Zhangye Danxia Landform

Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park is situated in the province of Gansu in China. It was formed by the erosion of red sandstone, forming isolated peaks. Its special geological structure, combined with long-term desert conditions, and wind and water erosion gave its present appearance. Geologists believe that it was formed by the folding of layered oceanic crust. Exposed slanting rock layers have different colours, textures, shapes, sizes and patterns creating towering peaks, cave holes and stone halls. The landscape is a kaleidoscope of weird and wonderful shapes like castles, cones, towers, as well as humans, creatures, birds and beasts. The landscape is referred as ‘China’s Rainbow Mountains’.
