It is made up with rigid purplish-red thick gravel-sand terrain effloresced and eroded by the underground water, while the terrain had been accumulated from the late period of Cretace to the Red Stone Group of Third Age. That is why there are so many fantastic scenic spots like marvelous peaks and crags, green forests, old trees, blue waters and red hills,. Tourists can easily see 100-150 metres' long cliff and “A-rift-of-the-sky” in the area. |
