Longzhou Danxia Wave Valley
龙洲丹霞
A red sandstone Danxia landform in Longzhou Town, Jingbian County, whose rock layers rise and fall like frozen waves. It has become a recently viral photography spot in northwest China.
Wave Valley lies in Longzhou Town, Jingbian County, and is part of the Longzhou Danxia landform. Red sandstone has been eroded by water and wind into streamlined textures, and its layers stack up like frozen waves, earning it the nickname “fingerprints of time.” The scenic area includes viewpoints such as Flame Danxia, Red Cliff Danxia and Dragon Heart Bridge. The main ticket costs about 90 yuan, and opening hours are roughly 08:00–17:30. The rock surfaces are fragile, so visitors may only walk on the boardwalks, and climbing or stepping on the rocks is prohibited. It is hot at midday in summer, so it is best to photograph in the evening. It is about 110 km from Yulin city and can be combined with Tongwan City.
