Huanglianguan Earth Forest is located in Huangliangguan Town, 30 kilometers south of Xichang City, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, more than 30 kilometers away from the urban area of ??Xichang City, Sichuan Province, on the valley slope of the left bank of the Anning River. The soil forest covers an area of ??about 1.3 km2 and is about 1500m above sea level. It is majestic and has different shapes. Some resemble ancient castles, some are like vast forests, some are like long swords leaning against the sky, and some are like galloping horses roaring to the sky. Some are as naive as pandas, some are like a group of monkeys climbing and playing, and some are like ligers and tigers competing for strength. The entire earth forest scenic spot is beautiful.
Huang Lianguan Town is named after the many coptis trees on the hillside.
The soil forest is a special landform landscape formed under specific material conditions, topographic and geomorphological conditions, internal and external dynamic geological conditions, and climatic environmental conditions. The loess soil forest with a certain scale has unique ornamental value and certain scientific value.
The texture of the soil forest is yellow sandy conglomerate. Geological experts say. The formation of soil forest. It can be traced back as far as the Ice Age from 80 million to 100 million years ago. During the period of ice and water deposition. The flow of ice water brings debris and forms a layer of sand and gravel. After the sandy gravel layer is diagenetically hardened. Affected by new crustal movements, cracks or cracks (called cracks in geology) appear. Surface water (mainly rainwater) leaks and seeps downward along the cracks. Over time, the cracks gradually expanded and deepened due to erosion, and finally split into mounds and pillars to become today's earth forest. The sandstone at the top of the soil forest is made of colloidal calcium and is not easily weathered and washed away, so it is mostly mushroom-shaped.
The wonders of earth and forest also vary from person to person, from time to time, and from situation to situation. In childish eyes. This is a zoo, with galloping horses roaring to the sky and pandas looking so naive. Groups of monkeys are climbing and playing, while ligers and tigers are fighting for their strength. The shape follows the idea. Everything is available. The best thing about Shilin is dusk, when the scenery is hazy and the sounds gradually stop. People will hear all kinds of strange sounds in the fantasy. Everything is solidified here. You need to let your imagination run wild.
