Xiangxi Global Geopark

Located at the hinterland of Wuling Mountains in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, Xiangxi Global Geopark is characterized by undulating terrain and intense incision. There are some 82 types of rocks scattered across the site, dominated by sedimentary rocks, which form the site's main landscape. It also houses a total population of 296,000, among whom over 80 percent are ethnic minorities, mainly Tujia and Miao people.

Xiangxi Global Geopark signs an agreement with Malaysia's Langkawi Global Geopark to establish friendship ties in 2024. The Malaysian geopark becomes another sister park to Xiangxi Global Geopark, following Satun World Geopark in Thailand, and M'Goun and Ngorongoro Lengai Global Geoparks in Africa.
