Recognised by UNESCO, it is famous for its colourful “rainbow hills”. These low hills look like waves of different colours, just like a rainbow painted on the ground. Millions of years ago, the area was under a lake. Rivers brought sand and stones with metal elements into the lake, and they settled in layers. When the climate became drier, the lake dried up. The underground land rose and pushed the sandstone layers up. After years of wind, sun and rain, these layers became the colourful hills we see today. The best time to visit is June to September. The cool mornings and evenings are perfect for enjoying sunrises and sunsets. Sunshine after rain makes the colours even brighter.
