Nestled between the Qilian Mountains and the Heihe River, the Flagship Store provides curated travel guides, experiences, and booking options for Zhangye's must-visit attractions.
The Rainbow Mountains
Zhangye's most iconic site, the Seven-Colored Danxia (Rainbow Mountains), is recognized as one of the most beautiful Danxia landforms in China. Vividly colored hills resembling a painter’s palette, these natural wonders offer a visual spectacle in every season. Visitors can enjoy views from sightseeing buses, observation decks, or even hot air balloon and helicopter rides for an aerial perspective. The colors intensify during sunrise, sunset, or after rainfall and snow, creating breathtaking natural scenery.
Binggou Danxia Scenic Area
For a different but equally stunning Danxia experience, head to the Binggou Danxia Scenic Area. Known for its striking and varied geological formations that resemble castles, camels, and Buddha statues, this site highlights unique natural shapes and rugged terrain appreciated by nature lovers and photographers.
Mati Temple (Puguang Temple)
The Mati Temple, a cave temple complex set into cliffside grottoes, offers a blend of ancient Buddhist art and spectacular views of the Qilian Mountains. Visitors can explore caves filled with murals and climb the steep "33 Heavens Cave" for panoramic mountain views. The temple also features Yugur ethnic cultural performances in summer.
Zhangye Giant Buddha Temple
History and culture enthusiasts will be captivated by the Zhangye Giant Buddha Temple, home to Asia’s largest indoor reclining Buddha statue (34.5 meters long). The temple houses rich historical and cultural relics from the Western Xia period, offering a deep historical insight into this ancient city.
Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon
China’s "Colorado," the Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon features deep gorges and distinctive peaks. Visitors can take either an adventurous multi-hour hike through narrow pathways ("A Thread of Sky") or a more relaxed tour that provides scenic panoramic viewpoints. The area is celebrated for its dramatic natural beauty and geological significance.
Yugur Cultural Experiences
The Sunan Yugur Autonomous County in Zhangye is home to Gansu's only indigenous ethnic group, the Yugur people. Their cultural experiences are especially vibrant during the summer, offering unique opportunities to immerse oneself in their rich traditions. Rich butter tea is a common beverage in these cultural experiences, and visitors can enjoy performances of vibrant ethnic costumes, grassland songs, horse races, and bonfire dances.
The Yugur people also share tales of ancient migrations, adding a touch of history to these cultural experiences.
