It is said that when Shun, a legendary monarch in ancient China, passed by the mountain, he felt the mountains and rivers here were so wonderful, so he entitled the mountain with a Chinese character - Lang, meaning “good mountains”.
Langshan Mountain is famous for its unique Danxia landform.
Among the more than 1,100 Danxia landforms discovered in China, Langshan Mountain is one of the most beautiful, complete, distinctive and abundant distribution area of Danxia landform. It is praised as “the soul of Danxia and the treasure of the country” by Academician Chen Guoda, a famous geologist.
Among the 11 national 5A scenic areas in Hunan, Langshan Mountain is also magnificent.
In August 2010, at the 34th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, the Danxia landform of Langshan Mountain in China was successfully included in the World Heritage List, becoming the eighth world natural heritage project in China and the second in Hunan, thus forming a tourism development pattern of “Zhangjiajie in the north and Langshan Mountain in the south” in Hunan.
Langshan Mountain was officially promoted to a national 5A scenic area in August 2016, becoming the most popular cultural tourism attraction in Shaoyang City.
At present, Langshan Mountain, with six scenic spots such as Tianyi Lane, Chili Peak, Bajiaozhai, Fuyi River, Zixia Cave and Tiansheng Bridge, is a typical mountainous scenic area.
