This otherworldly space is real, not a dream

The Yuanmou Earth Forest, located in Yuanmou County of the Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, was formed 1.5 million years ago. Coming here is like entering a distant and ancient planet. Walking among it, one marvels at the beauty of nature's creations, and it's hard to believe that one can actually traverse such a magical land. The Zanda Earth Forest in Tibet's Ali region is even larger and more spectacular, but I only saw it from the highway without actually walking into it. This time, truly entering the Yuanmou Earth Forest, the experience is completely different. Xu Xiake mentioned the Yuanmou Earth Forest in his 'Travel Notes in Dian, Volume 13', describing it as 'piled up like mica, as if one is amidst auspicious clouds and golden millet.' The earth forest is beautiful, especially at sunset. In the glow of the setting sun, the colors become even more vivid.
