This image is included in 4 galleries :- 1) "Most Beautiful Landscapes !!!" curated by Linnea Sw, 2) "Most Outstanding Landscapes in the World" by mark doyle, 3) "Landscape Images" by Jacobus Coetzee and 4) "un viaje maravilloso" by BYKTOR-f.d.

 

This landscape belongs to the sandstone peak forest landform in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. Crustal uplift changed the sedimentary rock stratum into a hilly and mountainous area, then the sandstone was carved by exogenic processes like weathering and erosion into rugged rock pillars.

 

西海峰林, 位於索溪峪景區的西部。為一盆地型峽谷峰林群,千姿百態,林木蔥蘢茂密,有“峰海”、“林海”之稱。春夏或秋初雨後初晴,則云如浪濤,或湧或翻,或奔或瀉,鋪天蓋地,極為壯觀,譽為“雲海”。三“海”合一即為西海之特色。
