-kilometer journey to witness the vicissitudes of millions of years of wind and rain, and to see the magical creations of nature. 👉Features: Self-driving, hiking, photography; Sumugou Grand Canyon, a natural masterpiece, a great place to visit around Lanzhou. ❤️Sightseeing: 1. From a distance, you can see the forest of peaks on both sides of the river, and the precipitous cliffs, forming a vast Danxia canyon. 2. The Danxia mountains, with their clear boundaries between yellow and reddish-brown, appear particularly bold and magnificent. 3. Desert plants such as camel thorn and sea buckthorn silently testify to the tenacious vitality of nature. Lintao·Dingxi
