Discover the wonders of Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark

Imagine a sphinx standing watch over the pyramids, a peacock poised with its head held high, and a grand fleet sailing across the sea – these are just a few of the stunning sights that await visitors at Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark in northwest China’s Gansu Province. Covering an area of nearly 400 square kilometers, this UNESCO-recognized geopark is celebrated for its extraordinary geological formations known as “yardangs.” These wind-carved ridges, shaped over an impressive span of 300,000 to 700,000 years, create a breathtaking landscape that captures the imagination of all who visit.
