Zhangye Danxia and Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon.

Within Zhangye, the Qilian Mountains, Yanzhi Mountains, and Heli Mountains stretch from north to south. The Qilian Mountains are home to the second largest inland river in China, the Heihe River. The Heli Mountains protect Zhangye from the encroachment of the Badain Jaran Desert. The Qilian Mountains and Heli Mountains stand opposite each other, creating the Zhangye oasis plain and making Zhangye a "Jiangnan" in the north. However, nature's favoritism towards Zhangye does not stop there. Within a 60 km radius of Zhangye, there are the famous Zhangye Danxia and Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon. Although they are in different directions and have different scenery, they are both classics of the northwest desert and Danxia landform. The Danxia landform here developed from the early Jurassic to the Tertiary period about 200 million years ago, and was formed about 6 million years ago. It is mainly composed of red gravel, sandstone, and mudstone, and is the only composite area of Danxia landform and colored hills in China. If Zhangye Danxia is like a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress, with a graceful and charming demeanor, then Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon is more like a rugged northwest man, with a majestic and majestic momentum. If Zhangye Danxia is a palette of nature, with beautiful scenery and colorful colors, then Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon is a sculpture of nature, with unique landforms and crisscrossing gullies. Of course, the beauty of the scenery that cannot be described in words alone needs to be felt with the heart to appreciate its beauty and the vicissitudes of life over the years.
