Mount Danxia, Nature reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Renhua County, Guangdong, China
The Mount Danxia mountain range spans 292 square kilometers, featuring red sandstone formations, high cliffs, and numerous rock peaks shaped by erosion.
The area holds evidence of human presence from 30,000 years ago through a cracked skull discovered at the southwest margin of the Danxia basin.
The mountain range contains stone formations named after their physical resemblance to human features, including Yang Yuan Stone and Breasts Stone.
The reserve experiences temperatures averaging 19.7°C with maximum rainfall between April and June, making spring visits particularly challenging for outdoor activities.
The location hosts 88 mammal species and 288 bird species, with several appearing on the IUCN and CITES Red Lists of protected animals.
