Since Huo Qubing, the General of Agile Cavalry, led his army for the west conquest, this land, once considered a barbaric frontier, has earned a resounding name—Zhangye.

This legendary frontier city boasts colorful Danxia landscapes, the magnificent Kangle Grassland, the lush and towering Yanzhi Mountain, and the awe-inspiring terrain of Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon...
