The natural wonder Enshi Grand Canyon

Enshi Grand Canyon: Divided into Qixingzhai and Yunlong Rift Scenic Area, Qixingzhai is famous for its incense stick, welcoming pine, great mountains and rivers, deep mother-child love, hundred-mile cliffs, thousand-meter waterfalls, proud solitary peaks, primitive forests, and ancient villages. The most outstanding is the 'incense stick' stone pillar, which is about 150 meters high and only 4 meters in diameter. The rock's compressive strength here is 800 kilograms per cubic centimeter. It stands tall and unshaken by wind and rain, standing among the peaks for millions of years, guarding this mysterious land. From a geological point of view, due to the long-term crisscrossing impact of the Yangtze River and Qingjiang River systems, continuous erosion and scouring have formed the steep stone pillars today. Due to the extreme difficulty of preservation, such slender stone pillars are rare on earth.
