Possibly next year (Oct/Nov) I will be volunteer-teaching in Xi'an. I'd like to tour (mainly photography) the Zhangye Danxia geological park area for a weekend (free between 2 weeks at Xi'an). Do you operate tours, or anyone you know who would, get/take me there? I have been on the Silk Road over there (like 10-15 years ago), but never was at Danxia (too new perhaps?). Thanks for any info and help.

Greeting from Peggy, Top China Travel

I'm so glad to receive your mail for asking about Zhangye Danxia Geological Park Tour.

Yes, we have the itinerary to Zhangye Danxia Geological Park. But according to the flight schedule, 2 days including Xian-Zhangye-Xian round way trip will be very urgent.
1st day: Xian flight to Zhangye, arrival Zhangye around 2:00 p.m.
2nd day: A day trip to the geological park, and then transfer to the airport for the flight back to Xian, arrival Xian around 7:30 p.m.

It is a reasonable trip but it will be urgent in the 2nd day because you may have just half day in the geologick park and then hurry up to catch the bak flight.
So a suggestion is longer your trip from 2 days to 3 days will be fine.
 
And if I also offer tailor-made tour according to your requirement, would you please let me know:
1) How many people in your tour?
2) Do you need book hotel from us or book it by yourself? If so, which star you want to have? 3 star fr budget, 4 star for comfortable, 5 star for luxury.

Thanks for your time
