Who this list is for

This Zhangye Rainbow Mountains sunrise packing list is for visitors leaving before dawn to see the Zhangye Danxia landforms. It focuses on warm layers for the early start and simple supplies for scenic boardwalks after the sun comes up.

How to use this list

Put the park ticket or tour confirmation, photo ID, pickup details or rental car documents, and offline route map together first. Dress or pack in layers: long-sleeve base layer, fleece layer, insulated jacket, and windproof jacket. Keep the warm hat and light gloves near the top of the small daypack, then add the sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottle, thermos, breakfast snack, and trail snacks.

Do not dress only for the later daylight temperature. Dawn can be cold enough to need the insulated jacket, fleece, warm socks, hat, and gloves. Avoid bringing a camera with no charged spare battery or forgetting the memory card and lens cloth. Boardwalks call for closed-toe walking shoes, not footwear chosen only for hotel travel.
