Historical sources

fire

Yanshan Nature Reserve belongs to Quaternary platform accumulation in geology, which is the product of intense orogeny. Its rock layer is mainly composed of thick gravel, intercalated with thin sandstone, with weak cementation. Due to continuous weathering and erosion, the terrain is fragmented, and the cutting surface is often very flat due to the erosion of rainwater, so the combination of sharp peaks and deep valleys are formed in appearance It's a scene full of soft pebbles. If you look at it from the south to the north, you can better show its magnificent landscape. Sometimes there is no water in the south mountain stream, which looks like a pebble river. At the mouth of the valley, "gravel alluvial fan" is formed, which becomes a very special landform. Especially in the afterglow of the setting sun, the whole mountain looks red, as if the flame is beating, so it is called "Huoyan mountain".

Because of the attraction of this airflow, the Griffin stays on Huoyan mountain to forage, forming an interesting and warm picture.
