Zhangye danxia tour by hot air ballon, glider & helicopter
What kind of experience is it to fly in a hot air balloon, on a glider, in a helicopter or by some other air projects? Late in the afternoon, No.4 Platform in Zhangye Danxia Scenic Area is jam-packed with people, because this is the best place to watch the sunset. And here, you can also participate in some air experience projects, for instance, hot air balloon, glider and helicopter, etc. Zhangye Danxia Landform makes compelling pictures when you stand tall to overlook the mountains in the sinking sun. The deep red flowing grain, like the skin of the earth is ups and downs, makes the distant peaks and clouds complement each other. The shadow formed by folds is just as a variety of techniques in landscape paintings. Crisscross stone forest, looked like palaces and castles, is so mysterious and appalling that gives you a visual impact and makes you amazed.
