Introduction to Wushan County

Wushan County is located at the junction of three major tectonic systems: the Dabashan Arc Structure, the Eastern Sichuan Fold Belt, and the Sichuan-Hunan-Guizhou Uplift Fold Belt. The Yangtze River runs from east to west, and seven tributaries, including the Daning River and Baolong River, run north to south. It cuts strongly downward, and the landform is in the form of alternating deep valleys and medium-low mountains. The terrain is highly undulating and the slopes are steep. The altitude of the valley bottom is mostly within 300 meters, and the bank slope is at most more than 1,000 meters.

The exposed strata in the area are sedimentary rock strata, which are exposed from the Cambrian to the Jurassic. The Quaternary is also scattered sporadically. The rock layers are soft and hard, and the secondary folds and fault structures are well developed. , the structural geological background is complex. Because the three major mountain ranges of Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain and Qiyao Mountain meet in Wushan County, they form a typical karst landform, with the lowest altitude only 73.1 meters and the highest altitude 2,680 meters.
