Introduction

The Guide National Geological Park is usually referred to as the Ashgongxia Seven-color Peak Forest Scenic Area developed as a fee-based tourist attraction. Within the scenic area, visitors can marvel at the seven danxia canyons, each with its own unique colors and shapes. Visitors need to purchase tickets to enter the scenic area, but they can also choose to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the S101 provincial road and stop to take pictures at any time. The entire geological park is not too large, about 1-2 kilometers from the entrance to the deep end, and visitors can take sightseeing cars for transportation.
