Zhangye Danxia landform landscape area is a national geological park, located at the northern foot of Qilian Mountain, 39-56 kilometers east of Zhangye, with an altitude of 2,000-3,800 meters and an area of more than 5 square kilometers. The landscape area mainly includes two major landscape areas: ice ditch scenic area and colored hilly scenic area. Ice ditch scenic spots are mainly distributed in Le Kang Township and Baiyin Township, Sunan County, Zhangye City. Caiqiu Scenic Area is mainly distributed in Nijiaying Township, Linze County. Zhangye National Geopark was praised by Professor Qin Huang, a famous geographer and honorary president for life of China Danxia Geomorphology Tourism Development Research Association, as "the first palace Danxia Geomorphology in Zhangye in China", "the first colorful hill in Zhangye in China" and "the Danxia Geomorphology in Zhangye is one of the best developed areas in China". It has been rated as one of the seven most beautiful Danxia landforms in China by chinese national geography magazine, which has very important scientific research value and extremely high tourism ornamental value. As an ancient geological relic, Danxia landform developed from Jurassic to Tertiary. It is a red rock series formed during Himalayan movement. With the uplift of the earth's crust, the hillside mainly retreats in the process of collapse. The preserved red sandstone has been weathered and stripped for a long time and eroded by flowing water, forming isolated strange rocks, so its outstanding feature is "the color is like lotus, but it seems bright and clear." Danxia landform is mainly distributed in China, the western United States, Central Europe, Australia and other places, with the widest distribution in China. As early as 1930s, Professor Chen, a famous geologist and senior academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, named a new landform type-Danxia landform, which was accepted and adopted by academic circles. Zhangye National Geopark is the most typical Danxia landform in the arid area of China, which integrates the precipice of Danxia Mountain in Guangdong, the strangeness, danger and beauty of peak forest and stone pillars, and the colorful cities in Xinjiang. Its magnificent momentum, vast area, strange shape, colorful and highly ornamental value are rare in the world and first-class in the country. This is indeed a masterpiece of nature.
