Detailed Guide to a Five-Day Tour of Yulin and Yan'an in Northern Shaanxi: Wave Valley and Yucha Grand Canyon

Zhenbeitai, along with Shanhai Pass and Jiayu Pass, is known as one of the three great wonders of the Great Wall. Zhenbeitai is the largest existing beacon tower on the Ming Great Wall, praised as the First Platform of the Ten-Thousand-Mile Great Wall.

Hongshixia features towering cliffs on both east and west sides, a masterpiece of nature, steep as if carved. The Yuxi River rushes through the gorge straight to the west of Yulin City. Because of its majestic mountains, it is also called Xiongshi Gorge.

Tongwancheng is the only city left by the Xiongnu in human history.

Jingbian Wave Valley boasts layered peaks, emerald waters, and red cliffs, creating a magical scene on the vast Loess Plateau. Like rings of time, it records the imprints of wind and frost washing sand dunes over hundreds of millions of years, accumulating a heavy history and civilization. The Wave Valley was formed during a period of the most flourishing life and most active geology in Earth's history. The interaction of biology and crustal movements created its unique shape, resembling solidified ocean waves.

Yucha Grand Canyon: the world's living Danxia, the dream valley of China. Yucha Grand Canyon also belongs to Danxia landforms, each with its own merits. Hundreds of millions of years ago, a strong earthquake occurred here. The interplay of biology, crustal movements, wind erosion, gravity, and various natural forces, through composite actions and alternating influences in time and space, created a unique style, known as China's Antelope Canyon.

Qiankun Bay is known as the nine-bend Yellow River; here the Yellow River makes a great turn.

Tour introduction: The Yellow River is gathered in a single pot.

This is the true face of Northern Shaanxi. In my impression, Northern Shaanxi seemed like an old revolutionary base area with a not-so-good economy. But without a doubt, Northern Shaanxi is a great place to truly experience the magnificence of the Yellow River and feel the wonders of nature's landscapes.
