                                            Zhangye Danxia Landform in Gansu, China

The Zhangye Danxia landform is also known as the eye candy of Zhangye. Many artists admire this masterpiece as it appears like a perfect painting on canvas. This 400-square-kilometre attraction is located in in Linze  and Sunan counties in Gansu Province in central north China.

Magnificence
It is composed of lots of precipitous cliffs, most of which are several hundred meters high. All of these cliffs are smooth and sharp, standing in the plains and riversides, looking grand and magnificent, vigorous and virile. Even the low pinnacles look powerful.

Uniqueness
Across the Danxia landform zone, a kaleidoscope of numerous red rocky outcrops resemble weird and wonderful shapes like castles, cones, towers, as well as humans, creatures, birds and beasts. They are as vivid and organized as the Millennium Castle and, especially with their peaks peeping through the mist and clouds, produce mirage-like scenery of fantastic mountains and pavilions.

Precipitousness
The mountains there are always perpendicular or have very steep slopes which people regard in awe and many appear unclimbable.

Zhangye and the Silk Road
Domestic and international visitors come to Zhangye while exploring the Silk Road. In ancient times, Zhangye was called Ganzhou. It was a well-known commercial trade post located on the Silk Road. Many traders used to come to Ganzhou. This gave birth to the growth of both tourism and commerce in the area.
