  If the red cliffs and danxia landscapes are the most common features of Danxiashan, then the lifelike sculpted landforms are the most amazing aspect here. In the dense forest, there is a rock that is 10.4 meters high and 4.3 meters wide. The upper part is a 1.5-meter-thick conglomerate that has weathered into a rounded cone shape, while the lower part is over 3 meters thick with red sandstone, where a vertical crack has developed. The surrounding rock has fallen and deformed due to differential weathering, and an ordinary interlayer fissure has evolved into a landscape feature that closely resembles a female genitalia, known as Yinyuanshi Rock (Female Rock). It is acclaimed as one of the six wonders of Danxiashan.
