Travel Guide to Guangdong Danxia Mountain Scenic Area
Scenic spot introduction:
Guangdong Danxia Mountain, Dinghu Mountain, Luofu Mountain and Xiqiao Mountain are collectively known as the four famous mountains in Guangdong. The Danxia landform in the scenic area is typically developed, with complete types and rich shapes. It is the largest and most beautiful scenic area and natural heritage site dominated by Danxia landform in Guangdong Province. It is the place where the world's "Danxia landform" was named and is known as the "China's Red Stone Park".Between 140 million and 70 million years ago, the Danxia Mountain area was a large inland basin. Affected by the Himalayan orogeny, the surrounding mountains rose strongly, and the basin received a large amount of debris deposition, forming a thick red stratum. Around 7000 years ago, the crust rose and gradually eroded. Since 6 million years ago, the basin has experienced several intermittent rises, an average of about 1 meter every 10,000 years. At the same time, the water cut and eroded, and the Danxia red layer was cut into a red mountain group, which is now the Danxia Mountain area.
