Weather forecast in Yanchuan, northern Shaanxi

When it comes to troughs and antelope valleys, your first impression may be the wonders of the western United States.

But it's not easy to go to America to see such scenery ~

First, you need to have enough money and time. After all, it takes 15 and 16 hours to fly. Secondly, you need to have good physical fitness. After all, not everyone can insist on walking for at least 6 hours. Last but not least, you must be lucky enough to get 20% tickets, otherwise everything will be in vain.

However, China has such a place with the same scenery as the western United States. You can see it without waiting in line! What a coincidence, I finally have a chance to punch in here ~

Let me talk about the itinerary of this trip first:

Day 1: Xi 'an-Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon

The next day: Yan 'an-Zaoyuan-Yang Jialing Revolutionary Site-Dingbian Colorful Salt Lake-lived in Langgu.

The third day: the trough-Shuidanxia-Yanjiazhai-lived in the trough.

Day 4: Sunset at the trough-Gankun Bay-Qingshui Bay

Day 5: Sunrise in Gankun Bay-Hukou Waterfall-Xi 'an

If you want to see the trough, Jingbian is definitely a good place to save money on air tickets.

The scenic spot is now in a semi-management state, and the government is implementing the construction. Getting into the scenic spot smoothly needs the help of local people. There are five scenic spots in the whole scenic spot, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 1-4 can be visited. No.5 is closed now. You have to pay 200 yuan/someone to lead the locals.

We found the boss who lived in the hotel and led us in. First I went to Danxia District, Longzhou, 1 District. The main places to visit are: at first sight, Yanjiazhai, and Dragon Looking Back. Today I also gave such a romantic thing as watching the sunrise for the first time in my life. After the tour, at about 9 o'clock, because the sun is too strong, we happily decided to rest in the hotel. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we set out to visit Shuidanxia and Flame Danxia areas.

Accommodation:

In the valley, we stayed at Baoxiang Hotel for two nights. The boss was very enthusiastic and took us to various scenic spots. Moreover, the vegetables in the hotel meals are all picked in the garden, which is truly natural and pollution-free.

It should be pointed out that:

1, water Danxia has two areas; Flame Danxia is very suitable for shooting sunsets. The scenic spot has not been fully developed, and the locals will come up to charge to lead the way.

2. The landform here is very peculiar and fragile, which will be easily destroyed. I hope everyone can cherish and care after seeing the perfect scenery.

Near the Jingbian trough, there is another peculiar landform, Yucha Grand Canyon, which is a big crack separated from the Loess Plateau. After hundreds of years of rain erosion, this canyon has gradually formed, which is very similar to the Antelope Canyon in the United States.

Before entering the canyon scenic spot, you must first buy a ticket and transfer to the CMB in the scenic spot to enter. It is about 20 kilometers from the tourist center to Huashugou, and it takes about 30 minutes to drive to the scenic spot. Four other canyons (from far to near, Huabaocha Canyon, Longbagou Canyon, Mudangou Canyon and Fenghuanggou Canyon) were closed to the public recently due to road construction.

Coordinates:

Yucha Village, Ganquan County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province

Accommodation:

Staying at Qingquan Hotel at night looks very atmospheric. There are places to eat around the hotel, and there are some shops selling fruit. Friends who eat must try Ganquan's special Guo Qiang noodles, which are delicious ~

Tips: friends who have a bad sleep suggest that the hotel try to arrange in a nearby room.

In addition to these two high-value attractions comparable to the United States, there are many beautiful scenery along the way worth looking forward to ~

1, S-shaped bend-Gankun Bay

The Yellow River bends ninety-nine, and the most beautiful is Gankun Bay!

Gankun Bay Scenic Area is very large, covering tens of square kilometers, and the distance between various scenic spots is relatively far. There is a scenic spot where you can take a bus. If there are many people, you still have to take the bus in the scenic spot. It is basically impossible to visit these scenic spots on foot. Fortunately, cars with 7 seats or less in the scenic spot can drive directly into the scenic spot, so we will always drive our own cars to play.

There are three main places to play in Gankun Bay: Huifengzhai, Qingshui Bay and Gankun Bay.

(1) Huifengzhai is one of the rare ancient defense projects in China, and it is also a hiding place for the ancestors in this area to avoid the disasters of soldiers and bandits. Surrounded by lakes, the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. To reach the stockade, you need to take a long plank road, winding 600 meters. Of course, the scenic spot has carefully designed another direct road: the ladder, which you can choose. We all gave up the idea of entering the village in unison, because we had to go back the same way when we arrived at HSBC Village. We just took photos on the observation deck.

