This is a Geography for Travelers Podcast related post (click on the title above to open the .mp3 file)Danxiashan is a sandstone mountain region adjacent to the city of Shaoguan in northern Guangdong Province in China (north of Hong Kong). The landform is similar to the sandstone regions of northern Arizona (Sedona) and southern Utah, but in a subtropical vegetation zone.
I was at the Danxiashan World Geopark last week and recorded this week's Geography for Travelers Podcast while hiking around on the top of one of the more visited peaks.
My photos of Danxiashan and the surrounding area can be found here:

Notes:- Due to time constraints we did not go to Danxiashan's two most famous rock formations -- the male rock and female rock. A search on those terms will find photos of these two less-than-family-suitable stone formations.
- This soundseeing tour was recorded on my Zoom H4 stereo recorder. Wear earphones for the best experience.
