Danxia Shan is a newly developed tourist destination in Guangdong. As legend goes, it was the very place where mythological Lady Nuwa mended the leak in the sky and created human beings with five colour rocks, red earth and water from the nearby Jingjiang River. Danxia Shan is a 180-square-kilometer mountain area with stones and hills of fascinating and sometimes bizarre shapes. Danxia, which means ‘red cloud’, has a distinctive red sandstone land formation, called ‘Danxia Topography’. Such topography is formed of water-dissolvable quartz as well as some minerals, which make stones most vulnerable to erosion year after year, detaching parts of stones and forming the current shapes. In China, Danxia Shan is known also as the ‘Red Stone Park’ for this distinctive topography. Maybe you can go to Mount Danxia when you go to Guangzhou for Canton Fair 2013 .
