In our time in Zhangye, we visited Danixa (The Rainbow Mountains) and MatiSi. Both of these are possible in a day, so join us as we travel to them! While we teach English during the week, we use our holidays and weekends to explore the different wonders of China. Once the borders open, we'll continue our adventures exploring the rest of the world. Until then, let's explore China together.
