If the Stone Forest Valley compares the Antelope Valley in Arizona to a gentle and mature woman, then the Stone Forest in Deyang is more like a lively and aura girl.
Shilin Valley is located in Gudian Village, Jifeng Town, Zhongjiang County, and Longquanshan Urban Forest Park, Zaojiao Village. It is an important node of Deyang's "double circle" modern agricultural industry.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shilin is "original ecology", because it is made up of countless mountains containing soluble rock components, which have been eroded, washed and cut by running water for years.
The stone forest is small in scale, but it is "strange". The stone walls are undulating and have different shapes, and the momentum is not lost to the Antelope Grand Canyon.
Layers of strange stones, like huge cheese bread, show a bright and dazzling brown color under the sunlight.
At first glance, the most striking thing is the wavy line on the canyon cliff. These lines are washed away by the rain of the years, and nature is ingenious!
In the narrow area between canyons, sunlight and stone walls reflect blue, yellow and green through light, and suddenly enter the underwater world!
Being in a group of boulders, brown and yellow complement each other, and there is a feeling of being far away from the desert ~
Must-see attractions
There is a longest crack between large and small rocks, with the narrowest point of 0.5 meters and the widest point of 3 meters. When you look up, you can only see the blue sky.
Zhonggushi
There is a huge stone called Zhong Shi in Shilin Valley, and there is a drum stone across the Zhong Shi River. It is said that knocking on one of the stones and the other boulder will make a noise, and the village name of Zhonggu Village is named after these two stones.
Xibaba
Look at these neatly arranged stones. Are they like rows of chairs in a theater audience? That's right! This scenic spot is called Xibaba.
Depending on the mountain, the scenic spot will also create long-term canyons, bell and drum stones, lucky pools, Panlong Temple and other landscapes. I expect to meet you next year!
Every natural and cultural landscape here contains rich cultural connotations. The beautiful scenery makes people stop to think ~
Tips
Zhongjiang Stone Forest Scenic Area has not been built. Friends who plan to go, please check the road conditions in advance, bring your own materials, care for the environment, and abide by fire-related laws and regulations.
It is rainy in summer. Please take rain gear with you when traveling, and try to avoid going to places with complex terrain.
You can take a picture of the stone arch bridge next door. According to the inscription beside the bridge, this longevity bridge was built in the Qing Dynasty and is still a channel for villagers to travel to and from Xiaohegou.
On both sides of the stone forest, there are two super-large lawns! It's getting colder and colder. Come to Shilin for a picnic this weekend!
