Danniang Township Sand Dune Scenic Area
Ticket Price: 30 RMB
The dunes are formed from river sand exposed during dry seasons, blown and accumulated over the years. It’s best to go for photography early in the morning or before noon. In the afternoon, strong winds create sandstorms, making it hard to stand on the dunes and you’ll get covered in sand.
