Zhangye Danxia Geological Park is located on the northern slope of the Qilian Mountains, 40 kilometers from Zhangye City. It is a typical representative of China's colorful Danxia and window lattice-style palace Danxia, and the only composite area of Danxia landform and colorful hilly landscape in the country. The scenic area mainly includes two major scenic spots: the Ice Gully Danxia Scenic Area and the Colorful Danxia Scenic Area, which are about 12 kilometers apart. Zhangye Danxia Geological Park covers an area of approximately 536 square kilometers, centered around Baiyin Township in Sunan Yugu Autonomous County, with an elevation ranging from 2000 to 3800 meters. It stretches about 40 kilometers from east to west and about 5 to 10 kilometers from north to south, where thousands of cliffs and mountains display vibrant Danxia colors and reddish-brown hues, complementing each other and showcasing the marvelous charm of Danxia landform, described as "color like wet dan, brilliant like bright clouds." Local ethnic minorities refer to this unique mountain scenery as "Alang Lagda" (meaning red mountain). Zhangye has long sunshine hours, cold winters, warm summers, and distinct seasons, with the best travel season being from June to September, when the humid air and cool weather make the journey very comfortable. The best time to appreciate the Danxia landform is after rain, as the moisture enhances the colors, making them more vibrant and eye-catching. A one-day visit is recommended.
