The Wulingyuan peak forest landform
The Wulingyuan peak forest landform in Zhangjiajie represents a unique geomorphic and physicogeographical feature. The peak forest was developed in Devonian Taiyunguan and Huangjiadeng formations, with a distribution area of 86km2. It is a world-rare and unique landform formed in a special tectonic position and under particular conditions of neotectonism and exogenous processes. More than 3,000 rock peaks aloft within the area, of which 1,000 peaks exceed 200m in height, and Jinbianyan exceeds even 350m. The individual geometry includes mesa, platform, peak wall, peak cluster, peak forest, crosscut, stone door, natural bridge and valley, etc. The geopark is centralized by its sandstone peak forest unparalleled in the world, lined with karst landscape, and has many geological heritages such as shaped geological sections, special fossil relic. These constitute a geomorphic assembly of sandstone peak forest with particular characteristics
