Since 1988, Danxia Mountain has been recognized as a National Scenic Area, National Geological Geomorphology Nature Reserve, National AAAA Tourist Area, National Geopark and World Geopark. Danxia Mountain is the place in the world named after Danxia landform.
Danxia Mountain consists of more than 680 red conglomerate rocks with flat roofs, steep mountains and gentle foothills. It is as beautiful as a pile of peonies and as bright as a white sky, featuring a reddish red wall. According to geologists' research, among more than 1,200 kinds of Danxia landforms found in the world, Danxia Mountain is the concentrated distribution area with the most typical development, the most complete types, the richest forms and the most beautiful sceneries. 140 million to 70 million years ago, Danxia Mountain area was a large inland basin, which was affected by the Himalayan orogenic movement, and the neighboring mountain ranges were strongly uplifted. The basin received a large amount of clastic sediments, forming a very thick reddish stratum. About 7,000 years ago, the crust rose and was gradually eroded.
From 6 million years ago, the basin has risen intermittently many times, averaging about 1 meter every 10,000 years. At the same time the flowing water cutting erosion, Danxia red layer was cut into red mountain groups, is now the Danxia Mountain area. The research on the stratum, structure, geomorphology, development process, force, natural environment, ecological evolution of Danxia Mountain is the most detailed and in-depth of the Danxia Geomorphology Area in China, which has become the research base of Danxia Geomorphology in China and even in the world as well as the base of popular science education teaching practice. There are more than 680 large and small stone peaks, stone walls, stone pillars and natural bridges in Danxia Mountain Scenic Area. The peaks are like forests, densely packed and organized. The canyon is deep, the ancient trees are luxuriant, elegant and tranquil, spotless.

Danxia landform is named after Danxia Mountain. Danxia landform belongs to the red layer landform. The so-called red layer refers to the red rock system formed from the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic era to the Tertiary period of the Cenozoic era, generally known as the red gravel. Now you can see thick and thin sedimentary stratification on the cliffs. The coarse-grained rock layers are called conglomerates, and the fine, uniform rock layers are called sandstones. The most prominent feature of Danxia landform is the extensive development of Chibi Danxia, which has formed the peculiar and dangerous landforms of square mountains, stone walls, stone peaks and stone pillars with flat tops, steep bodies and slow feet.
In the 1920s, scholars in China took the lead in scientific research on the red layer landforms with Danxia Mountain as the base, so the red layer landforms were named Danxia landforms. The world Danxia Mountain landforms are mainly distributed in China, the western United States, Central Europe and Australia, of which Danxia Mountain has the largest area, the most typical development, the most complete type, the richest form and the most beautiful scenery, with the characteristics of majestic, strange, beautiful, dangerous, secluded, precipitous and open.

