Morning: Lanzhou Departure & Train Journey to Zhangye
1. Hotel Pick-Up & Transfer to Lanzhou Railway Station

Board the morning bullet train and relax as the scenery shifts from Lanzhou’s urban skyline to the vast Gansu countryside. Upon arrival in Zhangye, refuel with a delicious local lunch—savor authentic Gansu flavors, such as hand-pulled noodles or braised lamb, to energize for the afternoon’s exploration.
Afternoon: Zhangye Danxia Geopark Exploration
1. Introduction to Zhangye Danxia Geopark
Head to Zhangye Danxia Geopark, a natural wonder celebrated for its striking rainbow-hued rock formations. These vibrant layers of red, orange, yellow, and purple stretch across the landscape, creating a surreal, painterly scene that has been named one of China’s most beautiful landforms by Chinese media.
Historical Fact: Formed over 200 million years ago from red gravel, sandstone, and mudstone, the geopark bears clear traces of ancient arid and semi-arid climates, with its colorful layers shaped by millions of years of erosion.
2. Guided Tour via Park Battery Bus
With your guide, board the park’s convenient battery bus—your gateway to 5 carefully selected sightseeing platforms. Each platform offers a unique perspective of the Danxia landforms: from sweeping panoramic views of undulating colorful ridges to up-close glimpses of intricate rock textures. Pause at each stop to soak in the breathtaking natural beauty, snap photos, and listen to your guide share fascinating insights about the park’s formation and ecology.
3. Leisurely Exploration & Scenery Appreciation
Spend 2-3 hours exploring the geopark at a relaxed pace. Wander along the designated paths, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and marvel at how sunlight enhances the vivid colors of the rocks—changing hues from bright gold to deep crimson as the afternoon progresses. This is the perfect time to capture postcard-worthy shots of one of nature’s most spectacular creations.
Evening: Return Journey to Lanzhou
1. Transfer to Zhangye Railway Station & Bullet Train Back
After concluding your geopark tour, your guide will accompany you to Zhangye Railway Station for your return bullet train to Lanzhou. Settle in for the 4-hour journey, reflecting on the unforgettable views you’ve experienced.
