🌈⛰ Zhangye Danxia: China’s Natural Rainbow Mountains

#chinatravel This isn’t a painting, it’s real. Tucked away in Gansu Province, the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park is one of China’s most surreal natural wonders. Formed over millions of years by sandstone and mineral deposits, the hills here ripple in vibrant stripes of red, orange, yellow, and blue, like Earth’s very own rainbow 🛰 This stunning landscape wasn’t widely known until satellite photos and drone footage went viral… and now, it's a bucket list destination for travelers from around the world The best time to visit? 🌤 Sunrise or sunset, when the low-angle light makes the colors glow like fire. Whether you’re hiking along the platforms or just admiring the view from above, this place will truly make you feel like you’ve stepped into another planet #china #zhangyedanxia #rainbowmountains
