The development of Danxia landform began in the Himalayan orogenic movement in the late Tertiary. This movement caused part of the red strata to tilt and fold gently, and uplift the red basin to form an outflow area. Flowing water concentrates on low-lying places in the middle of the basin, and erodes along the vertical joints of the rock formations, forming two vertical deep gullies called lane valleys.
