Tibet Travel Notes | Zhada Earth Forest - a unique wonder of uncanny craftsmanship!

China's vast land is dotted with various special natural landscape "forests" such as stone forests, earth forests, and ice pagoda forests. However, in terms of spectacular scenery and majestic momentum, none can surpass the Zada ​​Earth Forest.

There is no admission fee for the earth forest. On the way to Zanda County, you will pass by a viewing platform, which is the best place to appreciate the earth forest from a distance. The originally loess-colored hillside turned white under the strong sunlight, with crisscrossing ravines and intense light and dark.

If you look closer, you will see that both sides of the Xiangquan River are surrounded by earth and forests, and the road is full of ingenuity. The wonders that are unprecedented in the world are like solemn and majestic temples, like fortified watchtowers, like magnificent and towering pagodas, like extremely luxurious ancient palaces, like simple and majestic European-style castles, and some are like thousands of galloping horses. , holding one's head high and shouting to the sky, or practicing like a believer, sitting in devout meditation, there are countless things created by heaven.

Yellow, brown, gray and black, except for the endless dark sand, there is almost no trace of an oasis in the nearly 2,500 square kilometers of Zada ​​soil forest. But did you know that this "demon world" territory that seems to have long been covered by water, green, and forgotten by humans was once a large clear lake with a radius of 500 kilometers more than 1 million years ago.

In the past, this place used to be a no-man's land where no one dared to break into. It was a paradise for adventurers, and the beautiful scenery was kept in the boudoir and no one knew about it. Facing the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest in front of us, everything seems small.
