Abstract:The Sanqing Mountain granite formed in the late Yanshanian period, and after its emplacement, the granite experienced about about 50 Ma of erosion and denudation. As a result, the 5000 m thick overlying strata were transported to downfaulted basins at its northern and southern sides, thus forming Cretaceous red sandstone and sandy conglomerate, and then the granite was exposed subaerially. Afterwards, the granite again experienced about 50~60 Ma of tectonic and geomorphologic evolution, thus forming the present Yujingfengaged matureland 1600~1800 m above sea level and Huaiyushanaged matureland 1200~1300 m above sea level. In the Pliocene, 24 Ma BP, red weathering crust was developed on the paleolands of the two phases, with many “stone eggs” formed in the lowlying part of the red weathering crust. In the Pleistocene, valleys and gullies on the paleolandform eroded downward rapidly with strong crustal uplifting and cooling, frost weathering, block movements and fluvial erosion. Thus the paleolands were cut and destructed and the weathering crust was also eroded away, forming a landscape of deepincised valleys, steep cliffs and stone columns and peaks standing upright as trees, with some granite “eggs” still remaining on the top of these stone columns and peaks. Such a highmountain landform with altitudes of more than 1500 m above sea level and a relative height difference of more than 1000 m is very magnificent and tall stone columns and pointed peaks look very beautiful. Those are just the features of the Sanqing Mountaintype granite landformthe high mountain and pointed peak landform. They form the main granite landscape from which tourists may get a great deal of enjoyment and are also an important geoheritage for which effective protection measures should be taken.
