This 510-square-kilometer attraction lies between the Linze and Sunan counties along the Qilian Shan mountain range, part of the Chinese Danxia.
The protected area was established on April 23, 2012 under the provisional name of Zhangye Geological Park of the Chinese Danxia. After having created tourist services and a scenic road through it, on 16 June 2016 the Ministry of Land and Resources officially established it as "Zhangye Gansu National Geological Park".
The park is located on the northern slopes of the Qilian mountains, on the border between the Linze and Sunan counties, or in the territory of Zhangye prefecture, in the province of Gansu. The main tourist areas of the Chinese Danxia rock formations are located in the towns of Kangle and Baiyin.
