Danxia landform is a kind of "red bed landform" named by geologists in China in the 1920s and first studied, that is, Chibi landform in Ya Dan. It developed on the horizontal or gently inclined thick-layer red glutenite from Jurassic to Tertiary. Due to hydraulic erosion, weathering, peeling and collapse along the vertical joints of the strata, square hills, stone walls, stone peaks and stone pillars were formed, with flat top, steep body and gentle foothills, which is called Danxia landform. Simply put, it is "the red clastic rock landform with steep cliffs and mainly gravel". Because this landform was first studied in Danxia Mountain, Renhua County, Guangdong Province, it is called "Danxia Landform". The rock composition of Danxia landform contains a lot of iron oxide and manganese oxide which are not easy to lose. These two red mineral elements are insoluble in water and have the lowest activity, forming a vivid Danxia.

Due to regional and vertical differences, the scenic spot has obvious regional climate and vegetation characteristics: large temperature difference, obvious three-dimensional climate (hot under the mountain and cool at the top of the mountain in summer), extreme temperature (the highest temperature is 41.3, the lowest temperature is -4.5), heavy rainfall (the average annual rainfall is about 1000mm), short frost-free period (about 260 days), and hail in summer.

Swallow Cave is a natural cave, with a height of more than 30 meters and a width of more than 70 meters, just like a flaming stone palace.

Surprisingly, due to wind and rain erosion, so many stone nests have been formed on the rock wall. Thousands of swallows used to live here in the past. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, so they become their home in and out, hence the name of Yanzi Rock.

Swallow Waterfall is 87 meters high, because there are often groups of swallows flying in and out on the rock wall in the Mid-Levels, so it is called Swallow Waterfall by the villagers.

The flowing water cuts the canyon mercilessly and arbitrarily with the knife of years, forming rows of vertical broken ridges and steep cliffs. Together with the virgin forest that has never been reclaimed, it has cultivated rich water sources, thus creating a waterfall landscape that runs down.
