Red Cliff Ancient Relics

Red Cliff Ancient Relics

The Red Cliff Ancient Relics are a protected cultural heritage site of Guizhou Province.

The Red Cliff Ancient Relics are located on Shaijia Mountain in Guanling Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou Province, about 7 kilometers from the Huangguoshu Waterfall.

The Red Cliff Ancient Relics (Red Cliff Stele) are hailed as the "No. 1 Miracle in Central Guizhou" and feature mysterious inscriptions emerging from the russet-red cliff face. Locals have lived with them for generations but have never understood their meaning, leading to their reputation as the "Heavenly Book," an eternal mystery. Since the Qing Dynasty, scholars from China and abroad have conducted research and investigations here, sparking repeated waves of attempts to decode the text, creating the internationally renowned phenomenon known as "Red Cliff Culture."
