Rainbow beach, masterpiece of Yardang landform in Xinjiang

CGTN

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.
