Park plays race card

A running event organized by the local government aims to bring attention to a stunning natural attraction in Yumen, in Gansu province.

The Yumen National Park swept more than 300 professional runners from home and abroad off their feet in September with its attractions - the Danxia landform, its silicified wood, a volcano and a desert.

Situated in Yumen city in the northwestern province Gansu, the park is pristine with hardly any sign of human intervention.
