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.
