Standing before the ochre-red rock walls, every line touched by your fingertips is a Morse code left by the ancient Yangtze Sea. A 500-million-year geological epic is slowly unfolding before your eyes— 🗺️ [Time Coordinates for Traveling Through the Ancient Sea] This magical realm, located in the Youshui River basin, was once a deep-sea kingdom where ancient trilobites roamed. The submarine-deposited carbonate rock layers have undergone three thrilling crustal movements, transforming into layers of red makeup in the tempering of time. The rock layers, which conceal crinoid fossils, still tell the story of the Cambrian period. 🌈 [A Breathing Palette of Secret Realms] When the scorching sun penetrates the clouds, the ochre-red rock mass is as fiery as a phoenix rising from the ashes. In the misty, rainy weather of the mountains, the entire stone forest transforms into the spine of a dark giant beast, looming in the mist. The most wonderful time is when the rain clears, and the moss and red rocks interweave to create a spectrum of warm and cool colors, like a paint can overturned by the gods. 🗿 [A Frozen Underwater Rhapsody] The towering "Listening to the Tide with Conch" rock pillar still maintains the rhythm of the ancient sea vortex. The layered stone mantles of the "Dragon Palace Corridor" seal the rhythm of ancient tides. The most mysterious is the "Seas Rot and Rocks Weather" rock group, with its reddish-brown mottled ripple rock layers, like a raging wave frozen in time. 🚗 Exploration Guide: ▫️ Coordinates: Hongshilin Town, Guzhang County, Xiangxi Prefecture ▫️ Only a 35-minute drive from Furong Town ▫️ It is recommended to wear dark/pure white clothing for better photos ▫️ Best viewing times: early morning when the mist has just cleared or at sunset When the neon lights of the city dim the starry sky, here, there is still the moonlight of the Cambrian period quietly flowing on the blood-colored rock layers...

As one of the core areas of the Xiangxi World Geopark, this site features a spectacular array of stone forests, peaks, pillars, and walls. The landscape is dotted with ancient fossils, steep sinkholes, and deep canyons, combining the elements of red hues, elegance, grandeur, uniqueness, magnificence, and antiquity, earning it the title "First Wonder of Wuling." The beauty of the Red Stone Forest lies in its journey from an ancient seabed and its countless formations. Even more magical is how the stone forest's colors change with weather, time, and seasons. Under direct sunlight, it glows fiery red like the legendary Flaming Mountain, in misty rain it turns dark brown, resembling a Chinese ink painting, and after the rain, the countless peaks magically transform into purple-red.

Redstone forests in China are mainly distributed in Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, and Chongqing, with a higher concentration near the Youshui River basin. The most surprising place on a trip to Western Hunan is the Redstone Forest, a 400-million-year-old Ordovician seabed world. The Redstone Forest rocks have a formation history of about 500 million years. The Redstone Forest region and the Zuolongxi Canyon belong to the same geological period known as the Yangtze Paleo-Sea. The seabed deposited a large amount of mixed mud and sand carbonate material. Through crustal movement and erosion and dissolution, this beautiful geological wonder was formed. The color of the Guzhang Redstone Forest changes with the weather. On a sunny day, it will be more reddish, and on a rainy day, it will be reddish-brown and slightly black. 📍Navigate to Hunan Xiangxi Guzhang Redstone Forest, a 30-minute drive from Furong Town 🎫Ticket: CNY 120/person, it is recommended to consider the Xiangxi All-Region Tourism Annual Card or buy a package ticket with Furong Town for CNY 160, which is more cost-effective. 🗺️Tour route: Yangtze Paleo-Sea - Human Pool - Ordovician Seabed - Flower Package - Ice Stone Couple - Observation Deck - Eight Great Gods - Fossil Zone - Lucky Gate - Heavenly Pool - Seabed Tunnel ⌛️Play time: about 1-2 hours 🚗Transportation: No need to book a car, call the staff of Furong Town Bus Station and they will pick you up. I called at 11:00 am, and it took about 10 minutes to arrive. One-way single person is CNY 15 (I asked for a chartered car for about CNY 180). The bus ride to Redstone Forest takes about 40 minutes. It will drive directly to the outside of the Redstone Forest Scenic Area and wait for you to finish your tour in the scenic area parking lot. You can leave your bags in the car or store them in the scenic area. The bus will return to Furong Town at around 3:00 pm. If you finish your tour early, the car may leave with you early. 📒One-day tour guide Morning: Redstone Forest Afternoon: Furong Town + Night View I hope all the babies can encounter good weather and take beautiful photos!

