• Mesa
  • Guigang

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.

Guigang, located in the southeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region, the middle reaches of Xijiang River Basin and the middle of Xunyu Plain, is an important gateway to the sea in the southwest and the end of China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline. Guigang Port is the largest inland river port in western China, a national smart city pilot city. The Xijiang Golden Waterway flows through the city, facing Wuzhou to the east, Yulin and Qinzhou to the south, Nanning to the west and guests to the north. In October 1995, it was approved by the State Council to be upgraded to a prefecture-level city, with jurisdiction over Hong Kong North District, Hong Kong South District,.
