Crossing the Yanjingling Red Rock Trail

⛰️ Yanjingling is still beautiful, with low difficulty and intensity, but the scenery is top-notch [Awesome]

Must-see spots⛰️
Danxia landform, red rocks and green waters as beautiful as a painting! Be sure to check in at "Longjibei" (Dragon Ridge), where the ridge is as narrow as a blade, with emerald lakes on both sides—perfect for stunning photos! There's also the naturally formed "Lizard Lake," which from above really looks like a big lizard lying in the water.

Recommended route [ThumbsUp]
It’s best to start climbing at 3 PM to avoid the scorching sun and catch the breathtaking sunset! Enter from the scenic area gate, walk along the main road for 20 minutes to reach the best viewing platform. Taking it slow, the whole trip takes about 2 hours, no need to rush.

Helpful tips:
✅ Bring enough water! There are few shops on the mountain
✅ Sunscreen + hat are a must, many sections have no shade
✅ After 4 PM, the light is softest and photos look amazing
✅ If you want to take popular influencer-style photos, expect to wait in line; it’s best to avoid weekends

Final reminder: It gets dark quickly when descending, keep some phone battery for lighting~
