🎈Yulin Jingbian Wave Valley | Geological Wonders Tour🎈|||Kids👫, today I will introduce you to the Wave Valley Scenic Area in Jingbian, Yulin. Not only does it have unique geological landscapes, but also mouth-watering food.
📍Address: Longzhou Town, Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province.
📜Culture: The rock in the Wave Valley is called red sandstone, which is academically called "arsenic sandstone". Geology calls it Danxia landform, which is named because the sandstone texture is like waves. The Danxia landform landscape here was mainly formed during the Cretaceous period 96 million years ago. It was formed by the continuous immersion of sand dunes in groundwater, layer by layer, condensed into sandstone, and then formed by crustal movement, running water and wind. It is like the annual rings of time and the fingerprints of the earth, recording the marks of the wind and frost washing the sand dunes for hundreds of millions of years, and accumulating the vast and heavy history and civilization of the Loess Plateau.
🎫Travel guide:
💰Tickets: Adult ticket RMB 90, half-price ticket RMB 45, glass viewing bridge RMB 50, escalator RMB 15.
🕙Opening hours: 08:00 - 17:30 (ticket sales stop at 17:00).
🅿️Parking: The scenic area has a convenient parking lot and parking is convenient.
🌟The scenic area has 3D viewing bridges, concentric platforms, wave platforms and other viewing areas. It is mainly divided into three parts: flame Danxia, earth Danxia and water Danxia.
👉The Flame Danxia Tourist Area is a kind of landform that best represents the wave-shaped Danxia. It is known as the "most Mars-like place". The sunlight hits the ripples of the sandstone, highlighting the three-dimensionality of the waves, and it looks particularly bright and full against the blue sky.
👉The Red Cliff Danxia has a Danxia cliff on one side and a magnificent canyon landscape on the Loess Plateau on the other. The eyes are full of green reeds, and the winding quicksand river flows slowly beside it. The red cliff of Danxia and the green mountains and green waters complement each other, like a lost ink painting.
👉The Earth Danxia has a light-collecting platform that looks like a timeline, a Xiangyun platform that looks like a cloud, and a dragon heart platform that is transformed from the heart of a dragon in the ancient myth "Dragon and Tiger Fight", etc. Time and space are staggered here, allowing people to feel the beauty of the world that has been new for hundreds of millions of years.
