Impressive colorful landscape - Zhangye

Zhangye(張掖)in Gansu province is a real gem hidden in western China. The colorful landscape we can see now was once a lakebed 130million years ago. Mother Nature created this masterpiece over the years through geographical change, erosion by wind and water. There are 4 viewing platforms inside the national park, which are accessible by the minibus operating in the park. All platforms provide amazing view and you can try hot air balloon and helicopter tour if you prefer to view it from a higher angel. #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #zhangye

🌈 ⠀ ⠀ Definitely thought the colours were not going to be as impressive as we’d hoped. While colours IRL were a little more muted than we had seen online, we were still blown away by the sprawling mountain scenery. ⠀ ⠀ These mountains cover an area of over 200 square miles, and are made from Cretaceous sandstone and siltstone that boast a primarily ‘deep red’ colour. We were lucky enough to be staying at a nearby ‘campsite’ where a number of traditional Kaoshan tent (similar to that of a yurt) gave us shelter for the night and enabled us to see the mountains up close and personal as soon as the sun rose!⠀ ⠀ 📍Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park, Gansu Province, China Price: 60 RMB for entry to the colourful hills (includes a 20 RMB sightseeing bus ticket) #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel
