Located in Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park, the Rainbow Mountains in China attract tourists from all over the World because of their colors that mimic a rainbow painted over the tops of rolling mountains.

This National Park is located in the Gansu province in China’s northwest covering 200 square miles. The site was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009 and is the destination for many Chinese and international tourists.

The Rainbow Mountains were formed by the erosion of red sandstone, forming isolated peaks and steep stratified outcrops. Its special geological structure, combined with long-term desert conditions, freeze-thaw peeling, and wind and water erosion gave rise to its present appearance.

Geologists believe that Danxia topography is formed by folding of layered oceanic crust. Exposed slanting rock layers have different colors, textures, shapes, sizes, and patterns. The combination of differences in density and erosion create towering peaks, cave holes, and stone halls. Scroll down and rest your eyes with rainbow mountains magnificent landscape.

A Chinese artist, He Peixi, constructed a large and detailed model version of his home city, Chingqing in China with more than 50,000 coins.

Different kinds of both ancient and modern currency were used. No glue was applied, all structures were stacked by using chopsticks. Green and red agate stones were used to represent the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. Peixi spent up to two hours every day for a month to create this amazing installation.
