Danxia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Danxia Mountain (丹霞山) is a famous scenic area near Shaoguan city in the north part of Guangdong, China.
The Danxia mountain is formed from a reddish sandstone which has been eroded over time into a series of mountains surrounded by curvaceous cliffs and many unusual rock formations.
It is described in local signage as a "world famous Unesco geopark of China".
There are a number of temples located on the mountains and many scenic walks can be undertaken. There is also a river winding through the mountains on which boat trips can be taken to enjoy the scenery.
Particularly famous is a stone pillar called the "father stone" which is said to bear a remarkable resemblance to the male organ.
