## About Longzhou Danxia

This is an undeveloped, pristine land that has nonetheless attracted many travelers and photographers. Known as China's 'Wave Valley' and the 'Red Sand Mound' that has gone viral online, it features Danxia peaks in all shapes, isolated steep rock formations, golden plateau deserts in the distance and vividly colored Danxia landforms up close. The clear water of Longzhou Reservoir reflects the blue sky, together forming a colorful picture scroll.
