The Natural Beauty of Wulingyuan

Wulingyuan is located
in Hunan Province, China. Wulingyuan is known as the Wulingyuan
scenic area, including Zhangjiajie, the Tianzi Mountains,
and Suoxi Valley. The scenery of Wulingyuan is truly spectacular.
I really don't know how to describe its beauty using words,
but the brief description from the world heritage list is
here.
"A spectacular area stretching over more than 26,000 hectares
in China's Hunan Province, the site is distinguished by more
than 3,000 narrow sandstone pillars and peaks, many over 200
metres high. Between the peaks lie ravines and gorges with
streams, pools and waterfalls, some 40 caves, as well as two
large natural bridges. In addition to the striking beauty
of its landscape, the region is also noted for the fact that
it shelters a number of endangered plant and animal species."
If you can read Chinese, here are two good introductions of
Wulingyuan by China Pages and Calmar.
Here are a few pictures for you to have some idea about Wulingyuan's
scenery. Zhangjiajie is the first national forest park in
China.
Don't miss the virtual tour of Wulingyuan from Chinavista.
And here is the link of Zhangjiajie.
I have to say pictures are useful for memory if you have been there. The best way to enjoy the natural beauty is to feel it and to touch it since nature is live.
