Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park, China
This area covers 510 square kilometers of the Zhangye city area, and is known worldwide for its colorful rock formations.

The resulting stone has been sculpted by rain and wind into pillars and valleys, which can be seen by visitors using recently created walkways and trails.
