    Abstract:

    Mountain Sanqing area (or the Sanqingshan area) is situated at the suture zone between Yangze Paleoplate and Cathaysia Paleoplate in the southeast of Eurasian plate , with one billion years' evolution history of geological structure. The geoheritages are abundant within the area, especially the serial geoheritages related to the granite, rarely seen in the world. There have been preserved heritages formed as a result of collision between paleoocean and paleoplate, such as the middle and Neoproterozoic ophiolite—melange,oceanic plagiogranite and glaucophane schist,etc. During the Mesozoic period, ISAtype granites formed by the intracontinental “A” type subduction are characterized by the complete evolution sequence and typical features. At the same time, a largescale of granite metallization occurred, thus forming the polymetallic orefield dominated by copper and gold, wellknown in the world. Three superlarge deposits of copper,gold and tantalum—niobium as well as several largescale metallogenic deposits have been proved. The area is an important scientific spot to study granite, especially the granite within the intracontinental deep subduction orogenic belt. Mount Sanqing is not only a nutural museum of granite microlandforms, but also an outstanding representative in the global granite landforms thanks to its various types and peculiar strangely shaped granite microlandforms. Mount Sanqing area is a worthy ideal basement for geoscientific research, with the advantages for constructing the geoscientific park with Mount Sanqing as the cetre, and with the range of 20~50km as the radium. It can be divided into seven geoscientific parks based on the geological natural heritage types and the features of spacial distribution, namely; Mount Sanqingtype granite geological landscape spot, Huaiyushantype granite geological landscape spot, Lingshantype granite geological landscape spot, Sanqing lake karst landscape spot, Dexing mine geopark spot, Zhangcun—Zhangshudun Neoproterozoic plate strucutre landscape spot and Yushan—Changshan Jindingzi stratigraphic paleontologic landscape spot.
