Kanbula National Forest Park
坎布拉国家森林公园
Red Danxia peaks on the Yellow River banks in Jianzha County, mirrored by the Lijiaxia Reservoir. The red hills and emerald waters are among the best-known scenery in eastern Qinghai.
Kanbula National Forest Park lies in northern Jianzha County, about 70 km north of Tongren. It is known for its crimson Danxia peaks, alpine forests and the emerald waters of the Lijiaxia Reservoir, and it is also a national geopark. Within the park are Nanzong Gully, Ajiong Nanzong Monastery and Deji Village. Sightseeing shuttles run along the mountain roads to several viewpoints overlooking the red hills and the lake. You must buy a ticket and take the inter-zone shuttle. A visit takes half a day to a full day. The mountain roads are steep and winding, so take care if you drive yourself, and UV radiation is strong at this altitude.
