It’s not Iceland. Zhejiang actually has the same columnar basalt. It’s amazing!

It's not a catchy title!!! It's really a columnar basalt formed by the eruption of volcanic rocks 🌋 hundreds of millions of years ago!!! The same style as Iceland✔️ is in Shishe Village, Shengzhou, Shaoxing. There are nearly a dozen places with tens of millions of basalt columns, wild on the roadside, no one, super suitable for shooting blockbusters!!! If you like natural landscapes, you can rush🏃🏻‍♀️~ 🌟Large and small stone columns are neatly arranged, layered, and lined up 🔥This is formed by the cooling of volcanic magma after eruption. That is to say, millions of years ago, there were flames here, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked... I admire the uncanny workmanship of nature! 🏷️tips: 📌Basalt columnar joints are "a geological phenomenon in which relatively homogeneous magma, during the condensation process, is cracked into regular pentagonal, hexagonal or even heptagonal columns due to uniform cooling and contraction, and these columns are closely arranged together." 📌Shengzhou basalt is estimated to have been formed 10 million years ago and belongs to the Neogene 📍Just navigate to Zhejiang Shengzhou basalt, 30 minutes from the city 🎫Free, parking lot available🅿️ ❤️Maybe the basalt alone is not attractive enough for you to come and see it, you can also visit Shengzhou's Yue Opera Town, eat various snacks on Yuexiu Road, Chongren Ancient Town, and Qiankou Village Lotus Pond. It's quite good to spend a leisurely weekend~
