Red Mountain is a symbol of the city of Urumqi. It is the fault of a folding mountain, towering stand in the urban center, mainly due to the mountain from the Permian purple conglomerate structure, named Red Hill. It separated from the Urumqi River and west of Hill Yamalike us from across the sea.
Was east-west mountain, the main peak above sea level 13 1 meter. Whenever the twilight, rock video, red Yi Yi, which got its name. As a result of the mountain like a tiger, the extraordinary momentum, Qiaoyansechi, it is also known as the "Hutou Shan", "Red Mountain mouth." Hongshan and the lack of kilometers away across the Yamalike Hill (commonly known as demons Hill) with confrontation. Yamashita, the Urumqi River north-south North and South. Red legend Tianchi is flying in a red dragon, ground into rock, but not to law-abiding slowly to the Yamalike Paqu Hill, once the closure of the two Shan, the Urumqi River has been blocked, the city put into Wang Yang flooding. As a result, in 1788, Urumqi all Shangan Commission (talk about a superstition of local officials Manchu), then So that the two "dragon" head of the construction of a green-9 "Po Town." Red Hill tower on top of which has been retained, and the hills of Yamalike tower in more than twenty years ago, winds were blown over in recent years before the new repair.
Chia-ching 2004 (1799) has built a Yuhuang Miao, Cimiao "towering temples Chalk terracotta wall ", commonly known as the son of Hongmiao. Foothills also built a large temple, the Beidou Palace, and Temple, and other religious buildings. Officials of the local people boarding a Red Hill to the east," Yao Ji "Bogda customs. After the war, These temples were destroyed in the war. Now the Peak in recent years for the new temple.
The past, by the Urumqi River Flooding, raging disaster, in order to "lock Hill town water", the Qing Emperor Qianlong 1964 (1788) and Qing Shang Commission have ordered the Red Hill in the top of the construction of a 10.5 m high of reunification 9 solid blue "Town pagoda", so far intact. Hongshan pagoda has become a symbol of the city of Urumqi, "Ying-inclined tower "Urumqi has become one of the Eight. After the liberation of the mountain water, wide planting flowers and trees, to build religious pavilion, the provision of a park lake building, floor, building the temple was built to have been built over a total area of 506,000 square meters of the Peak Park. Visitors climb Red Hill in excellent shape, can be majestic panoramic view of Urumqi.
In ago ~ 270,000,000 .25 Million years ago the two Ji Diego, Urumqi is the vast inland along the ancient lake basin, the ancient lake basin in the proliferation of large quantities of ancient fish, amphibians ancient, ancient birds, insects and arthropods as well as the ancient dense Ancient plant. After his death they were buried in sand in a timely manner, through complex geological become fossils have been completely Kept down. Urumqi Hongshan and demons, the area of formation buried in a rich fossil, which was in general Geologic workers and even residents can find convenient and collected. Fossils is an important geological heritage, it reveals the ancient geography of the ecological environment of paleontology and evolution history, but also for a watch The study of tourism resources. Eco-old geographer, Mr. Haitao Hongshan area of the ancient ecological geography more than 20 years of careful study, collected nearly 1,000 pieces of rare ancient \ Health on behalf of the stone, with the exception of cod a large number of ancient, ancient birds, ostracods, the type of gill flap Ancient insects, Lo wood, such as the fern fossils of ancient animals and plants moving, but also found And the population of rare fossils.
Which is very valuable in the Permian strata found in the ancient amphibians have tail fins head shoulder - frog salamander fossils, fossils of the ancient times, will head to survive the end of an era by the continuation of the Devonian to Permian, that is, the whole Extended about 1.3 billion years. The new findings, the study The type of habitat into the 1970s, evolution, and its division into the floor again and again in the geographic distribution of discipline, of great scientific value. More valuable is that he has in the Hongshan area 2.7 million years ago before the formation of the Second Diego Ji collected 6 cases of "fin-winged bird" fossil specimens. The fossils of a bird-winged birds with the characteristics of pectoral fin fish, the Generous and long, it is referred to as fin-fin, shark's fin about to start a considerable length of the body length, it is a "fin-winged birds." Fin-winged birds have been initially developed forepaw back feathers, a bird head, neck birds, but still retain the dorsal fin and tail fin fish, which fish may be critical to the evolution of birds ecological fossils. Hongshan fin-fin era of fossil birds than Germany Luo Ji formation found in the "archeopteryx" as early as 1.2 billion years. Fin-winged birds found in the world, or the first case, it may be revealed directly from birds evolved from fish, birds and thus the impact is the evolution of amphibians to the traditional concept. Fin-winged birds and found that its further scientific research is likely to add to or To write the history of the evolution of paleontology, is of great theoretical value. Fossils of these rare occasions in Urumqi on public display, attracted much attention from all walks of life and sensation.
In recent years, Lin has established a national hero in the Qing Dynasty stone statue commemorating the Red Hill and the sculptures of a green, red hill on top of the board House view, "Border Town panoramic picture.
