Garden experts call it "Natural Landscape Gallery". The stratigraphic structure of Hongshi Valley, from top to bottom, is Ordovician limestone 400 million years ago, Cambrian limestone 470-510 million years ago, and Mesoproterozoic purple-red quartz sandstone from 10 to 1.4 billion years ago. In addition, in Bailongtan in Hongshi Valley, geologists also discovered zircons 3.4 billion years ago, which is the oldest rock ever found on earth. There are geological relics such as angular unconformity, corrugated stone, Danya broken wall, tortoise rock, angular unconformity and so on. After visiting the scenic spot, Dr. Ide, Director of the Department of Earth Sciences of UNESCO, lamented: “I have to admit that Yuntai Mountain is a unique and incomparable geopark. It gave me the impression of a piece of music, a song of Bedo. Fern's symphony is one of the most beautiful landscape symphony.

He lived to 338 years old and still walked like flying. The landform feature of the "U"-shaped cliff wall of Tanpuxia is the result of the combined action of surface water and groundwater.
