Luliang Colorful Sand Forest: weathered sand cliffs in red, yellow and white
Duqibao village, Majie town, Luliang County
Mineral-rich sandstone has worn down into spires and gullies striped red, yellow, white, grey and black, and the bands change tone as the sun moves across them. The park is compact, two to three hours on foot, and CCTV's 1990s Romance of the Three Kingdoms series filmed scenes here. Come on a sunny day, when the colors are at their strongest.
What locals sayPhotographers like it as an uncrowded alternative to the big-name sights and say the colors look good straight out of the camera.
