The geomorphic investigation is one of the traditional methods of regional geomorphology study. Through large-scale field investigation,collecting first-hand datas,combining with laboratory parameters,it can solve many scientific problems in Danxia research,such as the spatial structure,morphological characteristics and classifica-tion,the internal and external dynamic mechanism of landform development,the development and protection of the landscape resources. It is differences in the characteristics of landform shaped by continental red beds and the ma-rine red beds. Through the analysis of the regional redbasins,sedimentary rhythm of redbeds and evolution of the basin are analyzed. The main external dynamic factors of the Danxia landform and the cultural landscape are ana-lyzed in the papaer. With the development of the Danxia landform research and protection ,it has a wide area dis-tribution in the world and becoming more and more obvious. Chinese scientists named and took the lead in China to carry out large-scale investigation and research in Danxia. With its natural and cultural heritage value more and more recognized by the community,Danxia landform is becoming a hot spot in the development and utilization of landscape resources and interesting research areas in the petrographic geomorphoiogy.
