Jianglang Mountain, located in Quzhou city, East China's Zhejiang province, is renowned for its majestic and picturesque scenery and is a national key scenic area and a national 5A-level tourist attraction, being inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of "China Danxia".

China's Danxia landform sites are a series of striking red-rock formations shaped by erosion and tectonic uplift.

The most remarkable feature of its scenery is the "Three Pieces of Stone", which refers to the three peaks — Langfeng, Yafeng, and Lingfeng. These Danxia landform pillars, exceeding 300 meters in height, are uniquely arranged in the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Winding pathways link the three peaks. In fact, a grand viewing platform between Langfeng Peak and Yafeng Peak offers mesmerizing dawn views, where three peaks enveloped in mist soar high into the clouds.

A notable feature is what's called the "Thin Strip of Sky" between Yafeng Peak and Lingfeng Peak — a narrow passage with the narrowest part only 3.5 meters wide, acclaimed as the most remarkable of its kind in China. The steep, vertical path is flanked by sheer cliffs, leaving a thin strip of sky visible.

Jianglang Mountain has inspired scholars in ancient China, including Ming dynasty (1368–1644) geographer Xu Xiake, who visited three times and praised its grandeur.
