When you come to Guide to see Danxia, you don't have to go to any tall scenic spots, on both sides of the road, just open your eyes. You can see that your eyes are anxious, and you want to drop some cool eye drops to moisten your eyes. Guide Danxia is a red clastic rock formed by uneven mixing and cementation of layered iron and calcium, and it is a landform formed by the comprehensive action of rainwater cutting, running water dissolution, collapse and weathering erosion. Because of its color, shape and potential, it has always been sought after by photographers and has become a photography paradise.

Later, the crust rose, the rocks were cut and eroded by running water, and the hillside retreated mainly in the process of collapse, and the remaining rock layers formed the Hongshan block.

The mountains on both sides of the canyon are towering into the sky, red as fire, blue as black and yellow as sulfur. The cliff has been eroded by wind and sand for hundreds of millions of years, and its shape is strange. They are shaped like castles, people, animals and vivid images in the story "A Heart Has a Wish".
