Four locations in China, the Danxia Landform in Gansu, the rice terraces in Yunnan, the Luoping basin canola flowers blanket, the Red Beach in Panjin were included in CNN's list of 15 of the world's most colorful landscapes published earlier this week.

CNN writes that, "Mother Nature is not afraid to go technicolor for the right effect. These eye-catching landscapes are among the world's most vivid. Some are completely natural, while others have been helped along by humans. It's no easy feat to reach many of these spots, but they're all worth a closer look."
