Make sure to check the sunset time to see a different view.

In the quiet of the Shanxi Datong Earth Forest, gaze at the distant horizon at dusk, and the whole place is bathed in a warm orange glow, like a grand painting unfolding before your eyes. About 40 km from Datong city, it feels like stepping into another world. On this vast land, time seems to slow down, and the sky gradually turns red and purple, blending with the golden sunset. The light and shadow dance, and a gentle breeze carries the dry scent of earth and the fragrance of distant wild grass. In the lens, the Earth Forest looks even more mysterious in the afterglow of the sunset. They are like giant stones carved by time, layered and varied in shape. Those irregular lines and shapes seem to tell stories of a forgotten past. If you look closely, it seems as if there are ancient marks left on the stones, bearing witness to history. In the light of the setting sun, these Earth Forests seem to be infused with life. Looking at the colorful land bathed in the glow of the sunset, it is like a poem or a painting. Looking at the distant sky dyed red by the sunset, it is like a giant oil painting hanging in the sky. And you stand on that land, feeling the magnificence and beauty of nature. At this moment, the Shanxi Datong Earth Forest seems to be the most beautiful painting between heaven and earth, full of poetry and stories. It is a place that can intoxicate and fascinate, a paradise for photographers. At that moment, time seems to stand still, leaving only you and this beautiful land.
