Wulingyuan

Wulingyuan Scenic Spot is located in the northwest of Hunan Province, central China. Its longitude is 110 20'30 ~110 41'15 and latitude is 29 16'25 ~29 24'25. It is composed of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie City, Suoxiyu Nature Reserve in Cili County and Tianzishan Nature Reserve in Sangzhi County. It covers 369 square kilometers and has more than 3000 strange peaks, of which 243 are above 1000 meters above sea level.

Wulingyuan is located at the junction of quartz sandstone and limestone. The large limestone karst landform in the northern part of the scenic area has been eroded and dissolved by rivers for hundreds of millions of years, forming numerous karst caves, falling water caves, skylights and springs. The forest coverage of Wulingyuan Scenic Spot is 67%. There are more than 400 species of wild animals and 850 species of woody plants, including three species of leopard, clouded leopard and yellow-bellied pheasant, and 25 species of giant salamander, rhesus monkey and pangolin. There are five national first-level protected plants, including Davidia involucrata, Bole tree and Taxus chinensis, and 16 secondary protected plants, such as Taxus chinensis, Eucommia ulmoides and Magnolia officinalis.

Wulingyuan is called a natural maze, a geological museum, a kingdom of forests, a hundred gardens of plants and a paradise for wildlife. In 1992, it was listed in World Natural Heritage . In 2004, it was listed as the first batch of national "World Geopark" and in 2007, it was awarded the first batch of national AAAAA-level tourist attractions.

Historical evolution

In 1984, when Hu Yaobang, then general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, visited the area, he named the three scenic spots of Zhangjiajie, Suoxiyu and Tianzishan as "Wulingyuan" .

In August 1988, Wulingyuan Scenic Area was listed in the second batch of national key scenic spots.

In 1992, Wulingyuan Natural Scenic Spot, composed of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and other three major scenic spots, was listed in the World Natural Heritage List by UNESCO.

In March 1995, Comrade Jiang Zemin inspected Zhangjiajie with his own inscription: "To build Zhangjiajie into a well-known tourist attraction at home and abroad".

In February 2004, Wulingyuan Scenic Area was listed as the first batch of world geological parks in China.

In 2007, it was listed in the first batch of national AAAAA tourist attractions in China.

Location context

Wulingyuan Scenic Spot is located in the northwest of Hunan Province, central China. It is located between 110 20'30 ~110 41'15, 29 16'25 ~29 24'25. It is composed of Zhangjiajie Forest Park in Zhangjiajie City, Suoxiyu Nature Reserve in Ci The total area is about 500 square kilometers.

geographical environment

Geological characteristics

Wulingyuan area is located in the third uplift zone of Xinhua Xia in the regional tectonic system. During the geological history period, Wuling-Xuefeng, Indosinian, Yanshan, Himalayan and neotectonic movements were roughly experienced. The Wuling-Xuefeng movement laid the foundation structure of Wulingyuan area. Indosinian movement shaped the basic tectonic and geomorphological framework of Wulingyuan area, and Himalayan and neotectonic movements are one of the most basic internal factors for the formation of Wulingyuan's peculiar quartz sandstone peak forest landscape.

The strata that constitute the sandstone peak forest landform are mainly composed of Yuntaiguan Formation and Huangjiadun Formation of Middle and Upper Devonian in the Paleozoic. The strata show the characteristics of littoral clastic rocks. The rocks are pure, thick, flat bottom and well developed vertical joints. Rocks appear in syncline outline, reflecting the special geological structure environment and basic conditions for the formation of sandstone peak forest landform landscape. Runoff erosion and gravity collapse, biochemical and physical weathering effects of external geological activities are indispensable external conditions for shaping Wulingyuan landform landscape.

Geomorphological types

Zhangjiajie landform

Zhangjiajie geomorphology is a unique type of sandstone geomorphology. It is composed of quartz sandstone as the parent rock of landscaping. It is a landscaping landscape with straight edges and high stone pillar forests formed by flow erosion, gravity collapse, weathering and other forces. In the tectonic setting of the South China Plate and the humid sub-tropical zone, it is composed of middle and upper Devonian quartz sandstone with near-horizontal occurrence as the scenic parent rock, formed by flow erosion, gravity collapse, weathering and other forces, dominated by tall columnar forests with straight edges, as well as geomorphic landscapes represented by deep cut valleys, stone walls, Tianshengqiao, Fangshan and platforms.

- Quartz sandstone

Under the action of various external forces such as intermittent uplift and tilt of regional neotectonic movement, flow erosion and cutting, gravity, physical weathering, biochemistry and root splitting, the mountain body forms peak forest according to complex natural evolution process, showing the characteristics of high, flat and steep wall.

- Structural dissolution landforms

Wulingyuan tectonic dissolution landform, mainly exposed in the Permian and Triassic carbonate distribution area, covers an area of 30.6 square kilometers, can be divided into five sub-categories, can be called "western Hunan type" karst landscape typical representative. The main forms are karst lines, karst marks, karst funnels, karst ditches, stone buds, stone forests, holes, depressions, falling water caves, shafts, skylights, undercurrent, underground rivers, karst springs, karst caves, karst troughs, stone films, buried stone buds, funnels, etc. The karst caves are mainly concentrated in the north of Suoxiyu Valley and the south of Tianzi Shandong, with a total number of dozens. Huanglong Cave is the most typical cave, known as the "treasure house of cave science", which has special value in cave Science in terms of tourism and exploration.

- Denudation tectonic landforms

Denudation tectonic landforms are distributed in the Silurian detrital areas, and can be found in the Sanya category: single-sided mountain landforms in clastic rocks, in the horseneck boundary to Baihutang and Chaotianguan to Dajian area around the quartz sandstone peak forest landscape; Zhongshan landforms in Carp Ridge V valley, in Lake flat, Shijiayu, Huangjiaping and other areas; low mountain landforms in clastic rocks, distributed in the outer margin of mid mountains, with gentle slopes and open valleys. Broad V type.

Valley topography

The Valley landform types can be divided into fore-mountain flood fan, terrace and high floodplain. The former distributes in Shaping village and develops in the area of Jiaqiyu-Shijiayukou; two terraces are developed on both sides of Suoxi River, two terraces are base terraces, which are 3-10 meters higher than the river surface; and the high floodplains on Jundiping-Yujiazui line are developed with an area of 4-5 square kilometers.

- Geological Heritage Landscape

Sand lines and ripples on Devonian rock paintings on the echo wall of Wulingyuan Scenic Spot are rare geological relics, which can not only be visited, but also provide evidence for studying paleoenvironment and land-sea changes. Coral fossils distributed in the Permian strata of Tianzishan Mountains resemble tortoise-back patterns, so they are called tortoise-back fossils.

Climatic landscape

Cloud and mist are the most common meteorological wonders in Wulingyuan Scenic Spot. They are five forms: cloud and mist, cloud sea, cloud wave, cloud waterfall and cloud.

There are many weird rocks in Wulingyuan, which is a typical example. When weathering causes rock to break down, fragmentation, and water erosion causes it to collapse along the crack surface, it forms isolated stone pillars rising from the ground.

Footbridge

The remaining piers of overpass are six round stone pillars over 200 meters high, located in the valley and stream west of Huangshizhai, 300 meters apart from each other, arranged one by one, rising from the first stone pillar and decreasing from the fourth stone pillar one by one, forming an arched arc, which is very similar to a group of piers.

Turtle turtle

On the platform at the top of the stone peak, an oval rock about 5 meters long, 1 meter wide and 2 meters high rises slightly, much like a tortoise.
