If the Yamei Stone Forest makes you feel strange or even a little unforeign, then Inkstone Park or even exotic planets may seem familiar and attractive.
Inkstone Park is located at the junction of Kama Village and Zhonggu Village in Daofu Bamei Town, Kardze Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and is now planned for some Sichuan-Tibet 318 lines. This “China’s most beautiful landscape avenue” has eight wonders along the way: magnificent grassland, gentle wetland, fantasy ink stone, characteristic houses, plateau flowers, golden autumn, white pagoda holy temple, sunrise and sunset. Among them, the natural landscape of inkstone is included in it, and it is known as “the eighth most beautiful landscape avenue in China”.
Our country is large, in fact, there are a lot of stone forests, take the stone forest of Kunming, Kunming’s Lunan County is a very concentrated karst landform area, the stone forest area here has reached more than 400 square kilometers, extremely large, large and small stone forests, long lake, moon lake, wind cave, etc., are amazing, especially those like raw stone, is even more breathtaking, in addition, Qiandao Lake, Jiangxi, Chongqing and other places have their own characteristics of karst landscape tourism scenic spots. So how is the stone forest in Inkstone Park different from these?
Kunming Stone Forest
Karst landform in China is also called karst landform, divided into surface and underground two, usually affected by the groundwater table, with the change of water surface, the water surface as the erosion base, and then if the crust can rise stably for a long time, the limestone layer gradually develops into a gully, funnel, sinkhole, etc., gradually developing. But the magic and diversity of nature is unimaginable, which makes for the unique Inkstone Park.
The Earth’s crust in the Yami area is very active, forming the famous fresh water fault zone, and Inkstone Park is a product of the fresh water fault zone. The rock mass in the fault zone is squeezed, broken and chymethinized, forming mylonite (dynamic metamorphic rock with very fine grains distributed in bands), and the glue structure of these mylonites is evacuated, and after being subjected to wind and rain, gravity, etc., it becomes like a stone forest.
In addition to the formation process is different from other stone forests, its color is also unique. Other stone forests may be indistinguishable at first glance, but I guarantee that if you have seen Inkstone Park, you can distinguish it well from the others, thanks to its color. The stone forest in Inkstone Park is gray, a kind of gray that is difficult to imagine, the gray that exists in nature, spring, summer, autumn and winter rotate, this gray is unique in the white, blue, green and yellow of the four seasons, when the spring and summer are green and tender, this stone forest looks immature and handsome, in autumn in the red and yellow leaves, grass branches, the gray stone forest becomes vibrant and hopeful, and the winter is dotted with a touch of white, this stone forest looks solemn and solemn. In short, it is beautiful in all seasons and has thousands of people.
In addition, the surroundings of Ink Stone Park can also enjoy very simple and natural pastoral scenery, Tibetan-style houses, idle yak herds, field crops… It’s hard to imagine that there is such a place in western Sichuan where you can “see the South Mountain leisurely”.
There is a very unique and irreplaceable scenery in the park – Daofu Bajie. These are 8 kinds of plants that grow in Daofu, namely: Daofu barberry, Daofu sedum, Daofu azalea, Daofu fragrant tea vegetables, Daofu saxifrage, Daofu fly grass, Daofu gentian, and mango bud grass. The seven species are titled with the word Daofu, and the other is a distant and long living fossil of a plant, which has a history of more than 200 million years and is only a plant in China.
And Inkstone Park is also a good place for parent-child trips or geological science lovers, the geological museum here clearly introduces the impact of the new tectonic movement on Daofu, the formation of the Xianshui River fault zone and mylonite, and there are many representative specimens, photos, etc., take children here to enrich their knowledge, appreciate the beautiful scenery of inkstone, feel the wonder of being on an “alien planet”, and enjoy the idyllic life in the leisure Tibetan area, which is really pleasant.
Maji Ami Tibetan travel, focusing on niche travel routes, more Tibetan travel niche routes, no man’s land crossing, Tibetan area travel information welcome to pay attention to the WeChat public account: Sichuan-Tibet Line (on the Sichuan-Tibet Line these three words, plus yellow V authentication, the same as the avatar of this subscription account), we set off together to see the beauty of western China that others cannot see.
