No wonder it's a natural relic from 3 million years ago, it's amazing!

In the mysterious and colorful land of Guizhou, there are countless breathtaking natural wonders. Among them, the Guanling Potholes are undoubtedly the most dazzling gem, attracting countless tourists with their unique geological charm and long history. Explore the Earth's Memory Guanling Potholes are located in Dongzha Group, Puzhou Village, Duanqiao Town, Guanling Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, about 29.5 km in a straight line from the downstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall, a national 5A-level scenic spot. This magical land witnessed the glacial movement of the Earth 3 million years ago, leaving countless pothole wonders of various shapes. These potholes, like artworks carved by Mother Earth, are embedded in the valleys, filled with crystal-clear pools of water, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and are breathtakingly beautiful. The formation of potholes is direct evidence of the Ice Age. Two to three million years ago, when thick ice sheets covered the Earth, glacial meltwater flowed inside the ice sheets. Due to the enormous pressure, these water flows impacted and ground the bedrock and glacial boulders in the form of "cylindrical water drills," eventually forming deep pits. These pits recorded the environmental changes at that time and became valuable materials for studying ancient climates, ancient human living environment changes, and the evolution of human-land relationships. A Paradise for Hikers Guanling Potholes are not only a representative of natural wonders but also a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. There are rich hiking routes here, starting from Guanjiao Village and crossing the river to Dahua Land, with a total length of about 6 km, including about 3 km of river sections. The hiking time is about 3-5 hours, with moderate difficulty, and along the way, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the pothole group and feel the magic of nature. During the hike, you can see potholes of various shapes, some are round, some are oval, and some are irregular, with different sizes, ranging from tens of centimeters to several meters in diameter. These potholes are like masterpieces of nature, each hiding a story forgotten by time. Standing on the edge of the potholes, you can hear the sound of time gently flowing here, and every drop of water carries the past and future of the Earth.
