Danxia Mountain meaning Red Rosy Clouds Mountain, is a famous scenic area near Shaoguan city in the northern part of Guangdong Province. The area is formed from a reddish sandstone which has been eroded over time into a series of mountains surrounded by curvaceous cliffs and many unusual rock formations (Danxia Landform). There are a number of temples located on the mountains and many scenic walks. There is also a river winding through the mountains on which boat trips can be taken to enjoy the scenery. Particularly noted are two formations: a stone pillar called the Yangyuan (male/father stone) that bears a resemblance to a phallus and the Yinyuan hole, which somewhat resembles labia.
