Is there a 1 day tour of the Danxia Landform Geological Park and a 1 day tour of Xian, if so how could someone do both? My wife and I would traveling from Beijing to see both sites. We could make it a 2 day trip with hotel for 1 night.

Dear Ken Boice,

Thanks for contacting Top China Travel!

It is not possible to visit both Danxia Landform Geological Park and Xian in only 2 days. Danxia Landform Geological Park is located in Zhangye City, which is about 1148 km away from Xian. So if you want to go to Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park, you have to get to Zhangye by overnight train or flihgt first. One thing should be noticed is that the schedule of flights between Xian and Zhangye is not fixed and quite limited. So in some dates, there may not be flights between them. We need to know the dates of your trip to check it. As for train, there are a couple of trains between Xian and Zhangye, it takse about 13 hours to 16 hours, depending on different trains.

So it takes at learst 6 days. A draft proposal would be like this. Day 1 Your arrival in Xian; Day 2 Xian City Tour; Day 3 Xian - Zhangye; Day 4 Zhangye City tour to Giant Buddha Temple, Wooden Pagoda Temple, Mati Temple Grottoes in Zhangye; Day 5 Zhangye - Landform Geological Park - Zhangye; Day 6 Zhangye - Xian

If the time is okay for you, we can make tour a detailed proposal for you. But we may need some more details to do that. Would you mind advising some more detail of your trip plan?

1) How about your travel dates?
2) What kind of hotel would you like to stay in? 5 star for deluxe, 4 star for comfortable or 3 star for budget hotel?
