A clastic rock forehead-like cave landscape is a type of cave landform associated with sandstone caves. The upper cave is usually wider and has a circular shape, whereas the lower cave is narrower. The cave is not deep, and it looks like a human’s forehead; hence, it is also called a forehead-like cave. It is a common feature in the Danxia landform.
