Unusual Rocks

　　　　Guizhou’s unique geological structure and landform environment have created an exceptionally rich resource of ornamental rocks. These include the nationally and internationally renowned Guizhou Green Stone, Panjiang Stone, Wujiang Stone, Jiangshuihe Stone, and Natural Landscape Stone; unparalleled vertebrate fossils such as the Hu’s Guizhou Dragon; and the “Rose of the Plateau” quartz cluster that has brought honor to Guizhou. Guizhou’s ornamental rocks come in a dazzling array of shapes and colors, accounting for about one-fourth of the country’s total. Guiyang showcases the finest of these ornamental rocks, with exhibitions currently held at local sites such as Cuiwei Garden and Yangming Shrine.
