Danxia Mountain is located about 9 kilometers south of Renhua County and 56 kilometers away from Shaoguan City. Danxia Mountain, together with Luofu Mountain in Nanhai, Luofu Mountain in Boluo and Dinghu Mountain in Zhaoqing, is one of the four famous mountains in Guangdong, and was designated as a national scenic spot by the State Council in 1988. The whole mountain is red gravel, overlooking the whole mountain, "the color is like a lotus flower, and it is bright", so some people call it "Hongshi Garden". Its geological strata are composed of clastic red rocks, gravel rocks and powdery sandstone, containing calcium, iron oxide and a small amount of gypsum, which is red in color and is a representative of sandstone topography. This landform belongs to Danxia landform with Wuyishan in Fujian and Jinjiling in Shaoguan. Danxia Mountain was called the old place of burning wood Buddha in ancient times, also known as the Elder Village. According to Guangdong Tongzhi, there was a Buddhist layman Fayun resting in jinshiyan in Danxia Mountain during the Tang and Five Dynasties.

Danxia Mountain is one of the four famous mountains in Guangdong Province. It is located nine kilometers south of Renhua County in northern Guangdong Province. It is famous for its "strangeness, danger and beauty", and it is named after "the color is like a lotus flower, and it is like a bright sky". "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, not as good as Guangdong Danxia." This is people's praise for Danxia Mountain. Legend has it that a long time ago, a pair of young men and women rode a red horse and rode the wind and clouds in order to find an ideal place to settle down and set up a business. One day, when they came to Dongting Lake, they suddenly saw the trees in the south of the five mountains, the banks of the Mianshui River, the trees were green, the sky was blue, the flowers were splendid, the birds were flying, and the scenery was very beautiful, so they rode south and stopped under a tree of osmanthus, which was as tall as the sky. They were fascinated by the strange mountains and strange waters here, so they settled down here. This horse is also very nostalgic here, drinking the clear and long river here all day long, and after a long time, it will turn into a magnificent mountain, which is Danxia Mountain. Danxia Mountain is called "Danxia Terrain" in today's geology. According to the research of geologists, as early as more than 2 million years ago, the area around Danxia Mountain used to be a huge lake. Later, due to the rising of the earth's crust, the lake was exposed to the ground, and the rock strata were eroded by wind and rain and washed by water, which became such a wonder of peak forest. There are three peaks on the Danxia Mountain. From a distance, the three peaks stand tall and confront each other, such as rising out of the sky and winding. Baofeng lies in the north, with Conch Peak in it, Elder Peak in the south, and Conch Peak is the most majestic among the three peaks. There are many scenic spots and historical sites in Danxia Mountain. Besides Biechuan Temple, jinshiyan, Haitian Gate and Yixiantian, there are also poems and inscriptions left by literati and poets in past dynasties. Those strange peaks and wonderful scenery, which are in the form of gods and immortals, are really dazzling and lingering.
