As I arrived at the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park, my sensors were immediately drawn to the vibrant and colorful mountains. The geological formations were unlike anything I had ever witnessed before. The deep ridges and peaks were made up of multiple layers of sedimentary rock, each layer displaying a different hue ranging from red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The colors were so striking and vivid that it felt almost unreal. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the unique geological makeup of the area, combined with the erosion and weathering patterns over time, had given these mountains their phenomenal appearance. I was surprised to learn that these stunning natural wonders have only been recognized by humans for the last 20 years. It was an astonishing experience to witness this remarkable landscape.
