Danxia Landform, China
Danxia landform is a vast mountainous landscape of rainbow-colored mountains. The landscape is for “real”. The Rainbow Mountains are in China’s Danxia Landform Geological Park. These unique geological formations mesmerize the tourists from around the world. The beautiful layers of colors are the results of red sandstone and minerals compressed together for 24 million years. These terrains were a result of the same tectonic movements responsible for the creation of the Great Himalayas. Wind, rainfall, weather, sun and natural erosion worked for millions of years to form these beautiful patterns of colors, valleys, waterfalls, mountains and natural pillars. Another peculiar feature of the Danxia landform is the large numbers of caves of various sizes and shapes. Some of these caves interconnect with each other, are deep and extremely isolated.
