Colorful mountain, the beauty of nature: Danxia Landform

Have you ever seen a colorful mountain on the earth? Yes, a mountain with all kinds of colors, looks like a painting in front of you. In China, there is such a mountain called Zhangye colorful Danxia.

Zhangye Danxia Landform is concentrated predominantly in Linze and Sunan counties in Gansu Province. It is both the largest and the most typical of China’s arid area danxia landforms. Because of aridity, the Zhangye Danxia Landform differs from that of south China. It is very dry and desolate, without any vegetation, so geologists call this ”window lattice and palace-shaped Danxia topography”. 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.

The Zhangye’s palace danxia formations and its colorful hills cover about 300 square kilometers. 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.

In addition, the Danxia landform has gorgeous colors due to the organic sediments. You can see various colors, like red, yellow, organe, green, white, black, gray, etc. making the place so colorful and splendid. In the day, the mountains are like brightly colored silks or colorful gemstones. Besides, with the changes of time and weather, the colors vary constantly, adding the visual shock of tourists.

Its character is unique in China, so it was nominated by the “China National Geographic” as the top Landforms in the country.

你曾经见到过地球上一座有着五彩颜色的山吗？是的，一座五颜六色的山，就像展现在你面前的一幅画。在中国，有这样一座山叫做张掖七彩丹霞地貌。

张掖丹霞地貌集中于临泽苏南县甘肃省。它既是中国干旱区丹霞地貌中最大的，也是最典型的。因为干旱，张掖丹霞地貌与华南地貌不同。它是非常干燥和荒凉的，没有任何植被，所以地质学家称之为“窗户格子”和“宫殿状丹霞”地形。张掖丹霞地貌也被称为张掖的眼睛糖果。许多艺术家欣赏这幅杰作，因为它看起来像一幅完美的油画。

张掖的丹霞宫群及其五彩缤纷的群山占地约300平方公里。张掖丹霞地貌被色彩斑斓的群山环抱，群山似起起落落似波涛：与色彩斑斓的岩石地层错落有致，雄伟壮丽。

此外，由于有机沉积物的存在，丹霞地貌色彩绚丽。你可以看到各种颜色，如红色，黄色，透明质，绿色，白色，黑色，灰色等。使这个地方变得如此绚丽多彩。在白天，山就像色彩鲜艳的丝绸或彩色宝石。随着时间和天气的变化，颜色也不断变化，增加了游客的视觉冲击。

由于丹霞地貌的独特性，被《中国国家地理》评为中国最佳丹霞地貌。
