9. Where is Zhangye Danxia National Geopark?

Faced with the surge in tourist reception and the protection of geological relics, protection measures are carried out from three aspects:

1. According to the "Three Guns to Surprise" approved by the Gansu Provincial People's Government and with the efforts of the US government, the resources of the scenic spot have been explored, protected and developed. At present, the sightseeing facilities developed and constructed in scenic spots are basically located in mountains, desert beaches and buffer zones on the edge of rivers, protecting the colorful hills and landforms to the maximum extent.

Second, pay equal attention to both human defense and technical defense. In order to cope with the surge in tourists, investment in security forces in scenic spots has been increased. At the same time, civil air defense has been increased. In the developed area of ??the scenic spot, 275 new monitoring probes and 35 kilometers of communication optical cables have been added to achieve full wireless WIFI coverage, and more than 2,000 meters of trigger electronic fences have been laid. Increase investment in science and technology and conduct round-the-clock monitoring of geological relics in scenic spots to prevent damage to the relics.

The third is to strengthen the protection and publicity of geological heritage. Every year, we cooperate with the Zhangye Danxia National Geopark Administration Bureau and Zhangye Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources to carry out the promotion of the "Detailed Plan for the Construction of the Colorful Hilly Park of Zhangye Danxia National Geopark" and the protection of geological heritage.
