Nanjing | French fries mountain formed 10 million years ago, so spectacular

|The French Fry Mountain, formed 10 million years ago, is so spectacular. Nanjing | The French Fry Mountain, formed 10 million years ago, is so spectacular. In my notes yesterday, I introduced Lianshan Bashang Grassland to you. It can be seen that everyone is very interested in a one-day trip to Liuhe. Next, we would like to introduce another attraction on this line, Liuhe National Geopark, which is a 20-minute drive from Lianshan Grassland. Liuhe National Geopark is the first national geopark in Nanjing. More than ten years ago, I learned about the magic of Shitiao Mountain in "National Geographic China", which we also call "French Strip Mountain". Now, the world's rare "Stone Pillar Forest" of Guizi Mountain has finally been discovered in Nanjing. After investigation and demonstration by geological experts and scholars from New Zealand, Australia and China, This is where the volcano erupted 9 to 10 million years ago. The basalt magma sprayed onto the ground, cooled, slowly shrank and cracked, forming "columnar joints" in different shapes, such as hexagonal and pentagonal. The arrangement is orderly and spectacular. Of course, all the volcanoes in Nanjing Liuhe area are extinct volcanoes. There is free parking in the scenic area. Tickets are 18 yuan, and annual park passes are available. If you are interested in Yuhua Stone, you can drive 20 minutes south to visit Liuhe Yuhua Stone Geological Park, where you can really pick up Yuhua Stone!
