God's spilled palette! Zhangye Danxia Landform is so stunning it leaves you speechless!! (Includes sunrise top photo spots)

This can't be Earth, right?! Standing at Viewing Platform No. 4 waiting for sunset, this sentence was all I could think‼️ The layered colorful rock walls look like burning flames under the golden light🔥 It’s 100 times more breathtaking to the naked eye than in photos!! 📸【Top Photo Tips】** 1️⃣ Lock in Rainbow Platform No. 4!* 👉 Rush there one hour before sunset! The golden light shines on the red mountains, every shot is wallpaper-worthy! 👉 Stand by the railing on the viewing platform, use a telephoto lens to shoot silhouettes + panoramic views (see P2), full cinematic vibe! 2️⃣ Shoot the “God’s perspective” at Cloud Sea Platform No. 2 ✅ Use a wide-angle lens to shoot downward! The canyon textures look like a giant rainbow mille-feuille cake (P3) 3️⃣ Wear white or bright-colored dresses! ⚠️ Absolutely avoid red! It will blend into the background!! 💡【Great Experiences】 ✔️ **Take a hot air balloon for a full panorama! 🎈 Ascend at dawn/dusk (200r/10min), overlook thousands of acres of rainbow mountains, add this to your life list! ❗️A hard-learned lesson reminder ☀️ **Sun protection! Sun protection! Sun protection! The UV rays are so strong you’ll question life! Hat and sunglasses must be glued to your face! 🚫 Don’t step on the rock formations! *Fines start at 500r! Everyone is responsible for protecting the landscape! 📌Useful Info 🎫 Ticket: 93r (includes shuttle bus)|⏰ Recommended visit time: 3-4 hours 🚗 Transport: Carpool from Zhangye West Station 30r/person direct 🌅 Best times to see: Sunrise 6:00 / Sunset 19:30 (summer)
