Yuanmou Earth Forest

Many people may not know much about the Yuanmou Earth Forest. Geologically speaking: Earth forests generally appear in basins or valleys, with the Yuanmou Earth Forest being the most typical, reflecting the changes in ancient geography and the process of geomorphological development. The Yuanmou Earth Forest is a wonderful natural wonder in China and even the world. After millions of years of crustal movement, the god of wind and rain has carved the land of Yuanmou into various strange shapes. Many photographers use this place as their creative base, and it also attracts many geologists and famous directors to visit and take pictures. Zhang Yimou filmed 'Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles' here, and later Chen Kaige also filmed 'The Promise' here. Therefore, the Yuanmou Earth Forest has become a popular tourist spot.
