The China Danxia formation stretches across multiple provinces, featuring red sandstone cliffs that rise hundreds of meters above the surrounding landscape.

The geological formations emerged through tectonic movements and erosion processes over 80 million years, starting during the Cretaceous period.

Local communities near the Danxia formations maintain traditional festivals and celebrations that connect their heritage to these natural monuments.

Visitors can reach the site through designated transportation routes from major cities, with several observation platforms offering different perspectives of the landscape.

The sandstone formations display numerous colors from red to yellow due to mineral content variations and natural weathering processes over millions of years.
