• Mesa
  • Dongshan District

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.

Dongshan District, a former municipal district of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, people's Republic of China, was revoked and incorporated into Yuexiu District in May 2005 with the approval of the State Council of the people's Republic of China. It is one of the famous old urban areas (the fourth old district) of Guangzhou. There used to be the saying that "rich and powerful live in Dongshan". Dongshan District was officially delisted at 12:00 on September 28, 2005. a large number of people came to take a group photo in front of the Dongshan resident at No. 8 Yuqian Road. Many citizens said that the culture and feelings of Lao Dongshan had become the city mark of Guangzhou and felt sorry and reluctant to give up the merger of Dongshan District.
