Volcanic big stone Valley generally refers to Tianmu stone valley

Tianmu stone Valley, also known as volcanic big stone Valley, is located in Lin'an, Zhejiang Province, close to the West Tianmu Mountain, the kingdom of primeval forest trees.

Introduction to shigu

The stone valley of Tianmu Mountain has "five most": the longest stone Valley, the largest number of boulders, the largest stones, the most strange shape, the most abundant water resources, and rare in the world. It is known as the first stone Valley in China, and can be compared with the world-famous stone Valley of continental island of Australia.

Geology and geomorphology

The stone Valley has peculiar landform and rich wild interest. It is a spectacular mountain corridor with green mountains, green water, strange rocks, waterfalls, Bitan and secluded valley. Walking into the corridor, you can see a variety of pebbles from Tianmu Mountain "straight down" the valley bottom, like "stone waterfall". It's really like "huge stones straight down three thousand feet". All kinds of natural landscapes in the stone valley are vivid and ready to come out. Around 1933, geologist Li Siguang visited the area of Tianmu Mountain three times. In his article "materials on the study of glaciers in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River", he said: "from the northern foot of Tianmu Mountain to the height of 800 meters, deep valleys or cliffs are everywhere; glacial troughs include Pingxi Valley and its middle tributaries. "One of the tributaries is today's volcanic rock valley. Xie Jin, a famous director, and Jin Yong, a famous writer in Hong Kong, all wrote inscriptions for shigu, and they were full of praise.

Climatic characteristics

The summer temperature of the scenic spot is 5-10 ℃ lower than that of the outside, so it is a summer resort. On both sides of the stone Valley, there are luxuriant trees, luxuriant flowers, birds and beasts, and a hundred birds contending. The five fold combination of deep trees, fresh air, static boulders, dynamic rapids, and roaring waves can be called a unique Chinese style. If you are on the scene, you will forget to return.

Giant stone waterfall is a volcanic rock valley formed by the Yanshan volcanic eruption 150 million years ago, which was formed by the Quaternary glacial movement and landslide. Liu Zhongyi, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and former Minister of China's Ministry of agriculture, said after touring shigu: "shigu has a beautiful scenery and a bright future." And inscribed a new name "volcanic rock valley.". At the top of Shigu, the remains of the crater were also found, which experts said was the only famous Crater in the southeast coastal area. After inspecting shigu, Yao shenghou, deputy director of Zhejiang Provincial Tourism Administration, said: "the volcanic big shigu has distinctive features, good planning, and is worth visiting." the uncanny workmanship of nature and creativity will make you feel relaxed and breathtaking, which has high value of science education and tourism development.

After 100 million years of sleep, the volcanic rock valley wakes up and comes out of the world, lifting the veil of mystery. We can see the remains of the volcano for 100 million years, enjoy the glacial relics, and share the charm of nature.
