How to Get Around Ink Wash Danxia Most Smoothly (80 Ticket Version)

Another day of hiking, today we’re doing a loop around Ink Wash Danxia, luckily no backtracking. 1. Upon entering the scenic area, take the shuttle bus① red route to the drop-off point, then walk to the distribution area and take the free electric shuttle on the north line. 2. Be sure to take the north line② orange route, which goes directly to the summit at an elevation of 1970 meters. 3. After that, it’s the hiking route③ green route section, all on boardwalks. Mostly downhill with stunning scenery, the entire route is 3.5 kilometers. If coming from the west line, it’s likely to be mostly stairs. 4. At the end of the hike, you’ll see the T-Rex🦖 (yes, just like that), then you can take the free electric sightseeing car④ orange route (actually costs money when buying tickets), which passes by attractions. The driver will remind you to consider your stamina for sightseeing; you can stroll around the platform (when we came on 11/26, the surrounding trails were not open), then just take the sightseeing electric shuttle. 5. The gentle slope section⑤ green route passes by the cable car, which you can try if interested (I remember it’s 60 per person). 6. Walk back to the shuttle bus distribution area and take the shuttle bus① red route (the shuttle bus runs round trip) back to the main gate, and you’re done. PS: Off-season, with a plane ticket to Lanzhou within a week or a train ticket, Danxia scenic area tickets are half price!!! Original price 80, now 40 + 20 (electric shuttle) totaling 60.
