Western wilderness "City of the Devil".

Datong Earth Forest is famous for its rich erosion and weathering phenomena and numerous sedimentary landscapes, and is known as the natural "sedimentology laboratory" in North China. Unlike other earth forests, Datong Earth Forest is not isolated on the wilderness, but hidden below the horizon, like a secret treasure of the earth. Stepping into Datong Earth Forest is like entering an ancient and mysterious magical world. Every step is on the loess deposits of hundreds of millions of years, and every inch of land under your feet seems to be telling a story of thousands of years. Datong Earth Forest, a unique and spectacular geological landform in the north, is the Paleolithic cultural site of the Nihewan Basin, the "cradle of ancient Oriental human culture". The magical landform was formed by thousands of years of water erosion. It is located on the banks of the Sanggan River, on the edge of the Datong Basin. The uncanny workmanship of nature has created the strange and mysterious landform of the earth forest. It is difficult to tell whether you have landed on Mars or another world. The earth forest within a radius of 1,000 meters shows the desolate and solemn beauty of the Loess Plateau.
