龙岩地质公园位于福建西部地区。在地球演化过程中，地质公园记录了华南中生代从印支期陆内造山构造体系向古太平洋板块俯冲构造体系的转换过程，是研究中国东南部中生代大地构造演化的关键地区。文章分析了拟建龙岩世界地质公园的地质遗迹、自然资源和人文资源的类型，通过对比，认为它们具有独特性和重要的地质学、美学、教育学及旅游学价值。按照联合国教科文组织世界地质公园的标准和要求，指出了申报龙岩世界地质公园还存在的差距，并提出了相应的改进建议。通过全面分析研究，文章认为申报和创建龙岩联合国教科文组织世界地质公园是可行的。

Longyan Geopark is located in western Fujian Province. The geopark recorded transitional processes of the South China Block from the Indosinian intracontinental orogenic tectonic system to the subduction tectonic system of the paleo-Pacific plate during the Mesozoic. Hence, it is a key area for studying the Mesozoic tectonic evolution in Southeast China. This article analyzes and contrasts the geoheritage, natural and cultural heritages of the geopark to confirm and highlight its uniqueness and important values in geology, aesthetics, education, and tourism. According to the Unite Nations Educational, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Global Geopark guidelines, there are still some room for improvement for Longyan Geopark to bid for the UNESCO Global Geopark and the suggested improvement has been proposed.
