Breathtaking view at Zhangye’s Grand Canyon

When visiting Zhangye, the Pingshanhu Grand Canyon is a must! The canyon is absolutely stunning! It does get very hot and if you’re there on a sunny day, bring sunscreen!! 📍How to get there: I hired a driver and I suggest you do the same. It is located quite far from Zhangye city and I’m not sure if you can take a bus from the city. ⏰Recommended time: About 3.5-4.5 hours. There are a lot of stairs, depending on how fit you are, going up the stairs when leaving the canyon could potentially take you about 45mins. *Bring A LOT of water and some snacks! While exploring the site, I came across only 1 little shop about 1.5 hours into the hike. The shop wasn’t selling any food and the drinks weren’t cold. When reaching observation deck 4, there’s another shop selling some snacks and drinks but you reach that shop only at the end of your hike. #passionpassport #gansu #canyon #naturalwonders #china #summervacation #zhangye
