The Red Stone Forest is located on the left side of the adjacent main peak of Songtao in the Lal Mountains. It belongs to a kind of karst landform, and it is distributed in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in China, mainly in gray stone forest. Entering the Red Stone Forest, the first thing to see is the large red Danxia stone wall, close to the Danxia stone wall. If you look closely, you will find that all the stone walls are covered with different horizontal grooves and stone walls. The colors are mainly red, and some yellow and white. There are criss-crossing channels between the rocks. On some red squares of one or twenty square meters, there are several white raised stones, which are also covered with lateral grooves. Entering the Red Stone Forest is like walking into a dreamy world. The red stone forest, stone cliff, stone wall and pinnacle are formed in the mountains. The overall landscape is beautiful and elegant, like a natural garden. All the stones here seem to be covered with a fine pattern like a coral reef.

This place is a must-visit

The Wave Valley is really beautiful. After getting off the highway, the road is not easy to navigate, it's narrow and winds through the village. It's a developed scenic area, with many villagers soliciting customers. Chuandongxi The entrance fee is 90, the glass bridge is 50, and I didn't take the elevator (not recommended, because it's very short!) Be prepared, the tour time is 2-4 hours, don't bring children (there are many steps, and it's a long walk), the glass plank road is very interesting. It's scary but the photos are really good. Keep going along the road, the photos are too good! Then there's a section of the road that is stairs, keep going down the stairs to the bottom of the valley where there's a stream, reeds, and a wooden plank road. Continue to walk a long section of the road with average scenery. Although there are no signs, don't doubt, keep going until you reach a fork in the road, one side is a single line of sky, the other is the exit. The single line of sky is a must-see!! It's very beautiful! Only one person can pass, it's very beautiful and good for taking photos. The single line of sky is a one-way line, keep going and you'll reach the entrance of the single line of sky, then walk back a section of the original road to the fork in the road where there's a short elevator, don't take it. The elevator is very short, 15 yuan per person, not worth it, because there are still a lot of stairs to climb after getting off. Then it's the uphill road, the scenery is not as good as before but looking down from above is another view. Keep going and going, past one bend after another, and you'll reach the exit (very tired). It's recommended to just visit the scenic area, the planning is quite good. Although undeveloped scenic areas allow you to step on the Danxia landform, the scenery is not as concentrated and beautiful as the developed ones.

Blown up by friends! The most suitable niche attractions for National Day travel

Wow! Blown up by friends! 🔥 Let me recommend a super awesome niche attraction for National Day travel! 🌟 This place is located in Xiangxi Zuo Longxia, Hunan, and there are very few people! 🌳 The ticket price for foreigners is 85 yuan, the whole journey takes about 3 hours, but the experience is super awesome! 💪 However, friends with not so good physical strength may need to consider carefully. Remember to bring a bottle of water, we didn't bring any other food, because after climbing to the top of the mountain, there are food for sale, and the price is super cheap! 🍜 A bowl of sweet wine only costs 5 yuan! 😋 I recommend going in the afternoon, so after climbing, you only need to drive for 20 minutes to reach Furong Town, where you can stroll around at night and stay in Furong Town. 🌆 The night in Furong Town is also very charming! 😍

The Red Stone Forest Scenic Area, about 15 kilometers away from Furong Town, was once the bottom of the Ordovician hundreds of millions of years ago. Later, under the erosion of seawater rain, a unique karst landform was formed, and the red color formed by iron elements has Danxia landform. The feeling, hence the name Red Stone Forest. It is a surprise to see such a landscape for the first time in the karst landform that has passed. It is a pity that when we went, it happened to rain, and the Red Stone Forest became a black stone forest, but it was still amazed by the magical nature of nature. The red stone forest will be much more beautiful than the rain on a sunny day. The best tourist season is summer, and the garden will be filled with small flowers. The ticket is 120 yuan.
