After breakfast at the hotel, we walked westward facing the sunrise and arrived at our destination of Zhangye today. Entering our first attraction on our itinerary, Zhangye Danxia Geopark (approximately 2 hours tour, including shuttle bus), this place is known as the "color palette of the earth" and has been rated as one of the top ten geographical wonders of the world by National Geographic in the United States. The rainbow Danxia not only has the beauty after the baptism of rain and fog, but also the tenderness under the warm sunshine. When you examine its unique rhythm, the continuous magnificence is like the colorful paintings drawn by the sky with a small ruler, as if there are rules and regulations, like an oil painting, casual and unpredictable.

reminder:

Today's journey is quite long, please bring your own snacks and motion sickness patches. The temperature difference between morning and evening in the northwest is relatively large. When playing, pay attention to changing clothes and taking good care of sun protection.

About Guazhou Tourism Service Area

On the way, you will pass by the rest stop with a bathroom - Guazhou Service Area, where local vendors sell goods. It is not a designated shopping store of our company, and we suggest that customers do not purchase to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings

Early in the morning, we will go to the desert wonder of Mingsha Mountain and Yueya Spring (tour for about 2 hours), climb Mingsha Mountain, overlook Yueya Spring, and experience the delicacy of the desert. The sandbar surrounds the spring, and the clear spring holds sand but does not mix with it. The water does not stain the sandbank, and the sand does not erode the pool. But the boundary that blends seamlessly possesses another beauty, which is Crescent Spring and Mingsha Mountain. The swaying of dry willows and the green oasis are also another form of life blooming.

According to the appointment time, go to visit [Mogao Grottoes] (about 3 hours) the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang, an art cave for the rest of life. Collecting colorful murals and lifelike sculptures, it is the largest existing "world art treasure trove". This splendid Buddhist world narrates the circulation and changes of Chinese religious culture, history, art, and customs over the past thousand years. This magnificent grotto art has been guarded by generations of Mogao Grottoes workers, so that it can still shine brightly after a thousand years and not fall into the wind and sand.

reminder:

1. Because of the hot summer weather in the northwest at noon, it is necessary to bring a scarf, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and mineral water when entering the desert.

2. Pay attention to keeping your personal belongings safe during the game and prevent fine sand from entering the camera during filming.

Notes on Northwest Tourism:

Northwest China is increasingly favored by both domestic and foreign tourists due to its long history, rich ethnic customs, unique topography, and numerous popular tourist routes. However, there is a certain gap in overall reception conditions compared to the mainland in all aspects. In order to allow you to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery and enjoy a relaxed vacation while on the road, the following precautions are prepared for your reference:

There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the northwest region, with a daily temperature difference of around 10 degrees Celsius. Especially in scenic areas and suburban counties, the temperature in summer evenings may drop to around 5 degrees Celsius. So tourists should prepare warm clothing such as jackets and sweaters when traveling, and do a good job of keeping warm. When going to bed at night, adjust the air conditioning to a moderate level (as the temperature in Qinghai is usually low, many hotels in Qinghai do not have air conditioning), cover with a blanket to avoid catching a cold and causing a fever, which may affect the next day's travel.

Due to the vast territory of the western region, sometimes the travel time is longer, so tourists need to be mentally prepared in advance. Moreover, in many cases, tourists need to get off the car to walk or experience the fun of horseback riding or camel riding, so it is particularly important to prepare a pair of comfortable and comfortable travel shoes. It is recommended to wear loose clothing when participating in special outdoor activities such as horseback riding and boating.

3. Traveling in the northwest has a long journey and significant climate differences. At this time, tourists with weaker physical conditions may experience symptoms of being unable to adapt to the local environment. So it is recommended to bring some commonly used therapeutic drugs, such as cold medicine or medication for treating gastrointestinal discomfort.

4. Due to the limitations of natural conditions and local cuisine in tourist destinations, the conditions of restaurants along the way may differ from those in developed inland tourism areas in terms of software services, hardware facilities, and food quality. And most regions in the north have a strong preference for spicy flavors: I, the travel agency, make every effort to coordinate and meet the needs of different tourists as much as possible.

During the entire journey, all tourists should pay attention to keeping their valuable belongings safe: do not easily leave valuable items such as laptops and cameras in the room. It is recommended to store them at the hotel front desk. When traveling or traveling together at night, please pay attention to keeping your personal documents, cash, mobile phones, etc. safe to avoid unnecessary losses and affecting your future itinerary.

Some handicraft shops near the scenic spots sell ethnic characteristic knives that are popular among tourists, but due to the shipping regulations of China's civil aviation and railway departments, they cannot be transported by express delivery. Therefore, it is recommended that tourists do not purchase them.

7. Northwest China is a relatively remote area in China, and there may be some differences in natural environment, economic foundation, and reception conditions compared to the mainland. For example, in terms of accommodation standards, it is not appropriate to use the standards of the coastal areas of East China to measure hotels in Northwest China. When going out, please have a calm mind. Traveling outside is definitely not as comfortable and warm as staying at home. Once you encounter problems, please do not be impatient and prioritize mutual understanding and assistance. The travel time in Northwest China is generally longer, and compared to other regions, it can be more difficult. Please pay attention to rest well, maintain sufficient energy, and enjoy the trip to the fullest.
