Guizhou Chi Shui Danxia National Geological Park

History

formation history

formed Chishui Danxia landform can be divided into four stages, namely the ancient lake sedimentary period of uplift and erosion, childhood and youth of Danxia Danxia period.

• paleolake deposition of

Late Triassic in Indosinian movement, such that Sichuan depression occurred in Taiwan rift subsidence form Prachuab ancient lake, to the late Cretaceous period has been in the inland lake environment during the Triassic, and deposited a combination of red and coal-bearing layer of kilometers on thick for the late Dan Chishui Xia landform development to prepare a good material basis.

• denudation of

Sichuan so late Cretaceous Au departing station inland lake environment, thick red layer originally deposited in ancient lake Basu exposed surface, and during a long tertiary station together with its south Qianbei experienced intermittent leveled denudation during a long time, forming a multi-stage relatively gentle topography of planation surface. The overall performance of the terrain southeast, northwest low.

• youth Danxia stage I

After entering the Quaternary, affected by the new tectonic movement the impact of Guizhou plateau uplift tilting type, resulting in Chishui Danxia landform development to rejuvenate direction. Sichuan Basin is strongly squeeze, squeeze the edge region is particularly strong. Since the Sichuan Basin more rigid, fold poorly developed, not rise, dip is mild in most areas, but steep ha X joints are well developed. Jurassic Chishui Danxia where the southern edge of Sichuan Basin region, Cretaceous red beds by the impact of rapid uplift Guizhou Plateau, a significant increase occurred. Guizhou Plateau and the Sichuan Basin elevation on the terrain of the widening. Chishui River and its tributaries affected by the strong cut, resulting in the development of inheritance, and along the large joints create a deep canyon, the ancient planation Tertiary formation began to disintegrate. But cut erosion of time is not long, not deep valley, many parts of the plateau surface also retains a large contiguous area, surrounded by terraces due to the effect of gravitational collapse, began to develop some cliffs, but not large height.

• youth Danxia Phase II

With the cut Chishui River and its tributaries Danxia landform to deep sexual development. Peak height of the core area of ​​the eastern part of the basic agreement (1400 to 1500 m), the ancient planation surface can still be seen, the original mountain canyon Danxia landscape is very typical. "V" shaped Danxia ravine number increased significantly, compared with the previous stage is much larger depth of groove bottom to the top of the relative height generally up to several hundred meters. Chishui Danxia Danxia cliff as a representative of both the quantity and the landscape is also highly respect, compared with the previous stage have great development, up to several hundred meters Danya everywhere. Western youth in the early stages of rejuvenation and development, watershed area retains a large surface area of ​​the plateau, but the surrounding areas have begun to suffer from more intense cutting tends to break, but the depth and spatial distribution of the density of the canyon and far eastern part of the core area, shape on a typical highland canyon landform, eastern and central regions form a more obvious contrast space.

restoration of historical

2006 December 12, Chishui Danxia start preparatory work.

With UNESCO, 2008 July 23 held the World Heritage Management Seminar and the exchange of experts will be in Beijing on the occasion, Li Guangrong rate Fu Yuliang, Chishui party secretary Mu Rong-kun and the officer went to Beijing, respectively tied to the main Executive Board of UNESCO, Mr. Xi Yayi and other reports Chishui Danxia landform application for the world natural heritage work progress. They said they would support and help Chishui Danxia landform bundled World Natural Heritage.

October 16, 2008, the Office of People's Government of Guizhou province to declare the establishment of China Danxia World Natural Heritage Leading Group, deputy governor of Xin Weiguang headed.

2009 Nian 3 2 March, the World Heritage Center formally accepted the China Danxia World Natural Heritage nomination project and commissioned the World Conservation Union (IUCN) to China six Danxia inspect evaluate nominations.

2010 Nian 1 Yue 15 Ri IUCN experts made additional recommendations to China Danxia project.

geographical

location area

Red Danxia core area of ​​273.64 square kilometers, buffer 448.14 square kilometers, the total area of ​​721.78 square kilometers. China Danxia is the largest project in the area of ​​Danxia landscape.

Heritage between longitude 105 ° 42'30 "to 106 ° 10'50", between latitude 28 ° 17'51 "to 28 ° 31'38", a total area of ​​721.78 square kilometers heritage the core and buffer zones were 273.64 km2 and 448.14 km2. To Chishui River as the boundary, heritage sites are divided into East and West Area, Chishui Danxia (West) area of ​​101.42 square kilometers, the center coordinates for longitude 105 ° 47'39 ", latitude 28 ° 22'11"; Chishui Danxia (East) area of ​​172.22 square kilometers, the center point coordinates of longitude 106 ° 2'33 ", latitude 28 ° 25'19".

terrain

Chishui Danxia is located in China's largest red bed basin - the southern edge of Sichuan Basin, located in the transition zone between Guizhou Plateau and the Sichuan Basin. Chishui Danxia landform development at an early stage of development rejuvenation youth, local canyons, cliffs, streams, waterfalls throughout, landform mainly in highland canyon and mountain canyons original type-based, deep canyons, the ground broken, undulating terrain. The highest elevation of about 1730 meters, at least 240 m, the relative height of nearly 1500 m, 1600 to 1700 meters exist, 1400 ~ 1500 m, 1200 to 1300 m, 1000 m and 900 ~ 300 ~ 2,500 m multi-level terrain surface. Cretaceous Jiading group is the most core material basis Chishui landform development to lacustrine thick massive red sandstone siltstone, rock hard, strong corrosion resistance, the vertical joint development, development of multi-like valleys cliff tall and majestic Danxia landform. Jurassic to fuchsia, purple gray sandstone, mudstone, shale lithology is relatively soft, corrosion resistance is weak, mainly denudation - erosion landforms Hongyan low mountains, hills, etc, the gentle slope.
