🇨🇳 Yongdeng, Gansu|Kushui Danxia: The "Lonely Planet" Guide Forgotten by the City [Clapping][Clapping][Clapping] 🚗 Transportation Tips 📍 Address: Xinghua Village, Shuping Town, Yongdeng County, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province Self-drive: 1 hour direct from Lanzhou city center, navigate to "Lanzhou Ink Wash Danxia" for more accuracy Shuttle Bus: Direct buses available from Lanzhou Passenger Transport Center (about one every 2 hours) [ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp] ⏰ Best Visiting Time April to October! Avoid the midday sun Golden shooting time: 16:00-18:00 (the sunset colors are amazing!) [Victory][Victory][Victory] 📸 Two Top Photo Spots 1️⃣ Lake Center Viewing Platform Orange-yellow water surface + isolated small island hill, gives an "Interstellar" vibe 👗 Outfit suggestion: solid color long dress + wide-brimmed hat, the red rock background makes the photos pop! [ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp] 2️⃣ Cliffside Trail Get up close to the red, yellow, blue, and gray rock layers, with billion-year-old deposits right underfoot ⚠️ Note: The soil outside the fence is loose, don’t cross the boundary for photos [Clapping][Clapping][Clapping] 🎫 Practical Information Ticket: 80 RMB (includes sightseeing bus) Opening Hours: Peak season (4.1-10.9) 08:30-18:00 Off season (10.10-3.31) 09:00-17:00 🌪️ Real Experience Tips • No supply stations inside the park, remember to bring enough water and snacks • Must take the sightseeing bus! Viewing spots are very far apart • Drones require prior registration, some areas are no-fly zones • Very windy after October! Recommend wearing a windproof face mask [ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp] 💡 Niche Activity Unlock Try the "Geological Detective" game: Look for dinosaur-era fossil traces in the rock layers! (Hint: pay attention to the ripple patterns in the blue-gray rock layers) [Victory][Victory][Victory]
