Foguangyan is known as "the first garden in Danxia" and "the first scenery in the world", with Foguangyan as the main landscape and the five-pillar peak as "a wonderful place made in heaven". There are more than 30 places such as Danxia landform, Qifeng, Cliff Cave, Foguangyan, Bailong Waterfall, Danxia Castle and Camellia Forest.

Danxia landform is a kind of "red bed landform" named by geologists in China in the 1920s and first studied, that is, Chibi landform in Ya Dan. It developed on the horizontal or gently inclined thick red gravel rock from Jurassic to Tertiary, eroded by water, weathered off and collapsed along the vertical joints of the rock formation, forming strange peaks, stone walls, stone peaks and stone pillars with steep tops and feet, which is called Danxia landform. To put it simply, it is "the red clastic rock landform with steep cliffs and mainly gravel". Because this landform was first studied in Danxia Mountain, Renhua County, Guangdong Province, it is called "Danxia Landform". The rock composition of Danxia landform contains a lot of water-insoluble ferric oxide and manganese oxide, as well as the most inactive reddish mineral elements. Through the comprehensive action of natural forces such as sunshine, wind and rain, temperature, biology and crustal movement, vivid Danxia stone form and peculiar Danxia landform landscape have been formed.

Affected by regional and vertical differences, Foguang Rock has obvious regional climate and vegetation characteristics: large temperature difference, obvious three-dimensional climate (hot at the foot of the mountain and cool at the top of the mountain in summer), extreme temperature (the highest temperature is 4 1.3℃, the lowest temperature is -4.5℃), abundant rainfall (the average annual rainfall is about 1000 mm), and short frost-free period (none). There are many water conservation sources in the scenic area, with well-developed water caves and self-overflow springs, large stream drop and many waterfalls. The forest coverage rate is over 95%, and there are more than 2,000 plant groups and more than 20 rare plants, which are flourishing. There are more than 400 species of wild animals and rare animals 10, with diverse populations, rapid reproduction, large numbers and complete natural ecosystems. The local agricultural proverb "There are four seasons in one mountain, and different days in ten miles" and "Snow on the Peach Blossom Mountain under the Mountain" have just become a true portrayal of the natural ecology in mountainous areas.

Wuzhengfeng scenic spot

It is another national scenic spot for ecological leisure tourism and popular science investigation in China.

Swallow Cave is a natural cave, about 30 meters high and 70 meters wide, just like a lux stone palace, magnificent.

Surprisingly, due to wind and rain erosion, so many caves have been formed on the stone wall. In the past, thousands of swallows lived here. They cooked at sunrise and rested at sunset, so they became their home, hence the name Yanzi Rock.

Swallow Waterfall is 87 meters high, because there are always groups of swallows flying in and out of the waterfall at the stone wall in the Mid-Levels, so the villagers call it Swallow Waterfall.

With the knife of the years, the flowing water cuts the canyon mercilessly and arbitrarily, forming rows of vertical broken ridges and steep cliffs. Coupled with the virgin forest that has never been opened, it has cultivated rich water sources, thus creating a waterfall landscape downstream.
