Tickets 100 yuan, 48 hours valid, you can play 2 days, in fact, 2 days is just right. Inside there is a nearly 90 degrees of the JiuJiu heavenly ladder (see below), very challenging, like climbing students can try Oh, anyway, we are easy to conquer it! The first step is to get to the top of the stairs and then to the bottom of the stairs.
2, in order to go to the top of the mountain to see the sunrise, set off early, after arriving at the top of the mountain found that the wind is very strong, in the process of waiting, the heart is full of hope and anticipation, the sun in the people in the sound of the expectation came out, feel incredibly happy happy, although very cold, but really worth no regrets.
3, Danxia Mountain, the main tour is the Elder Peak Scenic Area and Yangyuan Mountain Scenic Area, Bazhai Scenic Area is farther away, so go relatively few people. These three places we went this time, and only a day and a half. Xianglong Lake is still quite beautiful.
4, Danxia Mountain gives a very special feeling, as his name represents a landform. From the Baozhu Peak to the Elder Peak area to see the landscape is particularly beautiful, and this scenic area is 24 hours can be ticketed, and the cable car is also 24 hours can be opened, it is very convenient. I watched the sunrise at Danxia Mountain, only that day the fog was too big, not very beautiful, have the opportunity to go back to see.

6, climbed to the top of the mountain, it was dark, in the gentle evening breeze to experience the beauty of Danxia and majestic beauty, although not more than the risk of Mount Huashan, Mount Huangshan's show and Taishan's cultural deposits, but Danxia is still in northern Guangdong with her unique charm to hold a piece of heaven. Downhill when the sky has been completely dark, or suggest that friends do not climb the mountain at night, the steep mountain road is a little dangerous, not to mention that the following are 100 meters high cliffs, a wind blowing let a person be scared.
7, the journey of Danxia Mountain really makes me happy, climbing. Strange and dangerous completely outside my expectations, nearly 80 degrees of the ladder so that people are nervous not dare to turn back, laid on the mountain ladder so that people not only exclaimed the hardship of the builders and not easy to stand at the highest place, with the company of friends, looking at the sunset, looking at the mountains and all, we think and point to the magnificent river and mountains
8, go to the Danxia Mountain, the best place to go to take a look at. Especially the Yang Yuan stone. You will miss a lot of beauty if you just look around down there. Elder Peak must be climbed! Yin yuan stone will not matter, no characteristics. I started climbing in the morning and climbed from Yang Yuan Shi all the way to Yin Yuan Shi. Then when I went to Xianglong Lake, I didn't get a boat too late and walked a few kilometers. Want to seriously climb Danxia Mountain must bring enough water and food! It is best to bring some more fruit or something to replenish energy.
