Danxia Mountains National Park

Getting There - 3hr train from Lanzhou, flight from any major city Attractions - colourful mountains Hotels - yurts Food & Restaurants - traditional Gansu cousin It's like a dream come true! It's definitely worth coming to Gansu to see this picturesque place. We came here in May, it was a bit cold and I guess it was still low season, but the colours were still fantastic. The bus took us around the park so we could see different areas, colours and shapes of the mountains! It wasn't busy at the time we were there, but I guess it gets crowded during the summer time and public holidays. However, if you decide to go there during the high season, you can experience hot air balloon and other popular activities there (it was still closed when we were there, normal price -200rmb p.p. for the balloon). Make sure you visit this beautiful place! #couplestrip#awesomepic#naturalwonders#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

🌈 ⠀ ⠀ 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
