ABSTRACT: The South Sichuan is one of the areas in China famous for Danxia Landform.
Danxia Landform in the South Sichuan is characterized by wide distribution
and square shaped hills. However, there is no systematic research on the
genesis of those Danxia Landforms at present. Based on the study of spatial
distribution and the genesis of the Danxia Landforms in the South Sichuan,
we discovered that the lithostratigraphy, regional tectonic, crustal uplift and
external forces contribute together to the formation of the Danxia Landform.
On the basis of learning the development experiences from famous scenic
spots and the updated national policies and regulations, proposals were made
to boost the development of Danxia Landform resources in the South Sichuan
by excavating its historic, cultural, natural and scientific connotation in the
form of educational tourism.
