Different from the well-known sections built with stones or bricks, Jiayuguan Great Wall was built with rammed earth, making yel- low its dominant hue and helping the pass blend harmoniously with the surrounding desert.

Extending along the northern slope of Qilian Mountain in west China, Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park in Gansu is the best repre- sentative of China's colorful Danxia landform and the largest Danxia land- scape in an arid area, with a wide variety of landforms. Undulating fiery- red ridges together with amazing multicolored mountain folds transform the park into an immense sea of fire with rolling waves, earning it the rep- utation of China's Rainbow Mountains and also one of the 'Top 10 Geo- graphical Wonders of the World' selected by the National Geographic. Culture Activities

Qinghai

Qinghai Lake

From ancient times to the present, whenever people mention Qing- hai Lake they think of 'green lake', 'blue sea' or 'fairyland', because of the marvelous natural beauty reflected on it. As to the area, it is the largest inland and salt water lake in China. It is no exaggeration to say that Qinghai Lake is a miracle that is endowed by a deity. Out- side, he circles the lake with four continuous mountains and extends broad grassland at the foot of them. Inside, like a master baker, he decorated the water with many little islands. All these natural attrac- tions come together perfectly to form a Xanadu on earth to win many tourists' favor.

Chaka Salt Lake

Chaka Salt Lake (Caka Salt Lake) is in the western part of the Chaka Basin, 298 kilometers from Xining, capital of Qinghai. This natural crystallized saline lake is regarded as the eastern gateway to , which reserves the largest salt mine in the world. Lying at an altitude of 3,059 meters , the lake is oval shape and covers an area of 105 square kilome- ters , ten times larger than theWest Lake of Hangzhou. However, it is the smallest among the several salt lakes in Qaidam area, but different from others for its coexistence of both solid and liquid salt. The snow-white lake bed and the crystal blue water against the azure sky win it the repu- tation of ‘Mirror of the Sky’. Travel to such a beautiful world of salt em- bedded in the snowy mountains and verdant meadows, tourists would in- evitably feel like they are in a fairyland. Contact
