Detailed introduction of attractions:
Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon (including off-road vehicle and camel riding experiences)
Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon is hailed as a geological wonder "comparable to the Grand Canyon in Colorado, USA". The scenic area covers an area of approximately 95 square kilometers and is characterized by deep canyons, rugged peaks, and winding ravines.
The biggest highlight here is the immersive canyon adventure experience. You can walk along the boardwalk deep into the valley and look up at the narrow rock crevice known as the "One Line Sky." In the wide valley floor, two unique modes of transportation are available: one is to drive a desert off-road vehicle and experience the thrill of speeding through the ravines; the other is to ride a camel at a leisurely pace, experiencing the relaxed rhythm of the ancient Silk Road. These two methods allow you to touch up close these rock walls, sculpted by millions of years of geological activity, with their rich colors ranging from deep ochre to golden yellow, from different perspectives.
Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park
The Rainbow Mountains Scenic Area offers a completely different visual feast. As a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a world geopark, it is famous for its magnificent colors, described as "as red as cinnabar and as bright as the morning glow."
Under the sunlight, the hills here display a vibrant array of colors, including red, yellow, orange, white, and bluish-gray, layered and rippling like waves. The scenic area boasts several viewing platforms, with the "Seven-Rainbow Sunset Platform" being particularly enchanting at sunset and a superb spot for photography. Besides classic sightseeing, you can also choose to take a hot air balloon or helicopter ride for an unparalleled and breathtaking aerial view. This area has also served as a filming location for many famous movies and television series. In 2025, the Zhangye Colorful Hills were included in the World Natural Heritage Tentative List, gaining global recognition for their value.
End time of the trip (time of arrival at the city hotel): 18:00-20:00, subject to the actual situation on the day.
Return service area: Free door-to-door delivery is available in Zhangye city and Zhangye West (high-speed railway station).
