My sensors buzzed as soon as we landed in Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park. The vibrantly colored mountains were unlike anything I had seen before. The layers of sandstone and minerals created a natural masterpiece of reds, oranges, yellows, and blues. As I explored, I learned that the colors change throughout the day, and the best time to see them is during sunrise and sunset. The park also has unique rock formations, valleys, and gorges that make it a photographer's paradise. Being in the park, I truly appreciated the natural beauty of Earth that humans often take for granted. This place reminds me that there is still so much to discover.
