Hunan Liuyang Dawei Mountain Geopark is located in the northeast of Liuyang City, Jiangxi Province Tonggu adjacent Liuyang River (a tributary of the Xiangjiang River) upstream. Liuyang away from the urban area 68km, away from the urban area of Changsha 119km, a total area of 193 square kilometers. 2006 5 menstrual approved the establishment of the Hunan Provincial Department.
Since the Quaternary Ice Age, alternating between glacial evolution of the climate, with the decrease in the Quaternary glacial snow line, Daweishan significant increase in the amount of snow, valley glaciers ensue. Glacial plane coming to corrosion, abrasion and dial (TUNNELING) erosion in the main cause ice bin (pit) to the source trough erosion valley slope back, bottom widened. Interglacial warm climate, mainly to water erosion, and transformation of glacial terrain. Water, gas and the like in various microorganisms invade JOINTED granite, i.e. layers of weathering spalling from the table, the unweathered rock inner spherical part, thereby forming a buried type Daweishan stone eggs topography. Dawei Mountain area found only twice since the last Pleistocene valley glaciers that Aunt Ice Age and Ice Age Lushan, and contrast with the Lushan area. Older Aunt glacial relics distributed in 700 ~ 800m elevation down, leading to glacial boulder clay foothills valley, the valley is a double - piedmont glacier; newer Lushan glacial relics distributed in elevation areas above 1200m, glacial boulder clay not reached the foothills of the valley zone, belonging to a hanging glacier cirque compound.
Dawei Mountain Geopark many relics: the angle of peak glacial landforms, fish crest, cirque, icehouse, ice bucket, ice tables, U Valley, Valley gourd, hanging valleys, Moulin, moutonnee landscape is body, accompanied by granite stone eggs and other geological heritage landform. At the same time bears a long history and rich cultural connotations of ecological forest tourism resources. It is divided into the park and resort Qixingling bottom recess - Li two wooden a resort area, and Qiu Baimianshi resort - Dark Tan two two resort area, scenic horsetail canal and bears a three resort - Yang Mei Ridge is a protected area. Dawei Mountain Geopark chain of mountains, hills clouds, flowers, birds brutality, liuquanfeibao peak different stones, fresh air, human and cultural resources. Picturesque natural scenery and ancient glaciers, granite spherical weathering and other geological relics complement each other. Not only is the tourist resort, is the ideal place for geology and popularize scientific knowledge and scientific investigation. Can be developed into tourism, the beautiful adventure, science, science education is one of the good taste Geopark.
