Zhangye is so beautiful, are you sure you don't want to come this Mid-Autumn Festival?

🌈 Zhangye, a place with magnificent natural scenery and rich history and culture. 📍 Recommended attractions: 1. Seven-Colored Danxia: One of the most representative attractions in Zhangye, the colorful hills are like a palette knocked over by God. Under the sun, the various colors complement each other, creating a breathtaking view. You can choose to take a sightseeing bus or hike to the observation deck to enjoy this natural wonder from different angles. 2. Binggou Danxia: Unlike the Seven-Colored Danxia, Binggou Danxia is famous for its unique shapes and spectacular momentum. The peaks here are diverse, some like castles, some like camels, and some like Buddha statues, making people marvel at the wonders of nature. 3. Mati Temple: A tourist destination that combines cave art, Qilian Mountain scenery, and Yugur ethnic customs. The temple houses a large number of caves and murals, which are of high artistic value. You can visit the caves, admire the murals, and climb to the top of the mountain for a panoramic view of the Qilian Mountains. 4. Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon: The deep canyon and unique peaks have been praised by China National Geography Magazine and renowned geologists and tourists as "rivaling Zhangjiajie" and "comparable to the Grand Canyon of Colorado".
