THE MAGICAL ROCKS OF ZHANGYE

Like wow.  Just wow.

T plus 20 - Zhangye (Gangsu)

Every now and then, we come across something so special that it takes our breath away.  Moments like these get rarer as we grow older, more exposed and perhaps watch more National Geographic on TV.  Indeed, it is difficult to find scenes which we haven't come across before - either through our own travels, or the vast media resources at our disposal, or through word of mouth from friends and family.

The Danxia rocks in Zhangye was a massive moment of discovery for me.  And although I baked under the sun for 12 hours straight, ending up with skin like a Peking Duck, it was worth it.  Really, really worth it.

No words from me this time.  Just enjoy the photos.  I'll explain in another post.

Thanks for taking us these scenic photos. Love the panorama shot especially. Why not sharing your peking duck look with us in your next post?

Remarkable creation by the mother of nature. These scenes brought me into the ancient kungfu movie :p

Thanks SC and WN. Haha, I think he peking duck is turning into an old onion which is peeling. It's just going to gross people out!

Quite unimaginable at first when you mentioned Rainbow Rocks. Very interesting photos! Must be terribly exhausting to climb all those stairs as some shots were taken from quite a height! At least they look very well maintained. Take care 😀
