The main reason for the formation of Danxia landform is the downward erosion of flowing water and the action of gravity collapse, forming stone walls, stone peaks, stone columns, stone alleys, rock caves and other shaped landforms.
Danxia landform belongs to the horizontal tectonic landform, it refers to the red sandstone after long-term weathering stripping and water erosion, and developed into a variety of peaks.
Danxia landform is mainly distributed in China, the western United States, Central Europe, Australia and other places, with the most widespread distribution in China. Danxia landforms in China are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical humid regions, temperate sub-humid regions, semi-arid regions and alpine regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The most striking feature of Danxia landform is its color. Due to the weathering of red sandstone and erosion by running water, both the steep mountains and the oddly shaped stones have this unique red color. This strange landscape is rare in the world, so many people want to visit it.
In addition, another prominent feature of Danxia landform is its steepness. The action of the wind and the water has caused the land to show grotesque rocks. A careful observer can see that not only the huge stones have a strange shape, but also a small stone on the side of the road. Shaped by nature for thousands of years, every place and every stone on this land has a rich and varied shape.
Peruvian Rainbow Mountain
The Rainbow Mountain in Peru is located at 5,200 meters above sea level and belongs to part of the Osassagt. Rainbow Mountain is located in the Andes Mountains in Peru with an altitude of about 5200 meters and is a typical Danxia landform. Its mountain rock is colorful and clear. Looking at it at a glance, it is like a physical rainbow bridge, which is very beautiful.
Bryce Canyon National Park
The Bryce Canyon National Park is located in the southwestern part of Utah, USA, and is also a typical Danxia landform. Although its name has the word canyon, it is not a real canyon. It seems to be a huge natural open-air theater that is eroded. Its unique natural geographical structure is eroded by wind and water.
Mount Wuyi, China
With a total area of 999.75 square kilometers, the northern section of Mount Wuyi is a famous scenic tourist area and summer resort in China. It is a typical Danxia landform and one of the first national key scenic spots.
Mount Wuyi Nature Reserve is the best protected and most species-rich ecosystem in the same latitude of the earth. It has 2,527 species of plants and nearly 5,000 species of wild animals. Mount Wuyi is a world cultural and natural heritage site, a World Biosphere reserve and a national key scenic spot.
When you see the Danxia landform, you are amazed at what nature can do. Nature embodies a unique charm that can't be shaped by any human behavior. We can't help but marvel at the super power of nature.
