Gaoyi Ridge

Gaoyi Ridge is a mountain park in Hunan Province covering about 50.5 square kilometers of varied terrain. It features red rock cliffs, natural streams, and thick forest vegetation that characterize the entire landscape.

The ridge developed over millions of years through geological processes that created the distinctive red rock formations visible throughout the area. These formations are part of a broader geological region with unique natural characteristics.

The ridge holds meaning for local communities who gather medicinal plants from its slopes according to seasonal patterns. These practices connect people directly to the natural environment and its resources.

The park has multiple hiking trails and viewing platforms for visitors to explore. The afternoon and early evening hours offer the best conditions for observing the red cliffs when light enhances their colors.

Wild goats live on the steep cliffs and can often be spotted against the colorful rock formations. These animals are well adapted to life in this rocky terrain.
