Chishui(CNTV)

Chishui is a typical representation of Danxia geological evolution in the early stages among China’s Danxia landform nomination sites that had applied for World Natural Heritage. Chishui is located in China’s largest Danxia distribution region in the junction of the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The intense uplift of the plateau and the severe regressive erosion of water caused a dramatic contrast of landforms.

It developed the most typical ladder-type valley and the most spectacular Danxia waterfalls, and has become the representative of a plateau-canyon Danxia landscape in its early development stages. The nomination site maintains the most complete and representative forest ecosystem and biodiversity in the middle subtropical zone and formed Danxia landscapes that combines water, waterfalls, mountains and forests. It also meets the standards (VII), (VIII), (IX) and (X) for selecting world natural heritage.