China's red stone forests are mainly concentrated in Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, and Chongqing, especially around the Youshui River basin. The rocks of the red stone forests were formed about 500 million years ago, and this area, along with the Zuolongxi Canyon, was located in the Yangtze Sea during the geological history. At that time, a large amount of carbonate material mixed with mud and sand was deposited on the seabed. After crustal movements and erosion and dissolution, this amazing geological wonder was created. ✨The color of Guzhang Red Stone Forest changes with the weather! On sunny days, the rocks are reddish; on rainy days, they are reddish brown, or even a bit black. So be careful when you visit! 📍Navigate to Guzhang Red Stone Forest in Xiangxi, Hunan, which is only a half-hour drive from Furong Town. 🎟The ticket price is CNY120 per person, but it is recommended to consider the Xiangxi All-Region Tourist Annual Pass, which is more cost-effective. 🗺Recommended tour route: Yangtze Sea → Human Pool → Ordovician Seabed → Flower Package → Ice Stone Couple → Observation Deck → Eight Great Gods → Fossil Area → Lucky Gate → Tianchi → Underwater Tunnel. ⏳The tour time is about 1 to 2 hours. 💖Perfect one-day tour: Visit the Red Stone Forest in the morning and Furong Town in the afternoon to enjoy the beautiful scenery and dazzling night view of Furong Town.

#nationalparks The Red Stone Forest National Geopark is located in the village of Jitong and Duanlong of the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Region, in Hunan Province in south-central China. The park covers an area of 20 square kilometers, it stretches on the banks of the Yuoshui River, opposite the famous ancient town of Fuzhong. In 2012, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People's Republic of China awarded the park the status of AAAA scenic area. The main feature of the national geopark is the natural red stone forest, formed during the Ordovician period (from 500 to 425 million years ago). Fossils of ancient animals are found here and there in the park, looking extremely realistic. One of the attractions of the park is the Corner Stone, also known as the "Stone Pagoda" or "Chinese Corner Stone", which is an extremely important fossil for scientific research and stratigraphy - determining the relative geological age of various geological formations. Another distinctive feature of the park is its deep caves and endless rows of red carbonate stones, the color of which varies depending on the weather and temperature. In summer, with the appearance of the hot sun, their color turns into a fiery red. On a cloudy day, it changes to burgundy and purple, and during a rainy day, the stones turn black. In addition to its important role in geological research, the park is also valuable in the tourism sector - karst formations, canyons, caves, lakes and waterfalls collected on its territory are unique scenic attractions. Folk customs and art of local residents living in the surrounding areas, such as the original dances "Maogusa" and "Waving", are included in the intangible cultural heritage of the state level. Thus, after visiting the park, you can not only get aesthetic pleasure by observing the natural landscapes and the unique way of life of national minorities, but also get acquainted with their history and culture. Red Stone Forest Park is 82 km from Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport and 27 km from the Guzhang exit of Zhangjiajie-Huayuan Highway, between Zhangjiajie and the ancient city of Fenghuang. To get to the park, the most convenient departure point will be Zhangjiajie City. The trip to the park takes about 2-3 hours. When departing Zhangjiajie at 8 or 9 a.m., you will have enough time to visit the park and Fuzhong City and then return to Zhangjiajie or continue your trip to the ancient city of Fenghuang.

The Spectacular Journey of the Red Stone Forest. Hello, everyone, I am Xiao Qiu, today I share with you the Red Stone Forest in Western Hunan The Red Stone Forest National Geopark is located in Guzhang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, situated at the central node of the Zhangjiajie-Fenghuang golden tourism corridor. It borders Yuanling County to the east, neighbors Luxi and Jishou counties to the south, and is bounded by the You River and Yongshun County to the north. It faces the famous Furong Town across the river. The rocks of the Red Stone Forest were formed about 450 million years ago and are red carbonate rock forests that have undergone a long geological formation. This area is known for its unique karst landforms, canyons, caves, lakes, springs, and waterfalls, and is of great geological research and aesthetic value. It is also located in the Cambrian Guzhangian stage, within the range of the 'Golden Spike' profile, and is one of the most precious geological relics in China and the world. The Red Stone Forest is a type of karst landform that is more commonly found in the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou in China, but they are mostly grey rock forests. The Guzhang Red Stone Forest, with its 'red skin color', is the only one of its kind in the country and is currently the only red carbonate rock forest formed in the Cambrian period in the world. Here, you can witness the underwater wonders of 500 million years ago, touch the fossils of ancient creatures with your own hands, and truly feel the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields. It also belongs to the ancient Yangtze Sea, which is the largest and most typical Ordovician sedimentary stratum in the world. After years of seawater erosion and cutting, and the sculpting of time, the stone pillars and peaks have formed in various shapes, spectacular and magnificent, and are known as China's most beautiful geological park. 🌟🌟🌟🌟Attraction Check-in Strategy: ✅Ordovician Seabed A vast and boundless underwater spectacle, it is considered the jewel of the Red Stone Forest. It is like an army ready to go, with soldiers neatly arranged, majestic and powerful, hence it is also known as the Stone Soldiers Formation. ✅Heavenly Pool After billions of years of wind and rain, this clear and green natural spring has been created. Surrounded by bizarre rocks, the red stones and green water intertwine into a beautiful painting, as if it is the masterpiece of nature's craftsmanship. ✅Five Golden Flowers On both sides of the Heavenly Pool, five huge stone pillars rise from the ground, like five budding lotuses. They are arranged from high to low, each with a different shape, just like blooming flowers, adding endless vitality to this land. ✅Ice Stone Couple Walking on the stone forest path of the Ordovician seabed, it feels like being in a maze. After passing through the winding path, the view suddenly opens up, and a sea of flowers comes into view. In this sea of flowers, two giant stones lean against each other, like a loving couple. They are about five meters tall, with lifelike shapes, as if telling a love story that lasts for billions of years. ✅Xiaolong Gorge This is a magical 'One Line Sky' landscape, like a natural air-conditioned room. Through the narrow stone steps, you come to a long stone passage. The narrowest part only allows one person to pass sideways, making one marvel at the magic and grandeur of nature. 📍Red Stone Forest Village, Guzhang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan 💰Ticket price: 120 yuan per person 🚅Take the high-speed train to Furong Town 🚌Take the bus from Furong Town to Red Stone Forest Village

