The Zhangye Danxia landforms were the highlight of my trip to China. The colors are so intense that they look like a satellite image of Mars. We spent a full day exploring the park, and I wish we'd had two. The Mogao Caves were a different but equally profound experience – the ancient Buddhist art is so beautifully preserved that it feels like you're traveling back in time. The 8-day tour offered the perfect mix of nature and culture.
The Mogao Caves are a profound experience – the scale, the age, the artistry is something you can't fully grasp until you're there. I was moved by the depiction of the 'Journey to the West' murals and the story of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who actually passed through this very region on his journey to India. The guide's passion for the subject was infectious, and the small group size made it easy to ask questions. The desert surroundings gave the whole experience a sense of adventure and discovery.
