Located in the northeast of Shaoguan city in Guangdong Province, Danxia Mountain is called "Red Stone Park of China". Throughout the world, the landform of red terrestrial sandstone, characterizing by red rock walls and cliffs, are all known as Danxia (literally "rosy sun beams" in Chinese) landform, and Danxia Mountain is the very location where this special landform was named.

Danxia Mountain is situated in an intermountain basin in the south of the Nanling mountain range. The whole mountain has 380 (big or small) rock peaks, rock forts, rock walls and rock stacks. Its main peak is 618m above the sea level, and most of the rests stand between 300-400m. They are different in height and shape, and show all-encapsulating scene of sublimity. The rock pieces on Danxia Mountain take different shapes of man, animal or bird, etc., which seem to be masterpieces created by sculptors, but all of them arrived from the uncanny craftsmanship of the nature.

In addition to many beautiful tourist spots, there exist perfect ecological environment, widespread ecological communities, famous trees and wild animals on the peaks and in the valleys.
