Introduction to the scenic spot 1. Wave valley scenic spot
Longzhou Town, located 22 kilometers southeast of Jingbian County, Shaanxi Province, is a typical basin-type canyon surrounded by red rocks and green water. Fiona Fang is covered with 100 km of red sandstone, which is very similar to Wave Valley in Arizona.
There is a white line between the reds of Arizona Langgu, while the reds of Jingbian Langgu are dominant.
The rocks in the Wave Valley are called red sandstone, academically called "soft sandstone" and geologically called Danxia landform, hence the name, because sandstone particles are like waves. Most of the red sandstone in Longzhou is covered with thick loess.
Tens of millions of years of strong winds and seasonal rainstorms washed away the loess plateau in northern Shaanxi, and red mountain blocks gradually emerged and were "carved" into various shapes by nature.
Jingbian county is more than 20 kilometers away from the scenic spot, about half an hour's drive. There are many signboards near Longzhou Town, suggesting that the scenic spot will be temporarily closed to the public on June 20 18 due to construction, but the pro-test can be carried out normally without admission. Parking lots, toilets and other supporting facilities in the scenic area are not complete enough and are under construction. The conditions are not very good. Please get ready for your recent visit.
The scenic area is large, which is divided into three parts: water Danxia area, flame Danxia area and geocentric Danxia area. The road signs are not clear, only the signs of "Water Danxia Area" and "Flame Danxia Area", so you need to find your own way. According to local people, there are five scenic spots in the whole scenic spot, namely 1, No.2, No.3, No.4 and No.5. You can drive from 1 to No.4, and you need to spend around 200 yuan on No.5 to ask local people to lead the way. The following picture is a schematic diagram of the scenic spots taken on the spot, and you can clearly see the distribution of the scenic spots for your reference.
Tips:
I asked the front desk of the hotel in Jingbian County, saying that the scenic spot was closed and could not be visited, and the information on the Internet was not very accurate and detailed, so I searched the accommodation phone number next to the scenic spot and asked directly, giving an accurate answer. The scenic spot can still be visited. In many similar situations in China, this method can be used to understand the specific situation of scenic spots.
2. Shuidanxia District
This area is most recommended. There are relatively few tourists, there is water next to them, and the photos are layered and colorful, which is very suitable for flying drones. Drive past and park in the parking lot every time 10 yuan. If you have any questions, just ask the villagers who collect the money. Here you can see some scenic spots such as Longan Spring and Crocodile Lake, and the tour time is about 1 to 2 hours.
Tips:
At present, there is no fence in this area, so you can go directly to sandstone. Please make a civilized tour, and don't carve the words "this tour" on the rock wall. The good natural landscape was destroyed in this way. In the long run, Danxia landform can only be viewed from a distance, not from a close distance.
3. Flame Danxia District
There are three observation decks, and there are many people. It is strongly recommended that "Jiuqu Yellow River" is the farthest place, and the landform is very consistent with the name of "Langgu". There is gravel at the foot near the cliff, which is very slippery. Be safe. Tour time: 1 hour or so.
4. Danxia area in the center of the earth
The tourist area is the largest and the tourists are the most concentrated. There are three or four parking spots, all of which are connected by walkways. You can drive to Ximentai City and Yanjiazhai, or walk back to visit. The plank road here has not been repaired, and the steep slope of the dirt road is not suitable for the elderly and children. It is suggested that the car stop at Longhuitou Scenic Area and take the plank road for sightseeing. This part of the plank road has a large slope, a long distance, more energy consumption, dehumanized steps and easy to slip. The tour takes about 2 hours.
Among them, along the plank road, there will be a cruise ship near Yanjiazhai and turn left at the bottom. After repairing the pier, turning right is the so-called first-line sky. You see, the entrance is very narrow, and there may be falling rocks in the rainy season, so it is not safe to go in. This part is characterized by walking at the bottom of the canyon, and the scenery is not as good as Danxia on the water.
Other 1. Shooting suggestion
It's best to have a telephoto lens to shoot the details of Danxia landform and people. If there is a drone, you must carry it with you. The terrain here is open and there are no obstacles, which is very suitable for flying. If there is sunshine on the day of travel, the color will be very beautiful.
2. Accommodation situation
It is recommended to stay in Jingbian County. Accommodation conditions are relatively good, and they are all concentrated in the center of the county. It's too late to find them now. The price of a standard room is about 100-200 per night, which is relatively clean and tidy.
Jingbian County is more than 20 kilometers away from Longzhou Danxia Langgu Scenic Area, which can be reached in half an hour by car. At 6: 30, after breakfast in the county, the number of tourists has not increased. At present, there are some farmhouses around Danxia Langgu Scenic Area in Longzhou. The visual conditions are general, there is a reception tour, and a tourist bus is parked at the door.
Recommended food
Pang Xueqin Brothers Mutton Noodles in Jingbian County is highly recommended! You can choose noodles or noodles, there is a layer of mutton on the noodles! High-quality mutton noodles, big bowl of 37 yuan, small bowl of 34 yuan, mutton is completely delicious, super fragrant!
Tips:
Langgu is currently an undeveloped scenic spot under construction, with imperfect supporting facilities and backward management level. After the completion of the project, tickets for scenic spots will be collected uniformly, so private cars may not be allowed to enter, and it will be more troublesome to visit the scenic spot of car ferry. Those who are interested in Danxia landform can come as soon as possible without charging tickets, and the scenery is still worthwhile. The surrounding public transportation is inconvenient, so it is recommended to go by car.
