Geology and geomorphology

Both sides of Maoyan River are dominated by karst landforms, and there are sand cliff peak forest landforms. According to the investigation of geological department, Maoyan River, Wentang and luotaping are ne structures, which are composed of qinganping Yangjiawan syncline. The Cambrian Louguanshan group is exposed in the core of the anticline, and the Triassic Daye Formation is located in the core of the syncline, which is a marine carbonate formation. The rock strata are mainly limestone, dolomite and marlite, with thousands of karst caves on both sides. However, in Maxi, shuangfengya, hanxigou and other places of luotaping Township, the rock stratum is Silurian Devonian quartz sandstone. After long-term wind and rain erosion and deep cutting of streams, there is Zhangjiajie quartz sandstone peak forest landscape.
