Colorful Danxia at Sunset

📍Zhangye Colorful Danxia is located in Zhangye City, Gansu Province, China. The Danxia landform in Zhangye was named one of the "Seven Most Beautiful Danxia Landforms in China" by China National Geographic magazine 🎨 First-time visitors are often stunned by this landscape, with its distinct color boundaries and layered stripes. Some formations look like folding screens, others like marbled meat 🥩, while some areas are completely red. In the distance, sharp ridges and peculiar rocks create a dramatic scene like mountains of knives and seas of fire ⛰ The colors are most vibrant during sunrise, sunset, or after rain on clear days. The visit takes about 2 hours, and you'll need to climb up to each viewing platform 🤣 🔆Visiting Route: Qicai Xianyuan Platform 👉 Qicai Yunhai Platform 👉 Qicai Jinxiu Platform 👉 Qicai Hongxia Platform There are 4 viewing platforms in total. The sightseeing bus stops at fixed points, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk between them. Xianyuan and Jinxiu platforms offer detailed views of the mountain formations; Yunhai Platform provides the most visually striking views, while Hongxia Platform is most spectacular during sunrise and sunset. The sunset lighting best highlights the layers of the colorful Danxia. It's recommended to enter the park in the afternoon to enjoy the breathtaking views when the sunset light falls 🌅
