Explore the oldest 'indigenous' inhabitants on Earth
🌞 Yuanmou Earth Forest, a geographical wonder full of mystery, as if we are in a distant and ancient planet. 🌏 Whenever the sun rises, the sunlight shines on the earth forest, the whole world seems to be surrounded by golden light, so beautiful that it takes one's breath away. 😍
👣 We first arrived at the entrance of Yuanmou Earth Forest. As soon as we entered the scenic area, we were shocked by the sight in front of us. A vast earth forest stands on the earth, each 'earth pillar' seems to be telling its own story.
Among these 'earth pillars', my favorite is called 'Dizhu Peak'. It towers into the clouds, standing in the center of the earth forest, like a guardian, silently guarding this magical land. 😊
🌸 In the depths of Yuanmou Earth Forest, we also found a sea of pink flowers. These flowers, against the backdrop of the earth forest, look especially delicate. I feel as if I am in a fairy tale world, feeling the magic and beauty of nature. 🌸🌺
🌳 On this magical land, we also had a unique camping experience. At night, we sat around the campfire, looking up at the stars, enjoying the tranquility and harmony of nature. This camping experience made me deeply feel the beauty of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Tents, campfires, food, starry sky... everything is so perfect! ✨✨
In conclusion, Yuanmou Earth Forest is one of my favorite places. Here, I felt the magic and beauty of nature, and also experienced the beauty of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. If you also want to explore this mysterious earth forest world, you can take a trip on the spur of the moment! 🌈🌍

Early Spring in Southeast Yunnan - A Riot of Colors Between Heaven and Earth (Part II): Yuanmou (Langbapu) Earth Forest
Today's destination is the Yuanmou Earth Forest. The bus travels from Kunming for 4-5 hours, arriving in the afternoon at the Yuanmou Earth Forest located in Chuxiong Prefecture of Yunnan.
Although named 'forest', the Yuanmou Earth Forest has no trees; and though made of 'earth', it boasts a rich palette of colors and a variety of shapes. Sculpted by millions of years of wind and rain, the Yuanmou Earth Forest has become enchantingly beautiful. Set against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, it resembles a mythical world. The unique and irreplaceable scenery is like majestic temples, formidable watchtowers, grand pagodas, and luxurious ancient castles - a masterpiece of nature beyond count.
The Yuanmou Earth Forest is primitive, desolate, and rugged, with gullies, barren hills, and secluded valleys forming a wild ancient world. Thus, it has also become a popular filming location for many movies, including 'A Simple Noodle Story', 'The Promise', 'Little Big Soldier', 'The Zodiac Mystery',
and 'Monster Hunt 2', among others.
The beauty of the Earth Forest leaves you forever immersed in wonder, from shock to being unable to extricate yourself. It's like abandoned castles and ancient palaces, both tragic and time-worn, are displayed before the eyes of the world. Wandering through the Earth Forest, one can marvel at the greatness of nature and one's own insignificance.
Langbapu Earth Forest, also known as Xinhua Earth Forest, is more than 30 kilometers away from Yuanmou County.
The earth pillars of Langbapu Earth Forest are tall and dense, with a complete range of types. The tops are predominantly purplish-red, the upper-middle part is gray, and the lower-middle part is based on yellow. The tallest pillar reaches 28 meters. Viewed from above, Langbapu Earth Forest looks like a beautiful scar carved into the earth, perfectly blending the boundless expanse and the long history of nature. Facing it is like confronting a heart-stopping desolation and a profound silence of the ages.
Langbapu Earth Forest is the best in terms of landscape quality, color richness, layering, and impact within Yuanmou County, rivaling even the Bryce Canyon in the United States.
The magical and spectacular sights of the Yuanmou Earth Forest allow everyone to capture exquisite and unparalleled works with the press of a shutter. The best times for photography are during the morning glow and sunset, when the mountain patterns are clearly defined, the tones golden, vivid, and rich, creating dreamy and hazy masterpieces of light and shadow!
Yuanmou Earth Forest
Fork in the Road
This otherworldly space is real, not a dream
The Yuanmou Earth Forest, located in Yuanmou County of the Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, was formed 1.5 million years ago.
Coming here is like entering a distant and ancient planet. Walking among it, one marvels at the beauty of nature's creations, and it's hard to believe that one can actually traverse such a magical land.
The Zanda Earth Forest in Tibet's Ali region is even larger and more spectacular, but I only saw it from the highway without actually walking into it. This time, truly entering the Yuanmou Earth Forest, the experience is completely different.
Xu Xiake mentioned the Yuanmou Earth Forest in his 'Travel Notes in Dian, Volume 13', describing it as 'piled up like mica, as if one is amidst auspicious clouds and golden millet.'
The earth forest is beautiful, especially at sunset. In the glow of the setting sun, the colors become even more vivid.

📍 Location: Yunnan Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area
Recently, I visited the Yunnan Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area, which is an amazing place. Now I want to share with you my travel experience and what I have seen and heard.
💫 Day 1:
On the first day, as soon as I stepped into the Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area, I was shocked by the surrounding mountains and forests. The air here is fresh and pleasant, full of the breath of nature. I stayed in a wooden house, where I could enjoy the mountain view and the earth forest from the balcony.
🌳 Day 2:
On the second day, I participated in a hiking adventure through the earth forest. The earth forest was formed by the weathering and erosion of mud and sand millions of years ago. They have different shapes, some like giants, some like animals, and some like castles. I explored the earth forest landscape along the designated trail and was very shocked.
🌞 Day 3:
On the last day, I took a hot air balloon to overlook the entire scenic area. After ascending, I saw an amazing picture. The endless earth forest extends like waves, surrounded by lush mountains and flowing rivers. Overlooking the magnificent scenery from the air, I felt peace and freedom.
✨ Yunnan Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area is an unforgettable place. Here I explored the strange beauty of the earth forest, and appreciated the grandeur and mystery of nature. If you are interested in the miracles of nature, why not take a trip to Yuanmou, I believe you will not be disappointed.

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. 😋

Yuanmou is a place that Chinese people are very familiar with. The first chapter of junior high school history textbooks is the introduction of the Yuanmou people. It was the earliest erected ancient monk and the true ancestor.
Maybe there are too many things to watch in Yunnan. Yuanmou has not become the focus of people's attention. There are also quite a few people here, but if you can go deep into the mountains of Yuanmou, you will find the most unique one. The scenery, that is the soil.
Transportation: From Kunming to Yuanmou, you can choose a car or train, but the car is faster and more convenient. You need to take a bus to the northwest passenger station in Kunming. The time is about 3 hours. After arriving at Yuanmou Bus Station, you can take the country bus to Xinhua Township, and you will arrive at Langbapu in about an hour and a half after an hour.
Attraction: The soil of Langbapu is more spectacular than the soil of the trade, and it is more beautiful. The cost of the two places is similar, so it would be better to choose Langba.
Best season: Yuanmou less rain, can come all year round
