Mount Cuihua and Mount Ganqiu are the most severely damaged mountains in the Mount Cuihua scenic area. Mount Cuihua stands 1,414 metres above sea level and is surrounded by peak remains left after landslides. These remains are of medium sizes with pointed peaks sticking up into the sky, which forms a unique granite peak ridge landscape. Right next to Mount Cuihua there is a ruinous peak with nearly vertical slopes. It stands solitary with an air of pride and defiance. The precipitous severed cliffs of Mount Cuihua are over 200 metres high. Being one of the landslide epicentres, it has large quantities of debris from the landslide accumulated at its bottom. Mount Ganqiu, another landslide epicentre, is 2,145 metres above sea level. A mountain range nearby of 1,500 metres long, 260-900 metres wide and more than 400 metres high collapsed on the spot to form a vast area of colluvial deposits. Cliffs are a common sight in the Mount Cuihua Region. The Yingya Waterfall, for example, is a man-made waterfall based on the 60-metre high precipice.
