a bit depressing. it seems like an effort was made to make it a tourist destination with a welcoming walkway and some tourist sign posts, but it lacked character and it is very difficult to get public transport to the area.

Such a great way of seeing China from a different perspective.  Beautiful little village surrounded by forest.

The ticket price of 50RMB at the entrance is too expensive. it is fun for a half hour or so to play but it&#39;s a bit run down and dirty. the upside down house had litter in it and some of the broken items have not been repaired. I can&#39;t imagine staying there in the accommodation. the nearby ancient village is also not worth staying very long. and it is hard to get taxis.

There are accommodation and dining in the Qiyu Valley. The restaurant where you eat has its own small fried and Taobao. The price is not expensive. The photo effect in the scenic area is very good, and the ants 🐜 are very large.

Absolutely beautiful waterfalls. The waterfalls alone make it worthwhile.Besides the ladies at the ticket office who were a bit impatient, the rest of the staff at the scenic area were friendly and helpful.there are two or three different ticket options focusing on different scenic spots in the area. the 150RMB ticket option includes the waterfalls and Buddha.you are taken on a bus (leaves about every 10min)  to near the top of the mountain. then you follow a staircase and walkway along the river and a cross several bridges to view all the waterfalls and three hidden pools. there are information boards about the scenic spots all along the way in English Chinese and Korean.lots of bathrooms, picnic spots and rubbish bins for your convenience. even though it was overcast and drizzling some of the time, it meant that there was almost no one around us at any time. we saw about 4 other groups of tourists the entire time. completely serene and absolutely beautiful.after about 2800m walk down the river, you then get to the monorail where you have to buy a ticket for 50RMB per adult and 25RMB per child. the ticket includesthe cableway and monorail. it leaves fairly regularly and we only waited about 10min.the monorail takes you partway back up a different part of the mountain. you then walk up a few stairs, about 300m to the cable car...the same ticket is used for the cable car as for the monorail.at the top is another vantage point, a small convenience shop and about a 700m walk to the laughing Buddha. you can&#39;t get lost...it&#39;s basically a one way trip so don&#39;t worry. the temple and bottom of the Buddha you enter with your original150RMB ticket but an extra 20RMB ticket is required to go right up to the Buddha.then it&#39;s a bus ride back to the bottom and that&#39;s it.

The scope of the scenic spot is very large. If the attractions in the joint ticket want to play back, it is recommended to set aside two days. We only played a few points this time, because many points in a hurry have given up, and it is a bit uneconomical to buy a joint ticket.

It is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The colours can not be properly captured by a phones camera and it is also a reminder to just put the phone away for a moment and just enjoy the view.there are two ticket types, the regular ticket takes you to 4 platforms. the &#39;in depth&#39; ticket takes you to other sites and walkways as well. it&#39;s 368RMB pp (min 3 people) but I think it&#39;s worth it. we went early 5:30am and it was quiet,no crowds, and not too hot.our guide Falun was also very sweet and especially came in early so that we could have an English speaking guide. She also took special care of our daughter, making sure she was comfortable.the bus driver was also patient and friendly.it really is worth it and actively being developed so get there before it becomes too commercialized. I also recommend the Yugur grassland which isn&#39;t about 20min drive from the geopark

Choose off-season travel, avoid the crowds and enjoy the beautiful scenery freely. The Danxia landform in Zhangye in the northwest is magical and colorful. Next time I will come with my family, it is a good place. I recommend everyone to play.
