Queen Elizabeth II once declared this one of the world's most beautiful places (though she missed out on China's magnificent landscapes). The region holds deep significance in Aboriginal mythology. The way sunlight filters through the valleys creates an ethereal blue gradient effect that's simply mesmerizing.
