Would like to know if the Rainbow Mountains as shown on internet are really that colourful? I believe they are in Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in Gansu. How can one visit them? Do you have a tour going there and from which city does it start. Pls advise.

Hi Anita Fernandes

Greeting from Peggy, Top China Travel

According to your questions, I would answer it one by one:
Q: Would like to know if the Rainbow Mountains as shown on internet are really that colourful?
A: Yes, it is really like that if you visit Zhangye Danxia Park in a fine day. It is a place suitable for travelling all year around, while the best time will be Jul to Sept.

Q: I believe they are in Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in Gansu. How can one visit them? Do you have a tour going there and from which city does it start.
A: The Zhangye Tour can be started from Lanzhou, a general itinerary can be

♦ Day 1 Drive from Lanzhou to Zhangye in the morning (about 4 - 5 hrs driving), in the afternoon visit Giant Buddha Temple if you are interested in religious culture you can add Mati Temple Grottoes in this day.
♦ Day 2 Drive to Danxia Landform Park from Zhengye City, a whole day for photographying in this park
♦ Day 3 Be transferred back to Lanzhou or to the next station in your China tour plan.

If you would like to have a tour enquiry from us, could you mind to let me know
1. When do you plan this tour?
2. How many travelers will travel together?
3. how about the hotel star? 3, 4 or 5 star?
Tips from Peggy: Danxia Landform Park is suitable for photographying tour, so the tour price will be a little higher than the general itinerary

Feel free to contact with us in any moment by mail if you have any question on China tour service.

Have a nice day!

Best Regards

Peggy
