Danxiakou Town & 'Back to Zhangye' Show
丹霞口旅游度假小镇
A Silk Road-themed antique-style town beside the north gate of Rainbow Danxia, with the immersive show “Back to Zhangye” in the evening.
Danxiakou Resort Town lies near the north gate of the Rainbow Danxia scenic area in Linze County. It is an antique-style commercial town themed on the Silk Road and the Hexi post stations, with guesthouses, hotels, restaurants and shops selling northwestern specialties. Many visitors stay here to be close to the Danxia for sunrise and sunset. The town's main show is the immersive walking drama “Back to Zhangye”. It follows ancient Zhangye post stations, Silk Road caravans and stories of Marco Polo, and the audience follows the actors through a series of scenes. The show lasts about 70–90 minutes, is staged nightly in peak season, and tickets cost about 160–300 yuan. Entry to the town is free. After watching the Danxia sunset, you can come straight here for dinner and the show, which saves time compared with returning to the city.
