Encountering the Rainbow Kingdom, the ink Danxia in Lanzhou amazed me

The Danxia landform is one of the most famous scenic spots in the northwest region. This ancient land, which was once a vast ocean millions of years ago, now resembles a huge palette. It takes about an hour's drive from Lanzhou city to reach the area. The entrance to the scenic area is very broad, and you feel the expanse of the land as soon as you get out of the car. The surrounding mountains are undulating, but the entrance is not the Danxia landform. As you proceed with the sightseeing car, you can quickly see the varied Danxia landforms with very peculiar geology. The sightseeing car first takes you to the very top of the Danxia landforms, and then gradually moves downward, getting closer and closer to the landforms. The Danxia landforms in Lanzhou are mainly characterized by red mountains, with a secondary mix of reddish-brown and earthy yellow, due to the perennial drought and differences in sunlight exposure. The individual landforms are countless in their unique and artistic shapes. From the highest point, overlooking the Danxia is like looking at a painting of reddish ink and greenish-blue. It's very beautiful, and up close, it looks like a cascade of rainbows falling from the sky. The Danxia landforms in Lanzhou are different from those in Zhangye; Lanzhou's are only red and yellow, while Zhangye's are multicolored. The entire ink Danxia scenic area in Lanzhou takes about 2 hours to tour. There is a sightseeing car available throughout the journey.
