Buddha Light Rock Scenic Spot


Buddha Light Rock Scenic Spot, known as “the best example of Danxia landforms in the world”,  is arc shaped and also the symbol attraction of the Chishui Danxia Lnadmark Scenic Area. The arc is 1,117 m long, and the drop height is 385m.


What to see?
The rock formed as early as in the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. It looks like a red wordless book from heaven opened in the air coloured red using the blood of dinosaurs right before their extinction. 
Buddha Light Rock Waterfall
In the middle of the Buddha Light Rock is a 269 meters and 42 meters wide waterfall, looking like a little white dragon flying down from red clouds. In the afternoon, when the sun shines on the Buddha Light Rock, the red cliff and the snow-white waterfall will blend into a whole, and a five coloured halo will appear in the white clouds crowning the cliff.

Five-Pillar Peaks
The Five-Pillar Peaks is composed of five large Danxia pillars separated partly from the mother rock. The height of the pillars is about ten meters, and these five pillars look from afar like a giant palm, vividly. The formation of The Five-Pillar Peaks is the outcome of rock collapse along joints. Various sizes of X-shaped vertical joints have developed well with the gentle and hard rock formations. Additionally,

The Five-Pillar Peaks is located in one side of the steep valley. Rocks on the two sides collapsed since the pressure release and the deep incised valley, then formed the initial developmental Danxia stone peak. Gravitational collapse makes the movement form unique pillar landscapes among the joints. The red pillars are gorgeous and dazzling like rosy clouds, instead, the green forest is very lush and thick. The combination of these two natural colors show vitality, like the pulse of nature powerfully beating, and is of high aesthetic value.
