Ink Danxia, here I come!

There is a direct bus from the city to the scenic area, but there is only one bus per day during the off-season, and you need to call the driver in advance to reserve a seat. I don't recommend taking it. I recommend taking a carpool. Tickets: 80 (including sightseeing bus in the scenic area) Operating hours: 8:30–18:00 Recommended route: Take the sightseeing bus to Silk Road Ancient Road → Danding Lansheng (highest point) → 3.5 km boardwalk → Shayin Camel Bell (lowest point) → Take the sightseeing bus to Jiuse Danqing → Take the sightseeing bus to the hot air balloon platform → Walk to Silk Road Ancient Road → Take the bus out of the scenic area Silk Road Ancient Road: You can take the bus directly from the visitor center. There are yaks, camels, alpacas, and other animals here. You can feed or ride them for an additional fee. There is a section of completely suspended iron stairs, and the Ruyi Bridge itself is also suspended. I was afraid of heights when I climbed it. There was no one else, and I climbed the mountain with my hands and feet against the stairs. It was the scariest moment of the whole trip. Tips: There is food and water in the scenic area. If you bring your own, bring enough water and food, because you will need to walk for a long time and it will be physically demanding. Be sure to wear sunscreen. If the weather is good, you will be exposed to the sun the whole time, which is not much better than the desert. For your own safety, it is best to walk along the corridor by the road.
