[2025 Jingbian County Attraction] Travel Guide for The Wave Valley Scenic Area (Updated Mar)

#chinatrip Located in Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, Wave Valley (波浪谷) is a hidden gem known for its breathtaking, wave-like sandstone formations. Often compared to the Antelope Canyon in the United States, this geological wonder boasts striking red sandstone ridges, layered rock patterns, and smooth, flowing lines carved by natural forces over millions of years. The valley’s unique formations were created through a combination of wind and water erosion, resulting in a mesmerizing landscape of curved surfaces and intricate textures. The vibrant hues of red, orange, and brown shift beautifully under different lighting conditions, especially during sunrise and sunset, offering photographers and nature enthusiasts an incredible visual experience. Visitors can walk along the narrow pathways and open canyons, marveling at the stunning details of the sandstone surfaces. The site is divided into several sections, each with distinct rock patterns and formations, creating a dreamlike atmosphere as you explore deeper into the valley. For the best experience, it’s recommended to visit Wave Valley during clear weather, when the sunlight accentuates the vibrant colors and casts dramatic shadows across the rock surfaces. Comfortable walking shoes and sun protection are essential for navigating the trails. Wave Valley remains relatively uncrowded and uncommercialized, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the serenity of the natural landscape. Whether you’re an adventurer, a photographer, or simply a lover of nature, Wave Valley offers a surreal escape into one of China’s most stunning natural wonders. A trip to Shaanxi’s Wave Valley is not just a journey into a geological marvel—it’s an unforgettable encounter with nature’s artistry carved in stone.

Step into Yulin Wave Valley and you'll be greeted by a vast expanse of red sandstone, a red ocean that stands out against the backdrop of the Loess Plateau. The layers of rock resemble waves, with delicate textures that tell the story of the passage of time. Touch the rocks and feel the temperature of the years. There are mysterious maze-like paths here, as well as viewing platforms that offer panoramic views. The red sandstone, vegetation, and land are intertwined to form a colorful scroll. The rocks in the canyon are towering, the streams are gurgling, and the Wave Valley under the setting sun is even more colorful, like a burning flame. Yulin Wave Valley is a precious gift from nature that allows people to appreciate the power of time and the miracle of life. 🌟Flame Danxia: This is a type of landform that is most representative of wave-shaped Danxia. It is known as "the place that looks most like Mars". Up close, each piece of rock and each wave is stretching out beautiful curves and strong colors. When the sunlight hits the ripples of the sandstone, it further highlights the three-dimensionality of the waves, making them look particularly bright and full against the blue sky. Walking among them is like surfing in the sea and exploring Mars. 🌟Red Cliff Danxia: This is a typical canyon landscape in the Wave Valley Scenic Area. The north side of the canyon is a nearly 100-meter-high red rock cliff, while the south side is a typical Loess Plateau landform. Walking in between, the two completely different views bring a strong visual impact, and there is a strange beauty in contrast. The bottom of the valley is full of green grass, the Liusha River shuttles through it, and there are several natural "echo walls". Among them, there is a curved turn. Chatting tens of meters away, you can't see the person, but the voice is close to your ears, which is wonderful. 🌟Earth's Heart Danxia: There is a light-picking 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"... Time and space intersect here, and the mark of life's endlessness converges here. Earth's Heart Danxia, known as the "time fingerprint, earth annual ring". Walking among them, you can feel the timeless beauty of billions of years.

Not abroad! Not Zhangye! This place in Shaanxi is seriously underestimated! It's like coming to the surface of Mars, the setting sun is shining, and the wave-shaped Danxia landform formed 96 million years ago is like the earth's annual rings, and every shot is a big shot 😍 If you haven't decided where to go for the National Day, you must come here to see, the recent temperature is super cool and comfortable: 📍Wave Valley Scenic Area, Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Surrounding provinces and cities can drive by themselves, or take a train to Jingbian Station 📍The scenic area is divided into three tour areas: Flame Danxia, Red Cliff Danxia, and Earth Danxia.

One cannot help but admire the wonders of nature. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

The Wave Valley Scenic Area is located in Longzhou Town, Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, with a total area of ​​44 square kilometers. It was formed in the Cretaceous period 96 million years ago and is famous for its rare wavy red sandstone, which is called Danxia landform in geology. The Danxia landform landscapes here are diverse and rare in the country. The red sandstone here is as red as fireworks, shaped like surging water, and as majestic as a stone wall that reaches the sky. The magnificence can only be described as "new, strange, dangerous and steep." The Wave Valley Scenic Area is designed and built according to the standards of a national 5A-level tourist attraction. It is a tourist destination that integrates photography, sketching, adventure, study, and tourism. When we arrived at the Wave Valley, we saw red stones flowing like a mudslide, surging into the ravine in circles, lumps, and bends. This stone is similar to a type of sandstone and is severely weathered and peeled. If you walk on it, you will easily slip on the fine red sand attached to the surface if you are not careful. Keep walking down along the red stones at the edge of the ditch, and you will see a large and flat stone wall in a wide area. It is red from top to bottom, and the color is basically the same. In the narrow places, the red stones appear to flow like water, gathering together like red mud and flowing to the bottom of the ditch. Introduction to Longzhou Danxia landform scenic spots: South line: A scenic area: Dragon Heart Rock, Dragons Playing in Water, Ancient City, Yanzhaizi, Shibao Town, One Line of Sky, Grand Canyon, Egret Valley, Tongtianzhu South line: B scenic area: Red Sand Hill, Wave Valley, Red Sand Conglomerate, Longzui, Fox Cave, Zero Boundary between Loess Plateau and Red Sandstone, Huanglongpan (symbol of dragon) North line: C scenic area: Big Bayside Natural Water Danxia, ​​Huoshigai Hill, Fairy Peak, Caogou Bay North line: D scenic area: Tuqiao Reservoir Natural Danxia, ​​(animal symbol turtle), Xiaoshazui Hill, Caogou Bay (animal symbol lion head) Artemisia scoparia. Everyone who comes here will be shocked by the spectacular scenery: the mountains in the distance are "too shy to be seen" amidst the mist, while the long and narrow Danxia landform group overwhelms you with its vast expanses of red rocks, so beautiful that it is breathtaking, making people willingly become an embellishment in this exquisite oil painting. The patterns on each piece of sandstone are ever-changing. Some look like waves, some like animal heads, some like flowing water, some like clouds, and some like spinning tops. They are all different in shape, lifelike and fascinating.
