Rainbow beach, also known as Wucaitan, is situated in Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwestern China. The marriage of multiple colors caused by different minerals in rocks and a large area of poorly consolidated rock surfaces grooved by wind erosion has created the unique beauty of Yardang terrain in Xinjiang.