| A wonderland of managed chaos. |||D1: Arrive at Furong Town Station in the afternoon - Furong Town Night View - Furong Town Performance D2: Furong Town-Youshui Gallery-Red Stone Forest-High Speed ​​Rail ·Special dishes: blood cake duck, bacon, duck feet, wild vegetables, glutinous rice cake ----Furong Town---- ·The town is very small and can be visited in 3 hours. The jump above the falls is closed at night, but the route below the falls that passes behind the falls is open all day. ·The scenery of the waterfall town is very unique, and the photos are very photogenic. In Shenpuying Square, you can see the panoramic view of the waterfall. ·Nothing good except for the scenery, the management is quite chaotic. Regarding how to purchase the boat ticket, the three staff members had different opinions. ·In addition, the historical cultural attractions such as Tusi Palace, Xizhou Bronze Pillars, and Tusi Temple are not open to the public. I don’t know what the scenic spots think. ----Youshui Gallery---- · Youshui Gallery can only purchase a boat ticket, which takes 1 hour one way to reach the Red Stone Forest. After visiting the Red Stone Forest, you can take the shuttle bus back to Furong Town for 30 minutes. ·Furong Town was a city during the Qin and Han Dynasties, also known as Youyang. With the help of You River, it connects to Sichuan and Guizhou and down to Dongting, which has earned the reputation of "Chu and Shu connect to Tianjin". You can revisit the path of the ancients by boat. ·If you are lucky, you can see little monkeys chasing the boat on the shore midway. But the scenery behind it is somewhat monotonous. ----Red Stone Forest---- ·It is worth visiting if you are interested in geology. The development of the park is very interesting. The towering red carbonate rock forest is divided into upper and lower levels for tours, including different landforms such as stone forests, canyons, and caves. And these are just the tip of the iceberg of what was once the Ordovician seabed. ·On ​​the rock surfaces and floor tiles in the scenic area, you can also see marine life fossils such as hornstones. ·The 60rmb instructor will paddle the entire course. The promised 1.5-hour explanation was compressed to 40 minutes. The experience was extremely poor. ·The return time of the shuttle bus was very different from what the scenic area staff said. The return time was 30 minutes earlier, and it was impossible to finish the park. ----Purchase tickets---- ·There are 3 types of tickets: 1. Tickets to Furong Town are valid for 2 days 2. Tickets to Furong Town are valid for 2 days + tickets to Red Stone Forest 3. Tickets to Furong Town are valid for 2 days + tickets to Youshui Gallery + tickets to Red Stone Forest ·Ticket 2 is suitable for self-driving or shuttle bus; Ticket 3 includes a 1-hour cruise to the Red Stone Forest and a 30-minute shuttle ride back to Furong Town. ·It is recommended to do it in one step, otherwise it will be much more expensive to make up the tickets later. · During the period of ticket 51, the boat only leaves three times a day. You need to go to the visitor center to ask about the boat schedule first to avoid missing it. ----Performance---- ·There are multiple performances a day in Furong Town, all of which are free. After watching the performance in Zhangjiajie, I found that the performance in Furong Town was completely different in terms of setting, arrangement, and actors.

#goout The Red Stone Forest National Geopark is a large red rock forest formed by the movement of the earth's crust lifting up the seabed sediments and undergoing weathering and water erosion. The stones have different shapes, which is very interesting. If you go higher, you can see a beautiful lake in the red stone forest.

The Red Stone Forest Scenic Area, about 15 kilometers away from Furong Town, was once the bottom of the Ordovician hundreds of millions of years ago. Later, under the erosion of seawater rain, a unique karst landform was formed, and the red color formed by iron elements has Danxia landform. The feeling, hence the name Red Stone Forest. It is a surprise to see such a landscape for the first time in the karst landform that has passed. It is a pity that when we went, it happened to rain, and the Red Stone Forest became a black stone forest, but it was still amazed by the magical nature of nature. The red stone forest will be much more beautiful than the rain on a sunny day. The best tourist season is summer, and the garden will be filled with small flowers. The ticket is 120 yuan.
