Datong Soil Forest

The Datong Earth Forest is located in Shibangou, Duzhuang Village, Yunzhou District, Datong City, Shanxi Province, about 20 kilometers south of Datong City. An earth forest is a term for a geomorphological feature, which is a loose accumulation of sand and gravel in riverbeds. In a dry climate, it is formed by the erosion and scouring of seasonal rainwater. The Datong Earth Forest is known as the 'Devil's City'. Up close, the oddly shaped, variously sized, and unevenly distributed earth platforms, earth pillars, and earth cliffs give a sense of inexplicable oppression, as if one is standing beside giants. Datong Earth Forest: A representative of the Yardang landform, where you can see the traces left by the erosion of sand and soil. Taking photos before sunset is simply too beautiful.

|Datong unpopular Earth Forest enters outer space. A super niche unpopular attraction! It's also a geological wonder~ Coming here is like stepping into outer space. It's especially photogenic~ It's the place that left the deepest impression on me in Datong!! It's a bit like the Rainbow Danxia, but different. This is the only Earth Forest in North China! The Earth Forest of Datong is below the ground level, formed by the erosion of rainwater, the infiltration of salt and alkali, and the weathering. The shapes are diverse, and you can clearly see the distinct colors of the soil layers. Immersed in it, the scenery changes with every step! Picture 3, there is a lake in the middle of the scenic area, with floating seaweed, clouds and sunset reflected on the lake surface! Picture 9, in the innermost part of the scenic area, there is a reed field! The reeds are more than one meter high~ It's also very photogenic~ It's recommended to come in the evening, the sunset and the setting sun will add a sense of mystery! The Earth Forest is not far from Datong city, you can drive there, or hire a car to go
