Qinglan Geological Park

Qinglan Geological Park

Qinglan Geological Park is a national A-level tourist attraction.

Situated just 5 kilometers from the Lüdao Tourist Villa in Raoping County, Qinglan Geological Park is a provincial-level geological park. Through expert research, it was astonishingly revealed that this area, spanning hundreds of square kilometers, was once a vast ocean 200 million years ago. Volcanic movements gave rise to the extraordinary geological formations we see today. Nature’s exquisite artistry has created the Qinglan region’s distinctive and magnificent typical granite landforms, including caves, stone forests, mountain peaks, gorges, and pothole clusters. The rare granite caves, hailed as a groundbreaking discovery found nowhere else, are truly one of a kind in China. Stepping into the caves, you’ll hear the clear, melodious sound of spring water trickling through. Every rock holds historical significance, and every cave tells a legendary tale. The miraculous work of nature has forged the park’s naturally spectacular features characterized by grandeur, wonder, danger, and beauty. The “mimetoliths” (nature-shaped rocks) come in countless vivid forms rich with profound meaning. Meanwhile, thousands of potholes of various sizes and shapes dot the river valley—some resembling ice pits, others like pot holes. Raoping Qinglan Geological Park is a natural wonderland shaped over hundreds of millions of years. Come explore these breathtaking wonders of nature and awaken your lasting awe and admiration for the natural world.
