Exploring Gansu by self-driving in summer, it turns out that Tianzhu has a rich Danxia landform

Gansu Province's Tianzhu County is located on the northeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where towering snow mountains and continuous grasslands are standard features. At the same time, it is also at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor. We drove deep into Tianzhu County's Paradise Town in the summer to explore and found that the Danxia landform here is also very rich. ❶Benkang Danxia Not only is it rich, but it is also very unique. The first thing we saw was the Benkang Danxia, and to express our intuitive feelings in plain language: it is very red, very winding, with many honeycomb-like holes, resembling both Danxia and Yardang, and a bit like something else. In scientific terms: it is a Danxia landform composed of continental Cretaceous red conglomerate. This type of Danxia is very 'modelable', and you can freely assign meaning to them based on your imagination. The most spectacular peak we saw is located right by the road, and people call it 'Xiaomaiji', which I think is very apt. A trail has been built along the G338 through Benkang Danxia, but it is not yet completed. Although you can pass through the Danxia peaks near the outer layer by the road, you cannot go deep, and the extent of the area is unknown. ❷Nawei Danxia The Danxia located in Nawei Village is different. Here the mountains are tall and undulating, like ribbons decorating the Datong River, and also a rare and colorful painting on the earth. However, the village is in the early stages of tourism development, and the Danxia is inaccessible, unnamed, and can only be fully appreciated through aerial photography. 🚙Practical tips for self-driving 📱Navigation: Set 'Benkang Danxia Scenic Area' and 'Nawei Village'. 🛣️Road conditions: Both national and rural road conditions are good, suitable for sedans. ⛽Fuel and electricity: It is recommended to refuel in Paradise Town.
