Zhangjiajie, wellknown for its spectacular sandstone landforms, has been the subject of geomorphologists and geologists for decades. Prior to our present study, however, little is known about the timing of these spectacular sandstone landforms. Integrating the geomorphological, sedimentological and geochronological techniques, the correlations between sandstone landforms, fluvial terraces and karst caves have been investigated. Our results indicate that three terrace levels are well developed in the Suoxi River, with terrace level T4 locally emerging in the middle Suoxi catchment. Huanglong Cave, a typical karst cave in the study area, can be divided into four vertical levels, with the gravel layer occurring in the topmost level. Sedimentological analysis indicates an allochthonous source for the gravels, which have been formed under a warm and humid environment in Middle Pleistocene. Four primary geomorphic levels are distinctive in the Zhangjiajie sandstone landforms, displaying a good geomorphic correlation with the alluvial terraces and Huanglong Cave in the middle—lower reaches of the Suoxi River. We thus can infer the timing of sandstone landforms formation in Zhangjiajie at Middle Pleistocene.This landform is in the period from adolescence to maturity, showing relatively stability. In the process of Geopark constructing, tourism resources should be utilized and protected properly, allowing scientific protection and sustainable management.
