Geoheritages are the most intuitive natural interpretations of the Earth evolution those still remains in the world. They could provide evidence about the evolution of the earth’s crust, changes in land and sea, biological evolution, the products of interactions between the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. It is a matter of the most important to build Geopark. The geological vestige and landscape are important components of Geopark, which have the recreation and travel health care ability, also it means much to the protection and development of natural heritage. The Wang Mang Mountain Geo-park in Ling chuan is in the south end of Tai Hang Mountain, it also lies on the border of the second steps geomorphology of China and North China Plain. The Geo-park could not only protect the geological site in Ling chuan but also could support the local economic development. The Geo-park would be an important place to scientific research and popular science.This research is based on the construction of the Wangmang Mountain National Geopark in Lingchuan. It makes detail descriptions and separations about the types of local geological relics, also with the help of Remote Sensing, Globe Positioning Systems and Geographical Information Systems, we make a three dimensions model about the park.The conclusions are:According to different origins and characters of geological landscape, the Geo-park could be classified as The Karst landforms, geosynclines’landscapes (sliding structure, unconformity, planation surface etc), sedimentary landscapes, water body landscapes, Canyon landscapes and organic landscapes.(2) We make detail analysis about the formation of typical geological landscapes; the formation and evolution of Karst landscapes, canyon landscapes and planation, long-term stability development of Northern SINO Korea CRATON is the foundation of geological relics. The quick vertical crust movement of the neotectonic movement is the basic power. At the same time, the fault, fissure, joints and the horizontal altitude of bed have some effect on its formation. The stratigraphical distribution, lithology, water and ground water have important effects on the formation of geological relics’formation. We also have some comparing analysis about formation of geological relics between China and abroad.(3) We have done some works on the three dimension model of Geo-park. With the basic methods of Remote Sensing, we could make 3D visualization about the Geo-park in Ling chuan, so we could do research based on it more quickly and intuition, also it could heighten the efficiency of working in the field and the quality of maps.
