#Daydream: Zhangye Danxia, Gansu Province, China
We know how it is. You’re stuck at your desk and the day seems to be going on forever. Your mind starts to wander — at first to “anywhere but here,” but then to exotic, faraway lands where your everyday problems and stress melt in the presence of true paradise. You want to go to there, and we want to go with you. Every day at 3 p.m. Eastern, we’ll send you a picture of the place we at Yahoo Travel are daydreaming about so we can all take that mental vacation together. Let’s go to…

…Zhangye Danxia! The breathtaking views here consist of steep cliffs and bright saturated colors splattered everywhere. It’s said that the colors become even more vibrant after rainfall. Those incredible technicolor hues are actually formed by red sandstone and mineral deposits that have been blanketed on top of the mountains and valleys. Places like Zhangye Danxia always remind us that nature truly is the most talented artist of all!
