## About Danxia Mountain

Danxia Mountain is known as one of the “Four Famous Mountains of Guangdong” and as “the foremost of China’s seven most beautiful Danxia landforms.” It is renowned for its steep, striking karst scenery. The Yang Yuan Stone and Yin Yuan Stone, whose unusual shapes resemble human organs, attract many visitors and invite reflection on nature’s uncanny creativity. The Yunya Plank Walk (Yunya Zhandao) and the Nine-Nine Ladder (Jiujiu Tianti) are the most thrilling attractions in the scenic area and are not to be missed by adventurous travellers.
