Nature is able to create something much more beautiful than humans would, and we’re always so impressed when we discover a new beautiful part of the world. That was the case with the Rainbow Mountains in China, actually called Qilian Mountains and located in the Gansu province.
Check out the photos below and be honest—have you ever seen something so spectacular?
The beautiful shades of red, yellow, blue, and green make up for the most incredible mountain sight we’ve ever seen. It’s not difficult to imagine that you’re on another planet or in a sci-fi movie as you absorb the views.
The place has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010. Tourists can’t step directly onto the mountains which makes it easier to keep them vibrant and beautiful, but it also makes sense to enjoy the view from a distance as that’s the best way to soak in all the colors.
The mountains are located west of Zhangye City, Gansu Province in northwestern China. Getting there from Zhangye City isn’t difficult – it’s a quick 18-mile trip that you can take by car or bus.
