CHINA'S BEAUTIFUL COLORFUL MOUNTAINS

China is a country with great diversity in people, culture, food but above all landscapes. These spectacular cliffs in the Danxia Landform in the Gansu province of China look as if they have been painted by the brush of an Impressionist. Formed of layers of reddish sandstone, the terrain has over time been eroded into a series of mountains surrounded by curvaceous cliffs and unusual rock formations. The landform is a unique type of petrographic geomorphology which is found only in China which consists of red-colored sandstones and conglomerates of largely Cretaceous age (via).
