Mount Jianglang, also known as Jianglangshan, is a mountain in Jiangshan, Zhejiang province, China, reaching an elevation of 816.8 meters. It is a Danxia landform, a formation of vividly colored, layered red sandstone shaped by erosion, and its three peaks, Lang Feng, Ya Feng and Ling Feng, run north to south in a pattern local tradition reads as river shaped. The mountain was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010 as part of the broader China Danxia designation.
