Historical culture
Gesara Ecotourism Area belongs to the western edge of Panxi Rift Valley in geotectonics. The basic process of tectonic evolution of Panxi Great Rift Valley is: dome-forming uplift in Late Paleozoic (Silurian-Devonian) accompanied by intrusion of basic, ultrabasic layered rock mass and small annular alkaline complex; late Permian continental crust rupture accompanied by large-scale eruption of Emeishan basalt, followed by intrusion or eruption of alkali (acid) A-type annular complex; fault depression and accumulation on both sides of Late Triassic rift belt. Huge thick molasses-like red sandy conglomerate formation; Jurassic-Cretaceous comprehensive depression with extensive deposition of fluvial-lacustrine red sandy mudstone; Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary rift atrophy, which limited the deposition of gypsum-bearing sandy mudstone and marl in the lake basin; Late Tertiary, the strong Himalayan orogenic movement squeezed from west to east, and the rift closed and disappeared. Due to the differential uplift and subsidence of the Quaternary neotectonic movement, a cliff with a length of tens of kilometers has been formed along the Yankou-Wafa line, which divides the area into two major geomorphic units. The upper part of Xiyan is a high mountain and hilly plateau area with an elevation of 2600-3300 M. Tiankeng, ground leakage and karst caves are developed, which have a strange mountain scenery of the plateau. The lower part of Dongyan is a Zhongshan Canyon area with an elevation of 1500-2600 M. The main scenic spots are canyons and waterfalls.
