• Mesa
  • Daye 

A mesa is an isolated, flat-topped elevation, ridge or hill, which is bounded from all sides by steep escarpments and stands distinctly above a surrounding plain. Mesas characteristically consist of flat-lying soft sedimentary rocks capped by a more resistant layer or layers of harder rock, e.g. shales overlain by sandstones. The resistant layer acts as a caprock that forms the flat summit of a mesa. The caprock can consist of either sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and limestone; dissected lava flows; or a deeply eroded duricrust. Unlike plateau, whose usage does not imply horizontal layers of bedrock, e.g. Tibetan Plateau, the term mesa applies exclusively to the landforms built of flat-lying strata. Instead, flat-topped plateaus are specifically known as tablelands.

Daye, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hubei Province, administered by Huangshi City, is located in the southeast of Hubei Province, the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the hinterland of Hubei "Metallurgical Corridor", an important part of Wuhan city circle, with a total area of 1566.3 square kilometers. Daye is the birthplace of Chinese bronze culture. More than 3000 years ago, Chinese ancestors mined and smelted copper in Daye, creating a bronze civilization. The Tonglushan ancient copper mine site in the territory is known as "the ninth wonder of the world". It has been listed in the National Archaeological site Park project and the preliminary list of "World Cultural Heritage", and has been awarded the Guinness record of "Ancient Copper Mine with the longest continuous Mining time". Tonglushan Sifangtang site was selected as one of the Top Ten Archaeological discoveries in China in 2015. As of
