Travel in reverse, recommend an exotic sand dune that few tourists visit

This land seems to exist to subvert imagination. This is not Utah, and this is not Türkiye ❗️ It is a privately hidden exotic sand dune in Yuanmou, 1.5 hours drive from Kunming‼ ️ This is China's largest earth forest-Yuanmou Earth Forest🏔 . The earth forest is a natural wonder formed by the crustal movement and wind and rain erosion over billions of years. There are two major earth forest scenic spots in Yuanmou, Wumao Earth Forest and Langbapu Earth Forest. Wumao is more well developed, but Langbapu Earth Forest is larger in scale and has fewer tourists. Don't miss this place when you go to Yunnan‼ ️ I spent a few days to compile some tips and suggestions for collection ❗ . ✅✅✅Recommended features: 1️⃣The rocky peaks carved by wind and rain over billions of years are endless. On sunny days, they look like burning mountains, and on cloudy days, they turn into Dragonstone in Game of Thrones. . 2️⃣The earth pillars here stand tall and high, with rich and varied shapes, and the primitive and rough sand ditches present a majestic and desolate beauty. . 3️⃣Walking along the trail is more visually impactful, just like walking on an alien planet . 4️⃣ It is recommended to enter the park in the afternoon, as the lighting effect is excellent First take the sightseeing bus to the farthest stop, take a panoramic photo of the earth forest at the viewing platform, then go down the stone steps to area 4, visit areas 4, 3, 2, and 1 in turn, then go up the mountain and take the sightseeing bus back to the parking lot The sunset is very beautiful, and the warm yellow sunlight hitting the shadow of the rock pillar is particularly impressive. . 5️⃣If you have a drone, you can capture the mysterious magnificence of the earth forest . 🕒Recommended playing time: 3-5h (1 day is reserved for photographers) 🔍Langbapu Earth Forest in Yuanmou, Chuxiong, Yunnan 🚘Self-driving: It takes about 1 hour to drive from Yuanmou. There are many mountain roads and a few kilometers of gravel road that needs to be driven slowly. 🚄You can also take the high-speed rail to Yuanmou County, and then charter a car to go there 🎫Tickets: 50 Children: 25 🚌Sightseeing bus: 20 . 🚗Recommendations for surrounding serial lines Yuanmou-Leiding Village-Langbapu Earth Forest-Yuanmou . 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 🏠There is a homestay in the scenic area, and you can also stay in the county town 🌅Yuanmou has a very comfortable climate, with four seasons like spring, so be careful to protect yourself from the sun 🥙Langbapu Earth Forest is not very commercialized. There are no restaurants or shops in the scenic area. You need to bring your own. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes as sand is easy to slip. Bring a windproof jacket and sun protection
