Eternal Marvel: Yuanmou Earth Forest 🌳🌲

Eternal Marvel: Yuanmou Earth Forest 🌳🌲

#Urban Cultural Notes #Hidden Gems Society #Worth Visiting Ancient Towns and Villages #Capturing Urban Culture #Domestic Romantic Travel Destinations 🌟The Eternal Wonder: Yuanmou Earth Forest🌟 The Earth Forest is a natural wonder of the world, consisting of groups of columnar landforms shaped by earth-like deposits, named for their resemblance to a forest from afar. After millions of years of crustal movement, it has formed various peculiar shapes. China's most famous Earth Forest is located in Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province, with Wuma Earth Forest being the best among them. To visit Wuma Earth Forest, one usually takes a sightseeing car directly to the top of the mountain, overlooking the panoramic view, starting from the first scene "Piercing the Sky" and descending step by step. The first impression of Yuanmou Earth Forest is its primitive desolation and rugged grandeur. The layers of soil are not all a single yellow color; they change to red, purple, white, and gray depending on the light. Due to the dense distribution of minerals such as mica and quartz on the earth pillars, they can also reflect brilliant light under the sun, making them even more peculiar. The Earth Forest can be seen as a mountain formed by earth pillars, and various shapes of earth pillars are mixed and distributed, forming a rich and colorful, ever-changing posture. The most beautiful is the "Earth Bud" type, which is formed by surface runoff and rainwater eroding along fissures and soft rock layers, creating smaller earth buds with relatively small height and diameter. This is the prototype of other types of earth forests. The most spectacular is the "Ancient Castle" type, formed by layer erosion and exfoliation, creating shapes such as arch caves, flat caves, and vertical shafts. This type of earth pillar generally has a connected base, a large and round top, or a serrated shape, covering a large area. The most attractive is the "Sharp Bamboo Shoot" type, formed by the erosion and cutting of rainwater and surface water flow, creating conical earth pillars. This type of earth forest has a sharp top, resembling a huge bamboo shoot after the rain or the spire of a pagoda.

Dianzang Line 70

Dianzang Line 70 2023.09.24 Dianzang Line arrived at the second stop of the day at 10:00: Jinsha River Bay. This is an important scenic spot on the way from Meili Snow Mountain to Shangri-La, 'The First Bend of the Jinsha River', also known as Moon Bay, Jinsha River Bay, Jinsha River Big Bend, etc. Jinsha River Bay is located in Zigeng Township, Derong County, Sichuan, at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet. Here there are high mountains and deep valleys, layers of mountains, and cliffs. The mighty Jinsha River, coming from the hinterland of Tibet, seems to want to ease the fatigue of long-distance running when it is about to break through this Yunnan-Sichuan fortress, so it slows down and draws an 'Ω' arc around the pyramid-like Rizhui Peak. Unexpectedly, this impromptu work has created a geographical wonder in the world - the First Bend of the Jinsha River. Jinsha River

Yuanmou | Discover a Hidden Travel Gem

Yuanmou | Discover a Hidden Travel Gem

| Discover a hidden travel gem. An off-the-beaten-track yet super fun place — Yuanmou! This time, I checked in to the Yuanda International Hot Spring Resort, and the experience was simply amazing! Departing from the hotel, I headed straight to the Earth Forest in the morning. The bizarrely shaped earth pillars, bathed in sunlight, seemed to be imbued with life, each exuding a unique charm, as if I were in a mysterious alien world. After a tiring day of exploring, I returned to the hotel in the afternoon to soak in the hot springs. There were various themed pools, and soaking in the steaming hot spring water washed away all the fatigue of the day, leaving me feeling incredibly happy! Travel tips: 1. For photos at the Earth Forest, it's recommended to wear solid-colored clothing to enhance the visual appeal. 2. While hot springs are great, remember to limit your soaking time to avoid dizziness. 3. The local climate is dry, so remember to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

It takes about three hours to visit all four scenic areas. 📝Tips: The local climate is a dry and hot river valley climate, with summer temperatures reaching over 40°C and winter temperatures around 27°C at noon on sunny days, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun.

The Jinsha River is not what I imagined!!!

The Jinsha River is not what I imagined!!!

What I imagined was the 'golden sand water hitting the warm cloud cliff', but the Jinsha River in the Yuanmou section has become a 'large lake' with calm water due to the construction of the Wudongde Hydropower Station. The river is clear and green, coupled with the unique mountain scenery of the dry and hot river valley, it has a special beauty. A Red Army Memorial Hall has been built by the Jinsha River to commemorate that glorious revolutionary history. The memorial is built on a peninsula. You can park your car on the side of the road and walk over a long rainbow bridge to get there. Here you can receive patriotic education and it is also an excellent place to enjoy the scenery of the Jinsha River. Jinsha River
