extraordinary as if done by the spirits. As a matter
of fact, it very much resembles a garden of ruby
sculpture and therefore is called “Red Rock Park

According textual research of geologist, among
more than 1200 Dan Xia landforms in the world,
Mt. Danxia is the district with the most typical
evolution, completed types, abundant models and
beautiful sceneries. Its typicality, representativ-
ity, diversity and irreplacebility are embodied
in its research work in a highly exhaustive and
deep-going way. What's more, it carries out the
study in the field of Danxiashan geomorphology
in connection with strata, structures, landform
expressions, environment in which it has been
developed and evolved, and it has now become
a national or even worldwide base for academic
research, popular science tourism and teaching
practice. What's more, there are zen Buddhism
and more than 80 grotto temple ruins. Ancient
literacy has left many legends, poems and Cliff-
side carvings here to make it full of historical and
cultural significance.
At present, Mt. Danxia has developed to be
a tourism area centered with sightseeing, inte-
grated with scientific research, investigation,
rock-climbing, adventure and recreation. The
scenery is characterized by being majestic, peril-
ous, picturesque and beautiful. Nobly graceful and
uniquely distinctive, Danxiashan Global Geopark
has been proved to be a treasure of nature. This
geopark is composed of several Scenic Spot
Areas, called Danxia, Shaoshi, Bazhai, Aizhai
and Jinjiang Long Corridor, respectively. Tourist
Areas of Elder Peak, Yangyuanshi (Male Stone)
and Xianglong Lake of the Danxia Scenic Spot
Area have already been opened up for the present.

ture development of 2009. A series of low-carbon
environmental protection measures of Mt. Danxia
tourism area in the hardware system design and
the software system design will be emphasized as
follows, it aims to achieve ecological sustainable
development and lead natural scenic sites to the
times of low-carbon tourism economy.
