🌈 The Rainbow Mountains of China: A Geological Masterpiece 🏔

Hidden in Zhangye Danxia National Park, these mountains look like they’ve been painted by a giant hand! Stripes of crimson, gold, turquoise, and lavender swirl across the hills—a natural canvas formed over 24 million years.

Why Are They Rainbow-Colored?
Mineral Makeup: Layers of sandstone and minerals (iron, copper, and more) oxidized at different times, creating this psychedelic effect.

Best Time to See Them: At sunrise or sunset, when the light makes the colors glow like fire.

Fun Fact: The park was once an ancient ocean—now it’s a UNESCO site nicknamed "Earth’s Palette."

Would you hike these slopes? Or just stare in awe? 😍

(P.S. Similar rainbow mountains exist in Peru—but these are the most vibrant!)
