(250411) -- XINING, April 11, 2025 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on Oct. 1, 2023 shows a view of the Kanbula National Geopark in Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Qinghai Province.
The National Forestry and Grassland Administration announced on Friday that two geoparks in China, one in northwest China's Qinghai Province and another in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, have been granted the title of UNESCO Global Geopark.
With these new additions, China now boasts 49 UNESCO Global Geoparks, more than any other countries in the world.
Located in northwest China's Qinghai, the Kanbula National Geopark spans roughly 3,149 square kilometers. Its striking Danxia landforms, towering peaks, hidden caves, and emerald lakes make it a prime location for geoscientific research and public science education. (Photo by Yangel Dongrub/Xinhua)
