Shangluo · Cuishan Mountain
Cuihua Mountain is located in Chang'an District, Xi'an, just 40 km away. As a National and World Geological Park, it is renowned for its unique collapse landforms.
Spectacular Landslide
Cuihua Mountain features China's largest and best-preserved rockfall site. A powerful earthquake approximately 2000 years ago triggered a massive landslide, creating spectacular landscapes such as the Tianchi dammed lake, a sea of collapsed rocks, and broken peaks with sheer cliffs. It is hailed as the "Museum of Rockfall Landforms."
Scenic Tianchi
Tianchi is a natural dammed lake formed by a landslide, with jade-green waters surrounded by dramatic peaks. Boating on the lake reveals reflections of jagged rocks and lush pines in the water. The Ice Cave and Wind Cave are natural caverns within the landslide deposits; they feel icy cold even in midsummer, yet remain warm as spring in winter.
