The Loess Plateau in Longdong and Longzhong is generally 2,000–3,000 meters above sea level, making it the highest part of the Loess Plateau. It is home to thousands of gullies and fertile fields. The Loess Plateau has been shaped by wind, water, and time, creating a series of unique landscapes. The Yellow River Stone Forest is located in Longwan Village, Zhongquan Township, southeast of Jingyuan County, Gansu Province. The scenic area is bordered by the winding Yellow River to the north and the continuous eroded hills to the south. The Yellow River flows from east to west through the scenic area, which mainly includes the Yinma Gully, Panlong Cave Guanyin Cliff, and Diwan, three main scenic spots. Looking down from the air, the deep canyon formed by the Yellow River Valley is due to the strong uplift of the earth's crust, coupled with rain erosion and gravity collapse, forming cliffs and precipices up to 80-200 meters high.
