Zhangye is located in central Gansu along the Hexi Corridor, occupying 42,000 km 2 (16,000 sq mi). It takes up the entire breadth of the province, running from Inner Mongolia on the north to Qinghai on the south, but its urban core is at Ganzhou in the oasis formed by the Ruo or Hei River.
The photos on this page don't seem to do the Zhangye justice, at least compared to other photos I've seen online. Maybe the more colorful photos were manipulated, but it might be worth it to try to find some brighter (unaltered) photos for Wikipedia. ~ 2601:441:4400:1740:F1C3:7BF3:AE4D:FF48 ( talk ) 01:26, 10 September 2020 (UTC) [ reply ]

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is part of a much larger 397.5 km 2 (153.5 sq mi) Wulingyuan Scenic Area. In 1992, Wulingyuan was officially recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. [ 3 ] It was then approved by the Ministry of Land and Resources as Zhangjiajie Sandstone Peak Forest National Geopark (3,600 km 2 (1,400 sq mi)) in 2001.
This list includes areas designated as "geopark" on the national level. This should not be confused with members of either the European Geoparks Network [ 1 ] or the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network .
