Introduction to scenic spots

People generally only know that the stone forest landscape is in Yunnan Province, but they don't know that Yongan stone forest, one of the four largest stone forests in China, is a national key scenic spot in Yongan City, Fujian Province.

Dahu town is located 13 kilometers northwest of Yong'an City. It is composed of six sceneries, covering a total area of 1.35 square kilometers. As early as the sixth year of Yongzheng reign in the Qing Dynasty (1729 AD), Lai qiaoqian, a brother from Fujia township of Dahu, hired migrant workers and stonecutters to build roads, pavilions and academies. Scholars and scholars came in droves and flourished for a time. In 1984, the stone forest scenic spot was redeveloped in Yong'an City.

The scale hidden stone forest covers a total area of 1.85 square kilometers. The unique karst landform creates a strange landscape of stone forest on the ground and underground labyrinth. The limestone forest is developed in the Carboniferous Permian limestone. It is 36 meters high and 2-3 meters low. It has various shapes, such as isolated column, tower and cone, cluster and penholder with a common base, flat top and sharp top, smooth column and dense serrated karst ditch and stone bud at the top. Some limestone is exposed, and some is covered with a layer of liana Gauze, beautiful and spectacular.

The scale hidden stone forest is a kind of buried stone bud formed by weathering and dissolution of limestone in a stable environment for a long time under a single dynamic condition, and then developed into a stone forest after denudation. But in the place where ancient rivers flow, the transportation and deposition of surface rivers played an important role in the formation of buried stone bud and stone forest.

Characteristic scenic spots

The most distinctive features of the scenic spot are the Linyin stone forest and the eighteen caves. As early as the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty (1729 A.D.), they were jointly developed by two local celebrities Lai qiaoqian and Lai Yunsheng. It took six years to build pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions and Linyin Academy. "Scale hidden" takes the meaning of "Heaven conceals its trace" and gets its name because the surface of the stone bud is fish scale. Many buildings built by the Lai brothers are still preserved. The eighteen caves are completely different from the scale hidden stone forest, or the direction of the stones is completely opposite. The landscape of the stone forest points to the sky, while most of the stalactites in the eighteen caves point to the ground from the top of the stone wall, which is different from the stone forest landscape.

Scenic spot development

It was 1984 that Yongan stone forest was really developed vigorously, and then there were several key developments, which made the stone forest have a magnificent exterior, like natural bonsai; the interior is like underground labyrinth, and the side view is beautiful and chic, so it is known as "natural stone zoo".
