Danxia landformDanxia Landform is a relatively new kind of landform having been defined and recognized internationally in the last few years. It refers to various landscapes found in southeast and southwest China that “consists of red bed characterized by steep cliffs”. It is a unique type of petrographic geomorphology found in China. Danxia landforms are formed from red-colored sandstones and conglomerates of largely Cretaceous age. The landforms look very much like karst topography that forms in areas underlain by limestones, but since the rocks that form Danxia are sandstones and conglomerates, they have been called "pseudo-karst" landforms. The Danxia landform is named after Mount Danxia, one of the most famous examples of the Danxia landform.

Chishuia Danxia landformThe formation of the Danxia landform can be dated back to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods about 100 million years ago. It covers an area of over 1,000 square kilometers. The collapsing and weathering of a thick layer of red quartzose formed the area’s unique landscape, including amazing valleys, sheer precipices and rushing waterfalls. Formed of sandstone, the Chishui Danxia landform is situated where the Sichuan Basin meets the Northern Guizhou Plateau, an area of humid weather and dense vegetation.
