National 5A Scenic AreaCentral China
Yuntai Mountain (Yuntaishan)
云台山 · Henan, Jiaozuo
A dramatic gorge and waterfall geopark in the Taihang Mountains, popular for its cliff trails.
Yuntai Mountain is a national geopark known for the narrow, towering Red Rock Gorge (Hongshi Xia), its sapphire pools and high waterfalls, including the 314-metre Yuntai Sky Fall. Walkways cling to cliff faces above clear streams, and the mountain blends steep Taihang peaks, forest and dramatic geology close to the North China plain.
The gorges and waterfalls were carved through Precambrian red sandstone over long geological time, a landscape protected and developed as a scenic area from the 1980s. Yuntai became one of China's earliest national 5A scenic areas and a UNESCO Global Geopark, drawing large crowds for its accessible but spectacular gorge walks.
