Zhangye Danxia Landform is surrounded by colorful hills, which seem to rise and fall like waves: with rock strata of different colors mixed in graceful disarray, it is an imposing and magnificent sight. The Zhangye's palace danxia formations and its colorful hills cover about 300 square kilometers.
Its character is unique in China, so it was nominated by the "China National Geographic" as the top 7 Danxia Landforms in the country.
