Are you a nature lover? Then you must visit Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark in China! It's one of the best geoparks in the world. Here, you can enjoy the beauty of the rainbow hills.
They are low hills that look like waves and have many different colours, just like a rainbow! There's little grass growing on the land. When you see the hills from above, it's like you're looking at rainbows painted on the ground.
How did these colourful hills come to be? Millions of years ago, this area was under a lake. Over time, rivers brought in sand and stones with different kinds of metal elements. These were left in layers on the bottom of the lake. Some layers were red, some were yellow, and others turned purple or blue. As the climate became colder and drier, the lake dried up.
Later, the underground land began to rise and push against each other. The layers of sandstone were lifted higher and higher. Through years of wind, sun, and rain, they formed the colourful hills we see today.
June to September is the best time to visit Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark. The mornings and evenings are cooler than the hot days, giving you the perfect weather to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. Sunshine after a summer rain always makes the colours even brighter and more beautiful.