(2) Clear Water Bay: There is a cableway from Huifengzhai to Clear Water Bay, 40 for one way and 70 for round trip. Because we drove our own car, we didn't take the cableway. It takes about 20 minutes by car. We planned to wait for the sunset in Clear Water Bay, but it was windy and there was no sun. After taking photos, we went to Gankun Bay.

(3) Gankun Bay: The most shocking point is that the Yellow River has turned an S-shaped bend here, which was rated as one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Canyon in China" by China Geography magazine, and it is a natural Tai Chi map. The weather forecast says it will rain the next morning. With the idea of giving it a try, I got up early to shoot the sunrise in Gankun Bay. I didn't expect it to rain, so I took a spectacular picture.

About accommodation:

This evening, we stayed in the online celebrity hotel in Gankun Bay Scenic Area, and lived in the cave experience room, which was very touching. The hotel also has three museums, namely Red Collection Museum, Coin Museum and Jade Museum. Each museum charges 10 yuan/person, which is still worth seeing. In the hotel, I ate a special food-hemp soup rice, which is similar to miscellaneous grains porridge with noodles. The unexpected delicious food won the unanimous praise of all of us.

2. Hukou Waterfall in primary school textbooks

Hukou Waterfall is located in Yanchuan County, Yan 'an City. It takes about 4 hours to cross Hukou Waterfall from Gankun Bay, and there is no high speed in the whole journey. At present, during the epidemic, only the South Visitor Center has been opened in the scenic spot. After arriving at the tourist center, you need to take the scenic bus to the scenic ticket office, which takes about 20 minutes. The North Tourist Center will be closer.

Hukou Waterfall can be shot at two points, one is the main waterfall and the other is the side waterfall, which is relatively small.

The main waterfall gives a shocking feeling. Standing in front of it, you will feel the smallness of people. According to my peers, Hukou Waterfall is much clearer now than before. I don't know if the rainy season has not yet arrived, or if the Yellow River regulation has achieved results. Halfway through the game, it suddenly rained heavily. Luckily, we didn't get wet. It's a pity that we hurried out of the scenic spot to avoid the rain and didn't see the spectacular waterfall after the rain. I hope I can have another chance next time and come back in the most spectacular rainy season.

3, the girl's eye shadow tray-Dingbian colorful salt lake

Want to see the salt lake, don't go to Chaka Salt Lake again! Taking a photo in Chaka Salt Lake can easily become a group photo. I want to pose, and when my arm reaches out, I meet someone else ~

In fact, there is also a Millennium Salt Lake in Dingbian, northern Shaanxi, and tickets are free.

Dingbian Saline Lake group is located in the north of Dingbian County, Shaanxi Province, bordering Yanchi County of Ningxia in the west and Eqian Banner of Inner Mongolia in the north. It is the main salt-producing area in northwest China and the only salt-producing base in Shaanxi Province.

Different from Chaka Salt Lake, the salt lake here is colorful because of algae and minerals. It's a pity that I didn't see the most beautiful scene of the salt lake in the afterglow of the sunset, but I can already see the pale pink salt lake, and I can see the changes of the salt lake at the most beautiful time.

The key meeting of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the "Seventh National Congress" and the vigorous mass production movement ... all started here, and the old site where the revolutionary ancestors once lived and worked was well preserved, which made us deeply feel the greatness of the revolutionaries.

1, you must pay attention to sun protection, because the sunshine here is longer in summer, with sunrise at 5: 30 in the morning and sunset around 8: 00 in the evening. If you don't do a good job of sun protection, it is likely to get dark ~

There is a big temperature difference between day and night here, so it is recommended to bring a thick coat that is convenient to put on and take off.

3. Northwest China is rich in resources and products, and the distance between scenic spots is relatively long. You may not be able to eat on time, or the weather is too hot to have an appetite. It is recommended to bring some snacks and fruits to replenish energy at any time.

4. Because some scenic spots have not been fully developed, the surrounding supporting construction is still relatively backward, and the accommodation conditions will be relatively poor, but for the sake of beautiful scenery, a small physical sacrifice can still be done.

5. Because there are many outdoor attractions, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes suitable for feet, mainly sports shoes.
