Where is Dawa Mountain located?

Dawa Mountain is a national AAA tourist attraction, a national water conservancy scenic spot, and a national wetland park.

Dawa Mountain is located in Jinkou River District, physically located on the east side of Hengduan Mountain, 258 kilometers away from Chengdu and a three-and-a-half-hour drive. It is the core landscape of Dadu River Gorge National Geopark. Dawa Mountain, which is 3,222 meters above sea level, is surrounded by cliffs, forming a flat-top plateau with a flat top and lofty surroundings. From a distance, Dawa Mountain looks more like a castle in the air or a giant ship sailing in the vast world. The height difference of the surrounding cliffs reaches 1,000 meters, and the area of ??the summit platform reaches 1.6 square kilometers. Two small rivers originating from the top of the mountain cascade down from the southeastern cliffs, forming a waterfall with a drop of 1,000 meters. Dawa Mountain is composed of basalt erupted by Permian volcanoes. Its geological structure is the same as Mount Emei and Wawu Mountain, so it is known as the "Three Wonders in Sichuan". However, compared with Emei Mountain and Wawu Mountain, Dawa Mountain has a more unique landform and landscape.

There is no such high-altitude flat-topped mountain like Dawa Mountain in China, and only the flat-topped mountain in Venezuela can compare with it in the world. It is a rare natural wonder in the world. In 1878, after the American explorer Beber climbed Dawa Mountain, he called it "the most magical natural park in the world." On July 1, 1903, the British naturalist and botanist Wilson climbed to the top of Mount Emei. He saw this solitary mountain surrounded by cliffs for the first time, and later wrote in his article: "When Dawa Mountain first appeared in front of my eyes, it was about 20 miles away, I simply couldn't believe it. I can't believe that this is Dawa Mountain - it looks like such a huge cliff, its magnificence dwarfs its height. "Looking from the top of Mount Emei, Dawa Mountain looks like a huge Noah's Ark. The ship's side towers high in the sea of ??clouds."

In terms of geological origin, Dawa Mountain is a fault-block mountainous area that has been strongly uplifted by faults since the late Cenozoic. Lonely mountain.

The road to Dawa Mountain is very difficult. Because it is surrounded by cliffs, only one person can pass carefully in many sections. Although the journey is difficult and dangerous, the scenery along the way is very charming. The waterfalls falling from the sky and the lush virgin forest will make you temporarily forget the danger. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Mount Emei, Mount Gongga, and Mount Wawu, as well as the morning glow, sunset, sea of ??clouds, and mist, which will give you a feast for your eyes. The south bank of Dawa Mountain is the Dadu River Grand Canyon.
