🇨🇳The best Nature Rainbow Cliff in Xinjiang💜🩷🧡💚🩶

Located about 24 km from Burqin County in northern Xinjiang, Five-Colored Beach (Wucaitan) is one of China’s most stunning Yadan (wind-eroded) landforms. This surreal landscape gets its name from its vividly layered rocks — shades of red, yellow, green, purple, and black formed by different mineral deposits and years of wind erosion. When the sunlight hits, the colors shift and glow, creating a truly dreamlike scene. Across the Irtysh River, you’ll find a lush green forest — forming the famous contrast of “colorful rocks on one side, greenery on the other.” 📷 Best Photography Tips • Best time: Around sunset, when the rocks appear most vibrant. • Best angle: From the main viewing platform overlooking the Irtysh River — you can capture the colorful hills, the river, and the trees together. • Pro tip: Use a wide-angle lens or drone to show the vastness. The backlight of the setting sun makes the colors pop even more. 🚗 How to Get There • About a 30-minute drive from Burqin County. • Often visited before exploring Kanas lake Burqin (overnight) → Five-Colored Beach for sunset→Kanas lake 💡 Travel Tips • Bring a jacket — it gets chilly after sunset. • Wear non-slip shoes for walking on the boardwalk. • Avoid noon hours if you want richer colors in photos.
