Zhangjiajie

Picture
The Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (Chinese: 湖南张家界国家森林公园) is a unique national forest park located in Zhangjiajie City.

In 1982 it was recognized as China's first national forest park and is part of the much larger Wulingyuan Scenic Area. In 1992, Wulingyuan was officially recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and in 2004 it was listed as a UNESCO Global Geopark.

The most notable geographic features of the park are the pillar-like formations that are seen throughout the park. Much of the erosion which forms these pillars are the result of expanding ice in the winter and the plants which grow on them. These formations are a distinct hallmark of Chinese landscape, and can be found in many ancient Chinese paintings.
