15Danxia Landform, China

Imagine rainbow-striped mountains sculpted by time—Danxia’s reds, oranges, and yellows look like nature’s paint palette exploded. I hiked narrow ridges amid dizzying vistas and felt like I’d wandered into a geological fantasy…

If you’re headed to Danxia Landform, kick off in the city—snag one of those sleek hotels Shanghai for skyline views and soup dumplings before your adventure.
Then catch a high-speed train to Gansu and unwind at a top resort in China near Zhangye Danxia, where sunrise on those rainbow hills will stop your heart.
Nothing beats sipping morning tea while the mountains glow in stripes of red and gold. mixing Shanghai’s neon buzz with Danxia’s surreal landscapes is the ultimate China double-feature!
