九华山世界地质公园，中心点坐标：N30°28′20.91″，E117°48′3.84″，地处安徽省南部池州市。公园面积139.7km2，最高海拔1344.4m。公园于2009年8月获得国家地质公园资格，2012年12月入选国家地质公园网络，2016年12月获得国土资源科普基地称号。九华山是中国自然与文化遗产地，是中国国家级风景名胜区，是中国佛教四大名山之一。
九华山地质公园以清晰、壮观、美丽的花岗岩复式岩体、大型花岗岩断块地貌与独有的富流体花岗岩结晶构造展现欧亚板块-太平洋板块碰撞发生期的地壳深部硅镁层熔融至硅铝层熔融岩浆活动和后期构造活动的杰出地质遗迹与模式地，及与北亚热带植被面貌与佛教文化的融合景观享誉世界。
九华山世界地质公园拥有完整的“峰-丘-盆”地貌结构。五种不同的花岗岩是东亚板块陆陆碰撞地壳岩浆活动的产物，是研究岩浆混合作用的最佳窗口，是认知富流体酸性岩浆结晶构造（晶洞花岗岩）的模式地。壮观的大型花岗岩断块地貌是区域地理单元的杰出范例，拔地而起的山峰与丘陵、盆地地貌结构创造了形态各异的花岗岩石峰、丰富多样的生物与水资源，是九华山文明的源泉与载体。
九华山是“山、水、田、林、佛”统一的生命共同体，九华因佛教而兴，佛教因山形而立。因此，保护稀有的地质遗迹和优越的生态环境，普及九华山地学知识，开展社区群众参与的旅游方式促进地方经济发展是“保护九华山、认识九华山、发展九华山”的重要内容，是创建世界地质公园的重要目的。
Jiuhuashan Global Geopark is located in Chizhou City in southern Anhui Province, covers an area of 139.7 square kilometers (N30°28′20.91″, E117°48′3.84″), with the highest elevation of 1,344.4 m. Jiuhuashan Geopark was qualified as a national geopark in August, 2009 and was formally listed in the National Geoparks Network in December, 2012. In December, 2016, Jiuhuashan was awarded a title of the science popularization base of land and resources. Jiuhuashan is a national natural and cultural heritage site, a national park of China and one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China.
Jiuhuashan Global Geopark is famous for the clear, magnificent and beautiful granitic complex rock body, large fault-block granitic landform and unique fluid-rich granite crystal structure which is an outstanding geosite and model site displaying magmatic activities from sima melting to sial melting in deep crust and subsequent tectonic activities, together with the north subtropical vegetation landscape and Buddhist culture.
There is a complete mountain-hill-basin geomorphic structure in Jiuhuashan Geopark. Five types of granite are the products of crustal magmatic activities caused by continental collision of East Asian plate, is the best window of studying magma mixing and is also the model site of researching fluid-rich acidic magmatic crystallization (miarolitic granite). Spectacular large-scale fault-block granitic landform is an outstanding example of regional geographic unit. The geomorphic structure, composed of towering granite mountains, hills and basins, has created various granite peaks, abundant biodiversity and water resources, making the Jiuhuashan a birth place and carrier of Jiuhuashan culture.
Jiuhuashan is a united life community of mountain, water, field, forest and Buddha. Jiuhuashan is famous for Buddhism, and thanks to mountain shape, Buddhism stands for a long time. Therefore, the important contents of "protect Jiuhuashan, understand Jiuhuashan and develop Jiuhuashan" include the following aspects, namely, protecting rare geo-heritages and good ecological environment, popularizing earth science knowledge about Jiuhuashan, conducting the tourism mode of community participation and promoting local economic development. They are also the important purposes of creating global geopark.
