Jul 27, 2025
In Gansu Province, the Colorful Danxia (七彩丹霞) is a surreal landscape where rolling hills and jagged peaks are splashed with vibrant layers of red, orange, yellow, and even blue. These colors come from millions of years of sandstone and mineral deposits, sculpted by wind and rain into breathtaking shapes.
The park has several viewing platforms — the best times to visit are sunrise for soft pastel hues, and sunset when the colors become bold and fiery. Walking along the boardwalks, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a giant watercolor painting. 🌄
💡 Tips:
• Located about 40 km from Zhangye City — easy to reach by taxi or tour bus.
• Wear sunscreen and a hat; there’s minimal shade.
• If time allows, stay overnight nearby to catch both sunrise and sunset.
