Yuanmou Pingtian Earth Forest: An undeveloped virgin land, ideal for group travel by car

👉In addition to the well-developed Wumao Earth Forest and Langbapu Earth Forest, there is another earth forest called "Banguo" that has been difficult to find. I even found Banguo Village, but later learned that it is no longer called Banguo Earth Forest, but Pingtian Earth Forest. 👉Pingtian Earth Forest is currently undeveloped and has no visitor center. Only the words "Pingtian Earth Forest" are embedded on the earth peaks by the roadside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🌈Highlights: 1️⃣From a drone's perspective, the main ditch of Pingtian Earth Forest is several kilometers long, and the earth forest is mainly distributed on both sides of the main ditch and its branches, giving a vast forest-like feeling. 2️⃣The earth forest has a variety of shapes, including castle-like, city wall-like, and screen-like formations. However, overall, it lacks the strong sculptural feel of Wumao Earth Forest and the towering peaks of Langbapu. 3️⃣Because the earth peaks are not very tall and seem underdeveloped, visitors have the opportunity to climb to the top and overlook the area, which is impossible in Wumao and Langbapu. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🌼Tour route: 1️⃣Since Pingtian Earth Forest is not fully developed, there is no visitor center or walking trails. Only trampled dirt paths with traces can be found. You can enter from the small path in the middle and upper part of the earth forest by turning around at the "Pingtian Earth Forest" earth peak. 2️⃣In fact, at the lowest point of the earth forest, at the intersection of the main sand ditch and the road, you can drive in. However, after about 500 meters, the sand in the ditch increases. It is recommended to enter with multiple four-wheel drive vehicles (with recovery boards and tow ropes). I had to give up that day with a two-wheel drive vehicle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🚗Address and transportation: 1️⃣Pingtian Earth Forest is located 13 km northwest of Yuanmou County, about 175 km from Kunming City and 110 km from Chuxiong City. Navigate to Pingtian Earth Forest to reach the earth peak with the words "Pingtian Earth Forest" embedded. Turn right along the road to find a small open space for parking. 2️⃣Since you usually don't visit a single attraction in one place, it is recommended to drive or rent a car in Yuanmou to visit multiple attractions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🎫Ticket information: 1️⃣No tickets or parking fees are required. ✨Tips: 1️⃣It is not recommended to enter at noon due to strong light. 2️⃣Wide-angle and medium-focus lenses are relatively practical, and drones are essential. 3️⃣It is recommended to visit in groups, preferably with multiple cars entering from below, to see more spectacular earth peaks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
