What travelers say:

The mudstone forest scenic spot is located in the mud town in the southeast of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province. It is an important member of China's Xingyi National Geopark. It is a Daojiayan in Shishan Village in the west, Yangjiawan from the northeast to Powei Village, about four kilometers long and two kilometers wide from the north to the south. The stone peak stands tall, thousands of green, more than 3,000 mu. No artificial carving, maze-like stone forest landscape, formed in the Paleozoic, the karst land is well preserved, is a resort for researching the Triassic. We drove less than 10 kilometers east from the former residence of He Yingqin in Nilu Town to the empty gate of the mudstone forest scenic spot. When navigating, I found that the scenic spot was temporarily closed, but I felt that the distance was not far away, and I came to the scenic spot with the psychology of trying it out. The small roads in the scenic area are scattered with leaves, which seem to have not been cleaned for a long time, but this adds nature and mystery. According to the data, in 270 million years ago, this was a sea of oceans, the sea floor gradually formed a limestone sedimentary area, with the movement of the crust and the compression from the sea floor uplift, after millions of years of rain washed and weathered, the part of the mixed sediment peeled a little bit, The part without sediment was retained, about two million years ago, formed these strange peaks, pillars, stone rafts, stone buds, looking like a wild forest, so the name "stone forest". After investigation, Xingyi mudstone forest scenic spot formed in the intersection of north-east to north-east main fault and branch fault, for the karst peak depression landform, terrain rugged, peaks stacked, cone peak slopes are full of north-east and north-west vertical joint cracks, Cutting the rock formation into "board format structure" is these lithology, structure and dissolved action and other factors, controlling the formation and development of stone forest. The typical scenic spots of Xingyi mud stone forest scenic spot are stone forests represented by squash, Daijiaba, Fengpo Bay, and Shijing is exquisite and chic, uneven, vivid and moving. From the hanging well dam Tiankeng to Chaotianzui, Guanyin Rock to the road slope, the mountain scenery stretching more than ten miles, the mountain scenery, the momentum, the cloud mountain fog sea, the scene is thousands. In addition, there are a combination of quiet, deep, far and dangerous Bodhisattva caves and Baima Caves and other cave landscapes. The scenic spot is very ornamental. There is no one in the scenic spot, quiet, only the sound of birdsong and the sound of squeaking leaves. We walked along the path in the scenic spot and came to a fork in the road and saw the standard scenic spot guide sign. Determined, first chose to go left, to the phoenix drinking water and auspicious three treasures direction. Not far away, on the right side of the road appeared a stone peak, like a sharp sword, pointed directly at the blue sky. Lifting eyes, wonderful scenery, stone, stone pillars up, shaped like rare birds and animals, some are like characters, thousands of shapes, lifelike. But the road continues to the left, can not directly reach this stone forest. Along the mountain road, several twists and turns to this stone forest. Looking up at the "Optimus pillar" that stands out above the peaks, like feeling its peak inserted into the sky, and the sky was lifted high; "Lijian Peak" like a sharp sword piercing the blue sky; "the old man who picks medicine" must have a smile, and climbs with a stick; "Golden Monkey Looking at the Moon" is free, looking up at the starry sky... The earth-breaking peaks and rocks are competing to become forests. People are named after various beautiful attractions according to their natural form, such as "group elephants competing for drinks" and "Eagle Exhibition".
