Through crustal movement, erosion and dissolution, this beautiful geological spectacle was formed.

Millions of years

Walking into the red stone forest, the first feeling is walking into the deep sea.

Shuttle back and forth in the rugged stone path, let the skin feel the wrinkles of the earth in the touch, the rough stone is shining red and gorgeous under the feet

According to geological experts, the red stone forest was once the sea, with geological fission and vicissitudes, making it a wonderful place in the world.

Any geological fission is intentional by heaven and earth.

During the Ordovician period 450 million years ago, the Yangtze ancient sea was reborn in countless times of vigorous fission.

The sea has fallen for several times, and the mountains have risen in turn. Among them, a large area of sea area in Guzhang County of Western Hunan has become a stone forest.

In the darkness of hundreds of millions of years, a large amount of mixed sediment deposited on the bottom of the Yangtze ancient sea has been quietly transformed into red texture through crustal movement, erosion and dissolution.

When the sea fades away, they will appear in the sky, showing their wonders, and become the only red carbonate stone forest formed in the Cambrian in the world.

People marvel that in Zhangjiajie, not far from the red stone forest, the same mountains and rocks stand up, and the same is the creation of the sea, but different from the red stone forest.

The sea in Zhangjiajie is majestic in appearance, sharp in heart, and open-minded; the sea in red stone forest seems to be red and flamboyant, passionate and romantic, but in fact it is skillful and gentle

.

Perhaps, the red stone forest was once a gentle shallow sea.

A child, with a pair of slender hands, caresses the clear trilobite fossil on the stone - the first intimate contact between a fresh life and a billion year old life.

Qi Laohan, 75, whose Tujia folk songs reverberate in the sky of Tianchi Lake -- an old man, no matter how old a nation is, is just a drop in the ocean hundreds of millions of years ago

.

Red stone forest is the place of eternity.

Time is beautiful, everything changes in turn, in the folds of these stones, just for a moment.
