Many National Geoparks in China have been described over the past decade, but an understanding of the range of various landform features and their connection with geological and climatic constraints has not previously been published. Based on an increasing awareness of National Geoparks, the aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive overview of the National Geoparks of China by reviewing the geological heritage and their intrinsic linkages with geological and climatic controls.

There are many kinds of geological relics in this area, such as stratum relics, rock relics, tectonic relics, hydro-geological relics and geological-geo- morphologic relics, all of which have different features and important significance in geomorphology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, lithology and paleontology. Compared with other geological parks in Taihang Mountains, the landscape of canyons is not unique enough and the karst landform is less typical. Keywords: Yuntaishan Geopark; geological relics; geological value 1 Introduction Yuntaishan Geopark is one of the first Global Geoparks approved by the UNESCO. Located in the northern mountain area of Jiaozuo, Henan Province of China, the Park covers an area of 556 km2. The structure is located in the south of the North China plate, the south of Taihang Mountains. The geological relics in the Park are concen- trated and the strata are well distributed. Sandstone of Yunmengshan Formation of Mesoproterozoic Erathem in which stratigraphic sequence is preserved integrally is the main part of Yuntaishan Geopark as well as an important part of the strata in Tai- hang Mountains. The Park is featured by geological relics and geological landscapes which constitute Yuntai landform forming under the effects of rifting.

China 2JNU-UF International Joint Laboratory on IT & T, Shenzhen, Guangdong, P.R. China Abstract During the golden week of National Day, large numbers of domestic residents will take a trip simultaneously, which not only leads to the overloading of some 5A scenic spots but also goes against sustainable development of scenic spots. Whether it is necessary to reestablish golden week of May Day has always been discussed during National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. However, different scholars hold different opinions. This paper will conduct empirical research to study the daily passenger flows during six golden weeks of the 34 scenic spots. By using EXCEL, this study does descriptive statistics of six golden weeks and calculates the weekly skewness index of 33 scenic spots. Meanwhile, SPSS is used to do ANOVA, which will be the basis for the calculation of the skewness index and correlation analysis of the weekly skewness index in different golden weeks. As shown by the results, the peaks of tourist flows in golden week of May Day and National Day are at the early period, which can be easily influenced by the length of the holiday.
