An otherworldly artist appears to have had a hand in creating the hypnotic scenery in China’s Zhangye Danxia Geopark. The geopark is well-known for its unusual and vibrant colour palette, which includes towering rock formations in a variety of reds, yellows, and oranges.

The sandstone has been shaped into a succession of breathtaking valleys and mountains with a rainbow of colours by erosion that has taken place over millions of years. Often called “China’s Rainbow Mountains,” the park’s layered, undulating structures produce a surreal landscape. A must-visit location for nature aficionados and photographers alike, Zhangye Danxia Geopark is a visual feast where the interplay of light and colour throughout the day uncovers a continually changing and stunning natural masterpiece.
