Lushan UNESCO Global Geopark covers an area of 500 km2 in Jiangxi Province, Eastern China. Lushan UNESCO Global Geopark is just located at the boundary between the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, belonging to the north of Jiangxi province, China. The great Yangtze River, the vast Poyang Lake and the beautiful Lushan Mountain come together to form a magnificent view. Lushan UNESCO Global Geopark is a unique multi-genetic complex landscape made up of typical east China mountain quaternary glaciations, horst fault-blocking, metamorphic core complex structures and water erosion landforms. Lushan’s geological development can represent basic rules of three stages of the earth’s development history: the quaternary glaciation study on Lushan started by the renowned Chinese geologist J.S. Lee attracted worldwide attention; the centre of Lushan UNESCO Global Geopark is the MCC structure, the various patterns and styles of the extending structure here are rare. The east and west sides of the mountain are shaped by the cliffs. The west cliffs are a set of high-angle normal faults while the east cliffs are formed by vertical shearing planes. This kind of block mountain is rare globally. Mount Lushan is a fault-block mountain that resulted from millions of years of tectonic movement, glacial erosion and weathering. Its history of glaciers is particularly important as it contains more than 100 important geologic sites which completely record the process of glacial evolution and provide an important record of palaeoclimatic change. Because it is similar to Quaternary glacial sites in Europe and North America, this record is of value for correlating data and advancing research on global palaeoclimatic change. The vegetation and biological diversity of Mount Lushan contribute to its beauty and aesthetic value.
