Abstract: The granite is a common bedrock type that is widely distributed in Guangdong Province which is underneath approximate 40% of the land area. The weathered granite in this region has a thick deposit depth, low shear strength when it soaks in the water and prone to develop landslide. A landslide in Maogu Village, Taibao Township of Lianshan County is a typical landslide in the weathered granite residual soils. This paper presents the landslide evaluation results and factors that cause the slide from the development of the slide and geological conditions.

Key words: Granite Bedrock, Landslide, Factors Inducing the Slide
