    Lanzhou Private Day Trip to Zhangye Danxia Geopark, Dafo Temple by Bullet Train

    8 Hours

    Secure your tailor-made excursion to experience Zhangye’s stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, departing from Lanzhou with round-trip bullet train tickets included. This exclusive one-day private tour takes you to Zhangye Danxia Geopark, where a scenic battery bus ride will transport you to multiple viewing platforms to admire the park’s awe-inspiring colorful rock formations . You’ll also explore the renowned Dafo Temple, home to China’s largest indoor reclining Buddha that never fails to impress. Throughout the journey, your approachable English-speaking guide will share fascinating insights about the region’s history and geology . The all-inclusive package covers an English-speaking guide, entry fees to attractions, authentic local lunch, private ground transportation, round-trip bullet train fares, and convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off in Lanzhou.

    Itinerary Quick Look

    Your journey kicks off with a hotel pick-up from your Lanzhou lobby—your guide will escort you via private transfer to the railway station. Board a morning bullet train to Zhangye, settling in for a comfortable 4-hour ride through northwest China’s landscapes.
    Upon arrival in Zhangye, savor an authentic local lunch to refuel before heading to Zhangye Danxia Geopark. This UNESCO Global Geopark formed over 200 million years ago, crafted from red gravel, sandstone, and mudstone that bear the marks of arid and semi-arid climates. Celebrated for its vivid, layered rock formations, it’s been named one of China’s most stunning landforms by local media.
    With your guide, hop on the park’s battery bus to visit 2-4 carefully selected viewing platforms—each offering panoramic vistas of the rainbow-hued mountains perfect for photography . Spend 2 hours immersed in this natural wonder, with admission included in your tour.
    Next, explore Zhangye Dafo Temple, also known as Wofo Temple (Sleeping Buddha Temple). Renowned for housing China’s largest indoor reclining Buddha, the temple dates back to 1098 and has been rebuilt multiple times throughout history. Its core structures—Giant Buddha Hall, Buddhist Classics Hall, and Clay Pagoda—remain well-preserved to this day.
    Wander the temple’s halls and courtyards with your guide, who will share insights into Buddhist history, beliefs, and cultural significance.
    After the temple tour, your guide will take you to Zhangye Railway Station for the 4-hour bullet train back to Lanzhou. Upon your return, a driver will meet you at the station and transfer you safely back to your Lanzhou hotel, wrapping up your day of natural and cultural exploration.
