Language:
Wugongshan UNESCO Global Geopark is located at the junction of three cities, Pingxiang, Yichun, and Ji'an, in the west of Jiangxi Province. It is characterized by fascinating geological landscapes including Jurassic granite 'stone forests’, alpine meadows growing on the weathered Silurian granitic gneiss, and hot springs. The geopark is rich in well-preserved geological heritage, making it a crucial site for studying the early formation of the South China Block and subsequent intracontinental compression and extension.
