Yuanmou Earth Forest: The marvelous work of nature

Explore the wonders of nature, this columnar landform shaped by soil-like deposits is named for its forest-like landscape. In China and even the world, Yuanmou Earth Forest is an amazing natural wonder. After millions of years of crustal movement, the god of wind and rain carved the land of Yuanmou into various shapes. This place has attracted photographers, geologists, and famous directors to visit and take pictures, including the shooting locations of movies such as 'The Promise' and 'Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles'. 🎥 According to the genesis and morphological characteristics of the earth pillars, Yuanmou Earth Forest can be divided into four types. Different forms of earth pillars are mixed together, making the earth forest present a rich and varied posture. The Yuanmou Earth Forest, mainly distributed on the west side of the Longchuan River, a tributary of the Jinsha River, shows its unique charm along the edges of valleys and gullies of branch flows. Among them, Banguo, Hutiaotan (Sesame), Wanbao, Xiaoleizai, and Xinhua and other earth forest communities are larger in scale and more typical in development. Here, you will see tall and straight earth pillars, each 'forest pillar' has a unique shape, forming various wonders. 🌲 Some of these earth pillars are like ancient castles🏰, some are like temples🕌, some are like pagodas🗼, some are like giant swords⚔, some are like knife ridges🗡, some are like eagles ready to fly🦅, some are like galloping horses🐎, and even some are like helmeted guards👮‍♂, like fan-shaking scholars🎎, as well as 'Jade Girl Watching Clouds' and 'Mother and Child Touring Together' stereo group images💃🏻👶. This is really a marvelous work, which is amazing. 😮 The earth pillars are densely covered with minerals such as mica and quartz, which reflect dazzling light under the sunlight✨, adding colorful colors to the earth forest. During your trip to Yuanmou Earth Forest, you can't miss the local food! Try a bite of nutritious, cool and beneficial buckwheat noodles🍜, dipped in honey🍯, this is not only a traditional food of the Yi people, but also a way of hospitality. The method of making is very simple, after mixing the buckwheat flour with a moderate amount of water, pour it into a hot pot and let it naturally form a cake over a low heat, then bake it on the side of the fire pit or cook it in the fire ash, and finally enjoy it with honey. The buckwheat cake has a fragrant aroma, sweet but not greasy, easy to carry, and no peculiar smell when stored. 😋
