Taining is a must-visit stop in the Danxia River area. One day, between Dajin Lake and Ganlu Temple, encounter the unique atmosphere of Taining.

Before venturing deep into Taining, the scent of Dajin Lake had already arrived. Seeing that scene from afar, even the fatigue from traveling quietly eased, and he just wanted to stand a little longer.

Ganlu Temple is the most captivating highlight in Taining. Walking along its veins, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding the crowds and slipping into Danxia, Taining reveals its true self. Elderly people, alleys, stoves, and laughter all settle into your memory before the sights do.

After nightfall, lights light up the waters of Taining, and the warm yellow glow turns the grandeur of the day into gentleness. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.

When leaving Taining, I felt a bit reluctant, but my mind replayed Dajin Lake. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved this trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
