Textual description of the boundary(ies) of the nominated property |
As one of nominated sites in Danxia Zhejiang area of China, Mount Jianglang consists of typical Danxia landform and its physical geography elements with complete and continuous 708 ha area.
Mount Jianglang nominated site as a whole borders as the ridge line, the valley line, rivers, and other natural lines; due to coincidence boundary between buffer zone and Mount Jianglang scenic spots, so they basically border as the above-mentioned natural borderline and a part of them border as road and land classification. Strict protection shall be conducted in the scenic spots with a clear demarcation with the same boundary to nominated site and the buffer zone.
Nominated site scope refers to connected natural areas centering on the typical Danxia landform to maintain the integrity of Danxia landform and forest ecosystems as well as the integrity of rare and endangered species ecological environment.

Justification Statement of Outstanding Universal Value |
1. Important scientific value
During the Cretaceous Period, the most conspicuous geological event of the Southeast China was the volcanic events in Early Cretaceous, the Faulting Depression event in middle Cretaceous and the uplifting event in the early stage of Late Cretaceous. The volcanic rock series, the gray lithic part, adding the lower class of molasse formation(faulting depression rock suite) and the upper class of molasse formation in the Xiakou Basin, bearing the typical lithologic features, widespreadness as well as the isochroneity, enable them to be the perfect mark layers for regional comparison.
Jianglangshan belongs to the old stage of Danxia Landform, whose Three Pieces of Stone is still erupting while the other red stones of Cretaceous in the surrounding areas had been eroded to lower land. The reason of this is closely related to the lithologic characters of the Three Pieces of Stone. After the Cretaceous sedimentary of the Fangyan Formation, the speed of accumulation decreased and the action of the deep-seated fault lasted long, with the upwelling of magma which intruded in the Fangyan Formation forming the pluton of dolerite, trachyte, andesite and olive-basalt, in the form of vein. As a result, these rocks are mainly made up of volcanic debris, which experienced the volcanic process of high temperature as to be quenched, leading to the high resistance in erosion. On the other hand, the vein of dolerite, trachyte, andesite and olivin-basalt bedding in the three-part-stone, bear the unique ophitic-intergranular texture as well as the plagioclase and black minerals grouping, forming the rocks of high resistance ability in erosion, just as the effect of consolidating the steel in the cement concrete. The phenomenon is rare in other Danxia Landform of the foreign countries, which deserves the research in lithology.
The reaction of the platform: on the basis of topography, the three-part-stone of Jianglangshan is elevated about 800m, while Danengxia and Xiaonengxia are about 500m (Fig.3-1), showing two different planation surfaces at different elevation. Meanwhile there are wide alluvial plains in the areas of Shimen, northwestern wing of Jianglangshan, as well as Jianglangjie and Ya Peak, western wing of Jianglangshan t, indicating that the crust of this region is relatively steady in the recent period. However, there are second-class river terraces at the relative altitudes of 4.8m and 8.0m, indicating that there was still lifting action in recent period in the region of Jianglangshan, which perhaps belongs to the reaction of platform. It can be called that the Three Pieces of Stone is the witnesses of the "two-generation" or "three-generation", even "four-generation". As a result, the complexity and uniqueness of the development process of the Danxia Landform in Jianglangshan deserves further research.
2. Unique Value of Landscape Aesthetics
The most featured spots of Jianglang Danxia Land Form are Three Stones Hill Group, Yixiantian Valley and Danxia Stone Wall Made up of Three Pieces Stones. Jianglangshan is the top scenery in Danxia Landform with profound science meaning and educational value in research and geology education. At the same time, the scenery spot is full of aesthetic meaning and natural beauty.
Jianglangshan meets Chinese traditional concept of landscape, which stresses the harmony between human and natural. Jianglangshan bears a rare, beautiful ※scenery resources§.
The combination landscape elements of Jianglangshan are expressed by aesthetic appreciation. The most important one of them is amazement.
The composing elements of landscape are diversity from macro to micro, from material background and stone characteristics. Though the styles are changeable, they meet principle of beauty in form. All landscape of Jianglangshan are united under the theme of formation of Danxia Land Form and Three Pieces of Stone.
