Take the kids to check out this hidden scenic gem in Zhongwei! Besides the desert and Route 66, this White Canyon is perfect for family photos and ideal for a 2-3 day short trip~
1. 📍 Location: Sikuzi Scenic Area [East Scenic Area] at the One-line Sky Canyon, just a 5-minute walk from the entrance! The canyon is breezy and cool, even at noon in July and August, making it very comfortable for kids. The scenic area is divided into Lower Canyon, Middle Canyon, and Upper Canyon. For family photos with kids, the Lower Canyon is enough~

- 3⃣️4⃣️5⃣️ Change the angle and shoot from outside the canyon looking in to capture the depth of the canyon. Kids standing in the middle stand out beautifully~
- 8⃣️ On the vertical iron staircase from Lower Canyon to Middle Canyon, shoot from above looking down! Make sure to hold the kids firmly while climbing the stairs for safety❗️
3. 🎨 Color Adjustment Tips: The canyon itself has a white-yellowish tone. Slightly lowering the saturation in post-processing instantly gives the photos that Instagram vibe~
4. 🎫 Ticket Info: Prices vary between peak and off-peak seasons, roughly 40-60 RMB. Great value for a family trip~