The Ancient Xijing Road I had long heard that there is a Meiguan Avenue at the foot of Meiling in Nanxiong County, Guangdong, which was excavated by Zhang Jiuling, the sage of Qujiang, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. But I didn't know that there was another Xijing Avenue in Luyuan, and that the Xijing Ancient Road existed 690 years earlier than the Meiguan Avenue. One to Xi'an and the other to the Central Plains via Meiling, Ganjiang, Yangtze and Canal, revealing the migration of China's political and economic center from the Northwest Plateau to the Central Plains. A princess and a smile in the red dust, who knew it was Lychee. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was so pleased with Cypress Yang Guifei that he went out of his way to send fresh lychees to Chang'an, the western capital, by means of a fast horse relay. However, Yang Guifei is the only one who likes to eat lychee, the delighted Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty also likes to eat lychee.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified South Vietnam, he ordered 100 lychees to be moved from Guangdong, and built a rich, opulent palace outside Chang'an specifically to grow them. However, due to the climate and soil can not grow, Wu Di was furious and killed dozens of historians. As a result, all parts of Lingnan regularly paid tribute to the imperial court every year. At that time, there was no passage between the north and the south, so they had to float up from Minhou County in what is now Fujian. However, the sea was very stormy, and shipwrecks often occurred.
In 26 A.D., the imperial court decided to excavate a north-south passage from present-day Yingde through Qujiang, Niuyuan, and Lechang to Linwu County in Hunan Province, a journey of more than 160 kilometers, of which more than 90 kilometers were in Niuyuan. More than 1,800 years ago, the land of Lingnan was covered with primitive forests, where rhinoceroses and wild elephants appeared. In addition to stacking mountains and climbing ladders, the terrain of the ancient road varies greatly, and the climate varies greatly within a few dozen miles. However, the one-meter-wide hemp stone was paved across the mountains, and the enormity of the construction project can be imagined. From then on, to the court tribute to lychee and other fresh fruits of the stagecoach day and night from this ancient road to the north. Due to the long distance, rugged obstacles, and vicious insects and beasts on the way, many horses or horses died due to exhaustion, disease, or poisoning by poisonous insects. In the fifteenth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (103 A.D.), the magistrate of Kaiwu was promulgated in Linwu County, Hunan Province. He risked his life to go to the court and asked the court to avoid paying tribute to the fresh fruits such as lychee and longan in Lingnan, and warned Ming that these two things may not prolong life.
The court agreed. In the long years that followed, the ancient Xijing Road underwent repairs by successive dynasties and became a highway for passing information and transporting goods at the time. Today, most of the Xijing Ancient Road has been obliterated, and only two sections of 2.5km each remain in Miluyuan.I walked along an ancient road in Monkey Ridge, which is located between Hongyun and Dachiao towns. It coiled like a snake in the wild mountains. It is made of all stones and is only 1 meter wide.
As I climbed the stairs, I could see that some of the stone slabs had clearly visible tread indentations and were y worn. These are marks left by the constant trampling of horses' hooves. I think Han Yu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was relegated to Chaozhou for admonishing the encounter with Buddha's bones. A letter to Chao. The local people admired this good official who wanted to get rid of evil for the sake of enlightenment and was willing to cherish his old age. Monuments honoring him can now be found everywhere, such as Xin Xiang Zhi at Han Xin Pavilion, Yang Zhi Zhi at Yang Zhi Pavilion, as well as Han Wen Gong's stone burial and Han Wen Gong Temple. Strolling through Yang Zhi Pavilion, locals tell a story of good and evil being the same as ice and charcoal since ancient times. In the second year of the Tang Xianheng, Tang Gao favored to abolish the family name of the great official Wu Minzhi

San Ying Pagoda, formerly known as Xiang Yan Poetry Pagoda. Located at Yongkang Road, Nanxiong City, Guangdong, China, it was built in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu of the Northern Song Dynasty (1009) and rebuilt in the eleventh year of Zhengtong of the Ming Dynasty (1446). It was originally one of the buildings of Xiang Yan Temple. The pagoda is a pavilion-type brick tower structure, ****9 floors, 50.2 meters high (plus the top of the tower). At present, San Ying Pagoda is the only brick pagoda in Guangdong Province in the early Northern Song Dynasty that can be dated back to that year, and has been listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. Each floor of the pagoda has flying eaves and railings, and a copper bell hangs from the beam of the flying eaves. There are 48 copper bells in the whole pagoda.
On the other hand, at the end of each of the eaves and ridges, there is a squatting sauce-red earthenware fairy tale, which was sent as a sign of Tofu. The pagoda is said to reflect three shadows of the pagoda on the mirror-smooth walls of Xiangyan Temple, one shadow facing upward and two shadows hanging upside down, hence the name was changed to San Ying Pagoda. Unfortunately, Xiang Yan Temple has been destroyed and visitors can no longer see this wonderful sight. If people look closely, they will also find a sauce-red pottery fairy at the end of each ridge on the eaves of the pagoda. As for the pottery of the San Ying Pagoda, there is another story that has been passed down: Xiao Tong, the eldest son of the Southern Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Shixing and studied under Master Fu. One year, in Shixing, a plague broke out in the area of Nanxiong, killing many people.
The only way to cure the disease was to grind water from the horns of wild animals and drink it. In order to cure the people of this disease, Xiao Tong chased it from Shixing to Nanxiong, and caught it after chasing it to San Ying Pagoda. The people were saved, and Xiao Tong unfortunately died of the disease due to exhaustion. Later, in order to honor the benevolent prince Xiao Tong, and to express his wishes for the TOEFL exam, he put the pottery fairy tale on the eaves of the tower when he built it.
