Taining

Taining County is located in northwest Fujian, to the southeast of the Shanling Mountains that branch off from the center of the Wuyi range. The Taining Global Geopark is the collective designation for all the county's danxia scenery (a red rock cliff landform unique to China). This comprises the scenic areas of Dajin Lake (“Big Golden Lake”), Baxian Cliff (“Eight Divinities Cliff”), Jinrao Mountain (“Gold-Rich Mountain”), and Taining Ancient City. Taining was once the military command center of China’s revolution and is one of China’s “Hundred Classic Red Tourist Areas.”
