Magnificent scenery, enjoyable hiking
Charyn State National Nature Park的点评
点评:As the world's second largest one, this magnificent canyon made of red and yellow sandstone, sculpted by wind, rain, and river. It is said to have formed 12 million years ago.
The canyon is vast, stretching 150 kilometers. Currently, only about 2 kilometers are open to tourists. A leisurely walk, taking your time to explore, including climbing some rock faces, takes about 40-60 minutes one way.
There is small shuttle buses between the starting and ending points. Most tourists walk to the end and then take the shuttle back. The queue at the end is extremely long, and although buses run every 10-15 minutes, the wait can be over an hour. Thanks to our guide Sam's wise suggestion: "Take the bus on the way there (almost no waiting), then walk back." This saved us a lot of time.
We were very lucky; the weather was cool during our visit. That allows us to stroll and admire the magnificent scenery and various unique rock formations – a truly enjoyable experience.
翻译:作为世界第二大峡谷,这条壮丽的峡谷由红黄相间的砂岩构成,经风雨和河流的雕琢而成,据说形成于1200万年前。
峡谷绵延150公里,气势磅礴。目前,仅有约2公里对游客开放。悠闲漫步,细细探索,甚至可以攀爬一些岩壁,单程大约需要40-60分钟。
起点和终点之间有小型摆渡车。大多数游客步行至终点,然后乘坐摆渡车返回。终点的队伍非常长,虽然摆渡车每10-15分钟一班,但有时等待时间可能超过一个小时。多亏了我们的导游萨姆的明智建议:“去程乘坐摆渡车(几乎不用等),然后步行返回。”这为我们节省了大量时间。
我们非常幸运,游览期间天气凉爽。这让我们能够悠闲漫步,欣赏壮丽的景色和各种独特的岩石地貌——真是一次令人愉悦的体验。
