Travel guide to Longzhou Langgu, Jingbian, Shaanxi

The dragon boat rattle in Jingbian, Shaanxi Province is a typical basin canyon, which is very similar to the trough in Arizona, USA. The rock in the trough is called red sandstone, which is mainly red. The recommended areas are Shuidanxia District, Flame Danxia District and Geocentric Danxia District.

Introduction of scenic spots

Langgu Scenic Area is located in Longzhou Town, 22 kilometers southeast of Jingbian County, Shaanxi Province. It is a typical basin canyon, surrounded by red rocks and green waters. Fiona Fang is covered with 100 km of red sandstone, which is very similar to the Arizona trough. There is a white line between the reds in Arizona Valley and the reds in Jingbian Valley.

The rock in the trough is called red sandstone, academically called "soft rock" and geologically called Danxia landform, which is named because the grain of sandstone is like waves. Most of the red sandstone in Longzhou is covered with thick loess. After tens of millions of years of strong winds and strong seasonal rainstorms on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, the Hongshan block is gradually exposed and carved into various shapes by nature. The scenic spot is very large, which is divided into three parts: Shuidanxia District, Flame Danxia District and Central Danxia District. The road signs are not clear, but only the signs of "Shuidan Gorge" and "Huodan Gorge", so you need to find your own way.

Shuidanxia district

This area is the most recommended, with relatively few tourists. Next to the water, the photos are layered and the color is good, which is very suitable for flying drones. Come and park your car in the parking lot. Ten yuan each time. If you have any questions, ask the villagers who collect money. You can see Longan Spring, Crocodile Lake and other scenic spots here, and the tour time takes about 1 to 2 hours.

Flame Danxia area

There are three observation decks, and there are many people. I strongly recommend "Jiuqu Yellow River", which is the farthest place. Its landform fits the name of "Langgu" very well and is very attractive. There is gravel at the foot of the cliff. Be safe. Tour time: about 1 hour.

Danxia district, geocentric

The largest tourist area and the most concentrated tourists. There are three or four parking spots, all connected by walking plank roads. You can drive as far as Ximentai City and Yanjiazhai, and you can walk back. The plank road here has not been repaired, and the steep dirt road is difficult to walk, which is not suitable for the elderly and children. It is suggested to stop at Longhuitou Scenic Area and take the plank road for sightseeing. This part of the plank road has large slope, long distance, large energy consumption, humanized steps and easy slipping. The trip will take about two hours.

Among them, there will be a cruise ship on the water near Yanjiazhai along the plank road. When the dock is repaired, turn left at the bottom. Turning right is the so-called first-line sky. The entrance is very narrow, and there may be falling rocks in the rainy season, so it is not safe to enter. This part is characterized by walking at the bottom of the canyon, and the scenery is not as good as Danxia on the water.

Shooting suggestion

It is best to have a telephoto lens to shoot the details and people of Danxia landform. If you have a drone, you must take it with you. The terrain here is open and there are no obstacles. Perfect for flying. If there is sunshine on the day of the trip, the color will be very beautiful.

residence

It is recommended to live in Jingbian county, with good accommodation conditions, all of which are concentrated in the center of the county. It's too late to get there. 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 by half an hour's drive. At 6: 30 in the county seat, there are not many tourists driving by car. At present, there are some farmhouses near Danxia Langgu Scenic Area in Longzhou. Visual inspection conditions are general, there is a reception tour group, and a tourist bus is parked at the door.
