Datong soil forest - China Travel

introduce

The uncanny craftsmanship of nature has created the weird and blurred landforms of the soil forest. When you walk in here, it is difficult to understand whether you have landed on Mars or are trapped in a magic and fairy world. This is Datong Earth Forest, which is called "Shibangou" by the locals. It is the only known earth forest scenic spot in North China.

Looking around, the peculiarity of the soil forest is dazzling, like an old castle but not a castle, like a sculpture but not a sculpture. Some canines are criss-crossed, standing thousands of feet, which must be the edge of heaven and earth; some are continuous, like the reappearance of the ancient Great Wall; some live alone, like hermits leisurely; The south of the soil forest stretches into a piece of tranquil waters. Standing on the shore and looking out, the soil forest reflected in the water is even more confusing and confusing like a Brahma world.

Under different sunlight, the soil forest presents different styles, either glittering with gold, or red like flames, magnificent and magnificent, which is favored by many photographers.

"Datong Earth Forest" is a unique geological park in northern my country and a well-known tourist attraction in Shanxi Province.

The soil forest like towers and pillars is like the remains of an ancient castle, and the anthropomorphic images are lifelike in various poses and with different expressions.

Although there is a lot of complaints on the Internet, I personally feel that it is actually quite beautiful. But go when the weather is good. And the most important thing is that the tickets are indeed too expensive, and there is no service to speak of, resulting in a much lower cost performance.

I chose this scenic spot for the first stop of my self-driving trip to Datong. The scenic spot is not very big, and the scenery is still good. After all, there are few soil forests in the north, and it feels quite fresh to see. The scenery is more spectacular when the sun sets. The disadvantage is that the facilities in the scenic spot are not perfect. The roads are gravel roads and dirt roads. After visiting the scenic spots, the shoes are covered with dirt. Special reminder, it is mid-September, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the scenic area. They bit me several bags through the sunscreen sleeves, so we must take good protection.

The earth forest is most beautiful only at sunrise and sunset. The bright and dark lines highlight the appearance of the earth forest. The sun illuminates the earth forest in vivid colors, and the high and low scattered lines are particularly clear. For Datong, which is rich in humanities, soil forest is a very special existence.
