Its bizarrerie spreads across a mountain of over 3,000 mu (about 200 hectares) in Paila Village, Youma Village, Huanggua Village, Paidakou Village, Pojiao Village and Hangdu Village. The naturally denuded red rocks stand in various poses, presenting great value of tourism.The grand geological wonder is the result of approximately 500 million years of crustal movement as well as the intrusion and corrosion of carbonates, mud, and sand deposited at the sea floor.
