Located in Qingyang County in east China's Anhui Province, Jiuhuashan Geopark is famous for its stunning granite landscapes. The place was designated as a Geopark by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) earlier this year. Besides its cultural and religious significance, the site also provides an abundant fresh water resource for the Yangtze River system.
