Who knocked over the paint bucket? Or did the rainbow fall on the ground!

Will the colorful Danxia in Gansu shock you? Various colors, clear boundaries, layered stripes, some like screens, some like pork belly, some have turned red, forming a sea of fire in the distant place with sharp edges and strange rocks. If these landscapes were man-made, it would be fine, but they are naturally formed, you will sincerely marvel at the magic of nature, the craftsmanship of ghosts and gods, and the craftsmanship of stealing the sky. Some people describe it as the palette of the Jade Emperor falling into the world, I think it is not accurate enough, it should be the rainbow of heaven falling into the world. The colorful Danxia is located in Zhangye City, Gansu Province. The altitude of this place is also high, with an average altitude of 1850 meters, but the Danxia landform has a large and concentrated area, presenting a wavy mountain shape. Under the sunlight, it is covered with a layer of red mist, as if a layer of golden light is shining! The Danxia landform group is known for its large area, concentration, interlaced bedding, steep rock walls, majestic momentum, peculiar shape, and colorful colors. There are red, yellow, white, green and blue colors. The color tone has a wavy shape that follows the mountain shape, and there are also those that are inserted diagonally from the top of the mountain to the root of the mountain, like a diagonally spread colored cloth. Under the sunlight, it seems to be covered with a layer of red gauze, shining brightly, with exceptionally bright colors, which is amazing. The scenery of the colorful Danxia changes a lot. In the morning and evening, under the sunlight, the Danxia becomes more beautiful! 【Main Attractions】: Wo Hu Xia, Seven-color Aohe Tai, Wanxiang Tulin Valley, Seven-color Yunhai Tai, Seven-color Jinxiu Tai, Seven-color Hongxia Tai, Seven-color Xianyuan Tai, Silk Road, All Beings Worship Buddha... 【Ticket】: The ticket is 55, the sightseeing car ticket is 20 yuan, a total of 75 yuan. 60-69 years old, half price discount with ID card, free for those over 70 years old. The ticket for the colorful Danxia scenic spot includes all viewing platforms and there will be no second charge, but there are some secondary products in the scenic area that are not included. If you want to experience it, you need to pay extra. 【Opening Hours】: 6:30~18:00 【Entrance Index】: There are three entrances: West Gate (Nantai Village), North Gate (Seven-color Town), and East Gate (Sunan County). The west gate and the east gate are old gates, the north gate is the newly opened main entrance, very close to the west gate, with a large parking lot, more lively. Relatively speaking, the west gate and the north gate are more convenient for transportation, the east gate is more remote, after entering the scenic area, the distance of the shuttle bus is also far. Moreover, because there are few tourists, the shuttle bus departs once an hour. 【Transportation】: The transportation of the colorful Danxia is quite convenient. It takes about one hour to go from Zhangye City to the scenic spot along the 213 provincial road. If you get off the Lianhuo Expressway in Linze, it will be closer and the road conditions are very good. You can also take a bus from Zhangye West Station to the scenic area, 10 yuan. Apart from self-driving, the best way is to charter a car to go, with free control of time. 【Features of the Viewing Platform】: is the largest, where you can see the big scallop, all monks worship Buddha, etc. viewing platform, Seven-color Xianyuan Tai, there is some backlight at sunrise.

The inn inside is a wooden house, very similar to a courtyard! In the evening, you can watch the performance 'Back to Zhangye' or stroll around the town's food! I recommend everyone to try Zhangye's specialties: fish noodles, Ganzhou stinky noodles are pretty good!
