   The peculiar landform of Guangdong Province

Guangdong Province has unique topography, which has created many interesting and novel landscapes and enriched the unique geological culture of Guangdong Province. In Guangdong Province, every city seems to have its own geological and cultural characteristics and landscape. Take the cities in Guangdong Province as an example. There are 8 National Geoparks in Guangdong Province, which are mainly composed of geological relics with national special geological scientific significance and high aesthetic value, and are integrated with other natural and cultural landscapes. These national geoparks are Danxia Mountain National Geopark, Zhanjiang Huguangyan National Geopark, Foshan Xiqiao Mountain National Geopark, Yangchun lingxiaoyan National Geopark, Enping geothermal National Geopark, Fengkai National Geopark, Shenzhen Dapeng Peninsula National Geopark and Yangshan National Geopark. Among them, Danxia Mountain National Geopark and Zhanjiang Lake Guangyan National Geopark are also world geoparks.

We can use Danxia Mountain National Geopark and Zhanjiang Lake Guangyan National Geopark as examples to illustrate the unique geological scenery of Guangdong Province. Danxia Mountain National Geopark located in Shaoguan can be rated as national and World Geopark because it is composed of thick red sandstone and conglomerate with horizontal or slight change. Due to the massive structure of rock stratum and vertical joints which are easy to be permeable, the steep peak forest or Fangshan landform is formed by downward erosion of flowing water and gravity collapse. Not only for this reason, but also because of the influence of the earth's tectonic movement, many faults and joints were produced, and the whole Danxia basin was turned into a denudation area. In addition, during the Himalayan movement, the intermittent uplifting made the landforms of this area have undergone earth shaking changes. In Danxia Mountain, there are different shapes of peaks, including Yangyuan stone and Yinyuan stone which are similar to human body organs. At the top of the mountain, there are often rocks with sparse vegetation. In the erosion of the rock blocks in the wind and rain all year round, there are also clear-cut lines. Many geological enthusiasts and tourists often want to come here to enjoy this beautiful and unusual landscape. Rock blocks can also be exposed to sunlight in a variety of beautiful colors, such as orange, yellow, red.

Huguangyan World Geopark, located 18 kilometers southwest of Zhanjiang City, is a park with the main body of Maar volcanic geology and geomorphology, as well as coastal landform, structural geological landform and other geological relics. The formation of Maar volcanic geology and geomorphology is the Maar type volcanic lake formed by the cooling and sinking of flat volcano explosion 140000-160000 years ago. The lake water is protected by volcanic piles around and is not disturbed by external water system. The lake bottom sedimentary layer formed by long-term natural deposition is a "natural Yearbook" and "Natural Museum" left by the evolution of the earth for more than 100000 years. Under the influence of volcanism, many people flocked to it because it was surrounded by volcanic walls, the cliffs around the lake, the stratification and rhythm of volcanic rocks were clear, the lake water was as clear as a mirror, and the roots scrambled for the scenery. Huguangyan has beautiful scenery and rich cultural connotation. It not only attracts many Chinese and foreign tourists, but also is favored by many scholars and scholars. Deng Xiaoping, Dong Biwu, Guo Moruo and other state leaders have visited Huguangyan. Donggongting, a famous scenic spot in Huguangyan, records the past of Dong Biwu, former vice president of the state and Huguangyan.

The unique Danxia Mountain landform and Maar volcano geological landform enrich the geological characteristics and culture of Guangdong Province. They not only create two national and world-class geological scenic spots for Guangdong Province, but also attract many geological lovers and tourists. They have brought rapid development to the tourism and service industry of Guangdong Province, promoted the economic development of Shaoguan City and Zhanjiang City, and promoted the economic development of Shaoguan City and Zhanjiang City The GDP growth of Guangdong Province. It takes thousands of years for the formation of beautiful geological scenery. But if people open up these beautiful and unique geological features and develop their economy excessively, these beautiful scenery will be recovered by nature. While appreciating them, we should also pay attention to protecting them, so that they can live forever, so that future generations can also have them.
