Danxia landforms, belonging to red layer landforms, refer to red sandstone formed by long-term wind and water erosion and stripping, resulting in isolated peaks and steep cliffs and rocks, and are the total of various Danxia peaks developed along vertical joints in thick red sandstone and gravel layers. They mainly occur in the Cretaceous to the Tertiary period's horizontal or gently inclined red layers, with the Danxia Mountain in northern Guangdong being the most typical.
