Explore the Colorful Canvas of Northern Xinjiang:3-Day Danxia Adventure in Liuhuanggou, Changji
🌄 [Route Highlights:Collision of Geological Wonders and Natural Aesthetics]
The Liuhuanggou Danxia landform group, located 40 kilometers south of Changji City, stretches over a hundred kilometers of colorful hills known as the ‘Tianshan Palette’. Formed during the Himalayan orogeny 70 million years ago, red sandstone and purple mudstone layers interweave, evolving into wave-like and castle-like shapes through wind and rain erosion. Recent 2026 geological surveys reveal 12 typical Danxia landform types in the area, with the ‘Flaming Mountains’ and ‘Rainbow Screen’ scenic zones seeing a 15% increase in color saturation compared to previous years, becoming new hotspots for photographers.
