Zhangye Qicai Danxia Scenic Spot — Local services in Zhangye

Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological park is also known as the Rainbow Mountain in in China .The eco bus took us into some scenic spots where we view the splendid Danxia landscape from the timber board platforms and hiking on the well-paved stop paths from one sightseeing platform to another .

Basically the higher you climb , the better view you get. Thus do prepared for some good hike on the walkways and steps to the Sightseeing Platform. But for those who prefer not to walk, there is hot air balloon and helicopter for the tour !!

Each spot has its unique color combination and shape, all providing stunning views. Especially when the sun hits the mountain, they really do have rainbow pattern. Have your camera ready for a true panoramic view of the surrounding area, but just be warned that there be plenty of tourists crowding around for a photo opportunity as well.

It is impressive and breathtaking how the colors of the mountains are beyond description and amazingly some natural rocks formation do tell a story too.

Plenty of Sigboards around on the rock formations which is self explanatory !! The geological formation is unique & typical of sedimentary deposition process. 100+ million years ago, this area was a lake or low lying basin. Thru' the seasons, alluvial deposit siltstone (greyish deposit), mudstone (lighter brownish conglomerate with pebbles) & sandy lateritic reddish loose sandstone (due presence of iron oxide- Fe2O3 & FeO2) to become the present site. Over the geological time, tectonic forces push the lake bed upwards from West to East tilting the interbedded deposit layers. With weathering by wind & rain, the interbed layerings of different hue of colours appear...to form this Rainbow Mountain !!

甘粛張掖国家地質公園（中国語：甘肃张掖国家地质公园)は、中華人民共和国甘粛省張掖市にある322平方キロメートル (124 sq mi)の広さを持つジオパークです。2012年4月23日、国土資源部に張掖丹霞国家地質公園として建設が申請され、2016年6月16日、領域が確保され、正式に国土資源部に「甘粛張掖国家地質公園」と認定された。2019年に中国の5A級観光地に認定。2020年にユネスコ世界ジオパークに指定され、甘粛省張掖国家地質公園の七彩山について少し説明します。この虹色の山は中国の張掖丹霞という地形にあり、特に色の変化がある部分を七彩丹霞地貌、又の名を七彩山と呼びます。中国語で丹は赤や朱色を意味し、霞は夕焼けなどで空が赤く染まる現象やそれでできる鮮やかな色の雲の事を言うみたいです。この山が発見されたのはつい最近で、周りには20人くらい住んでいない村だったそうです。一度映画のロケ地にもなったみたいですが、背景はCGだと思われ話題にならなかったみたいです。実は中国には他にもこのような丹霞地貌は何カ所かありますが、ここ張掖丹霞は「中国の最も美しい丹霞地貌」と讃えられています。松平 Gansu Zhang Ying National Geopark (Chinese: Gansu Zhang Ying National Geopark) is a geopark with a size of 322 square kilometers (124 sq mi) in Zhang Ying, Gansu Province, People's Republic of China. On April 23, 2012, the Ministry of Land and Resources applied for construction as Zhang Yedanxia National Geopark, and on June 16, 2016, the territory was secured and officially recognized by the Ministry of Land and Resources as Gansu Zhang Yezi National Geopark. In 2019, it was certified as a 5A-class tourist destination in China. We will explain a little about Xiasayama, the Zhangye National Geopark, which was designated as a UNESCO World Geopark in 2020 and is currently in the Zhangye National Geopark in Gansu Province. This rainbow-colored mountain is located in the topography of Zhang Ye Danxia in China, and the areas where the color changes are particularly different are called Xia Sai Danxia, ​​or the name Xia Sai San. In Chinese, tan means red or vermilion, and haze refers to the phenomenon of the sky dyeing red in the sunset, or the vividly colored clouds that can be created by this. This mountain was discovered only recently, and it appears that it was a village with few people living around it. It seems that it once became the filming location for the film, but it seems that the background was thought to be CG and it didn't become a hot topic. In fact, there are several other Danxia surfaces in China, but Zhang Ye Danxia is praised as "the most beautiful Danxia surfaces in...

Really amazing weather on today managed to take in the full experience of the Geo park it had some really stunning views definitely worth the entrance fee in my opinion there are 4 viewing areas and it’s recommended that you go for (1,2,4) and skip number 3 as it Isn’t very interesting overall worth it.
