[2025 Sunan Attraction] Travel Guide for Binggou Danxia (Updated Mar)

Getting There - 30min drive from West gate of Danxia Park Attractions - futuristic park with mountains of different colours and shapes. We were staying near Danxia Park and were offered to go to the Binggou Scenic Area. It took us about 30min to get there, the entrance was about 170rmb. You can drive your car around the park or use a public transport (van, car or bus). Important: the ticket office is about 25min away from the park entrance, make sure you buy your ticket first and then go to the entrance. The scenery was very satisfying, we enjoyed walking around different areas of the park. There was no crowds and it felt like we are the only people there! #couplestrip#hikingtrails

Bing gou area 冰沟。There are a lot of reviews and beautiful pictures, so I'll try to focus on very IMPORTANT MOMENTS for independent travelers. 1) Arriving. The transportation is truly worth! There is a lack of info even if using Chinese language for searching. I advice at first go to Zhangye DangXia (张掖七菜), and after that to proceed with visiting Bing Gou Area. The shuttle between both areas exists, but the schedule is a real mystery! Also the stops vary from time to time, they are outside of regular tourist area on the road covered by dust. So, we took a cabby for 50 yuan, the ride took about 40 min (road was under construction). 2) Weather. Always keep extra clothes in your travel bag, do not think you can enjoy the temperature suddenly dropping down from 25 to 10 or 8. We saw this kind of true mature men, who were shaking like a scared rabbits. 3) Leaving the scenic area. This is the most funny and very sad moment at the same time ... The administration of scenic area finally organized the shuttle buses from Bing Gou to the city of Zhangye. But... OK, last bus is at 6.10 pm (18.10). At the parking lot the pillar with writing in English and Chinese indicates the 大巴车 or intercity bus stop, but bus will NEVER COME THERE!!! You should wait the bus outside of tourist area just at the roadside of highway!!! It's not safety because of cars going with speed about 80 km/h. The driver is stopping bus only for a few seconds, he even do not open the door. Please, do not think you are fast enough to run so quickly to jump into bus, if you are waiting at the parking. And if course the driver will not pay attention for your shouting and gesturing... By the way, the regular price for taking taxi from scenic spot to the Zhangye city center is 150 yuan, do not agree, if you are asked to pay more many. Before to come here, and at the parking you can ask the drivers visit cards (名片) for emergency. Just collect several cards. Bing Gou Area let us feel we have entered the forgo #tripaway#triplocal

Zhangye has two Danxia scenic spots, one is the well-known Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park, which is closer to the urban area, and the other is the ice ditch Danxia, which is far from the urban area. This scenic spot has a lower visibility and few tourists. The main people here are some photographers, so there is a bus in the scenic spot very early. When we arrived at the observation deck, it was about 6 in the morning.

Here is the net red in the landscape. Another important reason is that it is a paradise for filmmakers and photographers. "The third part of the detective Di Renjie", "Zi Xia", "Meet you in the most beautiful place" are here. Look at the scene. And academically, Binggou Danxia was hailed by Professor Huang Jin of Contemporary Xu Xiake as the first in China, Zhang Huans palace-like Danxia landform and Palace Danxia Guanhuaxia.
