    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    "

    This book explores one of the world’s most striking red bed sandstone landscapes - Danxiashan - which was designated a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2004 and inscribed as part of the serial World Heritage property ""China Danxia"" in 2010.

    ""China Danxia"" refers to a distinctive type of landscape formed on continental red terrigenous sedimentary rocks, shaped by internal geological forces such as tectonic uplift and external processes including weathering and erosion. Danxiashan is renowned for its dramatic red cliffs - primarily from the Cretaceous period - and a diverse array of erosional landforms, including towering pillars, isolated rock formations, lush subtropical vegetation, steep ravines, deep valleys, and cascading waterfalls.

    The term Danxia, meaning “red cloud’s glow,” captures both the vivid color and ethereal beauty of this unique terrain. It is a landscape that reflects a deep geological history, a distinctive evolution of landforms, and a rich blend of natural and cultural heritage - demonstrating the enduring harmony between humans and nature.
