Yimengshan Geopark is located in Linyi City, Shandong Province, composed of Mengshan, Diamond, Daigu, Menglianggu and Yunmenghu, with a total area of 1,804.76 km².

Yimengshan Geopark is situated on the Luxi Block, to the west of Yishu fault zone. The very old strata and the Archean massive intrusive rock series honestly record the evolution of the early crust in North China. The unique "Money Stone" here actually is a kind of porphyritic ultrabasic rock resulted from the hydrothermal alteration of ancient intrusive rocks. The earliest primary diamond mine is located in the Geopark, yielding diamonds up to 1,800,000 karats. The Geopark is the naming place of Daigu (castle-shaped) landform, with dense clusters of typical castle-shaped landforms. With peaks towering to the sky, streams and waterfalls, the natural scenery here is fascinating. Here is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and the center of Dongyi culture, converging site of the Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Yimengshan Geopark is a special site with perfect combination between the culture and natural landscape, as well as the recent significant Yimeng spirit.

Mengshan

Mengshan includes Guimeng, Yunmeng and Mengshanrenjia. Mount Mengshan, the second highest peak in Shandong Province, is composed of multiple intrusive rocks formed in Neoarchean (2.7 billion years ago) to Palaeoproterozoic (2.5 billion years ago), which is named as "Mengshan Rock Suite". The large-scale granitic rocks have great significance for exploring the formation and evolution of early crust. Towering peaks and cloud seas make the area a fairyland. The various vivid pictograph eroded rocks are dominated by the amazing turtle-shaped rocks, which are the symbol of longevity in China. The hydrological sceneries, such as China Waterfall, Jiulong Pool and Three Longmen Pools, are beautiful and elegant.
Yimengshan Geopark is one of Chinese civilization birthplaces and the center of Dongyi Culture, with a long history and numerous cultural relics, where has attracted numerous experts and visitors from all over the world. Converged by the significant scientific meanings, graceful landscapes and profound cultural history, the Mengshan has become a great place for science popularization, vacation and well-being.

Guimeng

Summit Guimeng, with an elevation of 1156 m above sea level, is the second highest peak in Shandong Province. Guimeng is composed of multiple intrusive rocks formed about 2.7-2.5 billion years ago. It is of great significance in exploring the early crustal formation and evolution in North China. There are a lot of steep cliffs and graceful peaks in Peak Yingwo. Walking along the wandering wooden plank on steep cliffs, the view of lifelike pictographic peaks is breathtaking.

Yunmeng

Yunmeng is full of towering peaks and deep valleys, dominated by the intrusive rocks about 2.5 billion years ago. About 1.62 billion years ago, the intrusion of the Niulan diabase mass marked the consolidation of the North China Continent. Every stone in the geopark is telling the story of the Earth history. Peak Yunmeng is composed of three small peaks, which is the source of "mountain" in the Chinese character; China Waterfall is a three-stepped waterfall with magnificent view; Rain God Temple is famous for praying rain. Here is a natural botanical garden of North China and the treasure house of herbal plant resources. It is also the largest provider of honeysuckle in China. The forest coverage rate as high as 85%, so here is known as a natural oxygen bar.

Mengshanrenjia

Mengshanrenjia is located at the east slope of Mount Mengshan, embraced by peaks and ranges, with gurgling streams and graceful environment. Jingtian River meanders along the contact boundary between Guimengding rock mass (2.54 billion years ago) and Aolaishan monzonitic granite (2.52 billion years ago). The Guimengding rock mass is banded, with developed gneissic schistosity. The hospitable Yimengshan people live in their primitive farmer's houses for many generations, with stone mills and rolls, pebble-paved lane and stone walls, they warmly welcome the Geopark visitors.

Diamond

Diamond, located in the north slope of Mount Mengshan, is the first locality of kimberlite primary diamonds in China, the largest diamond open-mining site in China even in Asia. Since 1970, a total of 1.8 million karats of diamond has been yielded, which made a great contribution to the development of high-technical industry in China. The No. 1 Mengshan diamond is the largest primary diamond in China, so the Geopark is also called the capital of diamond in China.
Diamond in the Geopark is a natural museum of kimberlite and primary diamonds in China, where it has become a science popularization and sightseeing paradise integrated with the diamond mining, mining industry show, diamond processing, wedding shooting and ceremony.

Daigu

Daigu is famed by the clusters of castle-shaped peaks (Daigu in Chinese), magnificent and lifelike, constituting a world-rare castle-shaped landscape. The trilobite and stromatolite bearing Cambrian marine mudstones, sandstones and limestones are the material basis of Daigu landform, which was formed due to tectonic movement, weathering and denudation over the past 60 million years. The Geopark is the naming site of the castle-shaped landform, so the Geopark is called the hometown of the castle-shaped landform. A huge unconformity indicating a 2-billion-year hiatus is well exposed in this area.
Daigu is the hometown of the famous China Nectarine, which is related to the special geological condition here. In early spring, the scenery of a series of castle-shaped peaks in a sea of peach blossoms is just like a fairy wonderland, where has become an attractive sites for numerous visitors.

Menglianggu

Menglianggu is located at the northwest slope of Mount Mengshan. It's said that a general Meng Liang was stationed here in the Song Dynasty about 1,000 years ago and here was also the main battlefield of the famous Menglianggu Campaign. The Menglianggu is composed of monzonitic granite formed in Neoarchean up to 2.52 billion years ago. It is the typical deep melting product of the earth's crust with clear and typical flow structures and various forms of crumple. The formation of structural joints and intrusive rocks inclusions made Menglianggu's scientific connotation more deeply. Memorial Hall and monument have been built to commemorate the Menglianggu Campaign.
The geoheritage, combined with natural landscape and red culture make the area a natural classroom for geosciences popularization and education base for revolutionary heroism.

Yunmenghu

Yunmenghu is the second largest reservoir in Shandong Province, located at the intersection of Dongwen River and Zihe River in Mengyin County. It was built in April 1960 with a total capacity of 749 million cubic meters. This reservoir is surrounded by mountains in three sides, just like a bright pearl embedded in high gorges.
As a multi-purpose large reservoir, Yunmenghu is of rich and high quality water resources, where is the important water supply for Mount Mengshan. With clear water and beautiful scenery, Yunmenghu is an important place for relaxation and sightseeing.
