You don't have to go to Antelope Canyon to see the Grand Canyon. It's more cost-effective.

Experts call it a "natural wonder of the Loess Plateau", a unique geological wonder of northern Shaanxi. 🤩 Walk through the cracks of nature. It is also known as the "World's Living Danxia, China's Dream Valley"‼️ The canyon is made of red sandstone, which has been cut by wind and sand and eroded by water over millions of years. You can experience different dynamic colors and delicate micro-landscapes in all four seasons. 🥳 📍 Address: Zhangjiagou Village, Xia Siwan Town, Ganquan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province ⌛️ Opening hours: 8:00-16:00 ⏰ Duration: 3-4 hours ✅ Ways to play If you have a car, you can drive from Xi'an to Ganquan Grand Canyon, which takes about 3.5 hours.🧐 Group tours can choose full or half-day tours (with round-trip bus tickets to the scenic area). ✅ Recommended time to visit: 11:00~14:00 (try to go on a sunny day, the light and shadow effects are amazing) ✅ About the tour route and canyon: I arrived at the scenic area around 10:00 am. I went to Butterfly Valley first, and then to Birch Tree Valley when the best time to take photos came.🤠 Heart Valley is not in the scenic area, you need to drive there. Navigate to "Heart-shaped Canyon", and you will see Crescent Valley before entering Heart Valley, both of which are very romantic. ✅ About the scenic area: Ganquan Grand Canyon opens 2-3 valleys every day, and the open valleys change every day. This time I went to Butterfly Valley, Birch Tree Valley, and Heart Valley. You can take a sightseeing bus to visit the scenic area. ✅ Precautions: 1. The sightseeing bus in the scenic area will take mountain roads, so if you are prone to motion sickness, be sure to bring motion sickness medicine. 2. There is a big temperature difference between day and night in northern Shaanxi, so prepare your clothes in advance. Shoes are best non-slip or sneakers. 3. Vehicles are not allowed to enter the canyon area, and the distance between the canyons is relatively far. You can choose a sightseeing bus. 4. The best time to take photos is 11:30-13:55, when you can capture the Tyndall effect. 5. Some valleys can be visited by custom tours.
