三清山——中国的隐秘财宝

三清山地块地处中国东南部，具有独特的高山地貌，并以其特殊的群峰地貌而著称。基岩由白垩纪花岗岩侵入体组成。大规模发育的垂直节理导致形成高大的圆锥状的山峰、石塔、石柱和陡坡、峭壁，高度可达300m。山峰之间的峡谷和裂缝发育于强断裂带。巨大的高差形成了垂直地域植被分带。三清山具备国家公园和地质公园的条件。现在，正在努力把三清山向联合国教科文组织提名为世界遗产。

Sanqingshan -the Hidden Treasure of China

The Sanqingshan massif in south-east China is an area of unique high-mountain landscape, distinguished by an exceptional assemblage of geomorphological phenomena. Bedrock consists of granite intrusion of Cretaceous age. The predomhinance of vertical joints plays decisive role in the origin and evolution of high conical peaks and rock pinnacles, columns, and precipitous slopes as high as 300 m. Intervening ravines and clefts have developed along heavily fractured zones. High altitude gradients allowed for the development of a zonal vegetation pattern. Sanqingshan has a status of a national park and a geopark. Currently an attempt is made to nominate Sanqingshan as a World Heritage Site of UNESCO.
