Danxia Mountain

China attractions - Danxia Mountain is in the north of Guangdong Province, and described in local signage as a "world famous Unesco geopark of China". It's a famous scenic area near Shaoguan city.The mountain is formed from a reddish sandstone which has been eroded over time into a series of mountains surrounded by curvaceous cliffs and many unusual rock formations.

 

There are a number of temples located on the mountains and many scenic walks can be undertaken. There is also a river winding through the mountains on which boat trips can be taken to enjoy the scenery.


Two particular formations are very famous: a stone pillar called the Yangyuan ("male/father stone") is said to bear a remarkable resemblance to a phallus. The Yinyuan hole is a cleft which (especially to people who visited the Yangyuan pillar before) somewhat resembles a vagina.
