Shuicheng Peak Forest
The area surrounding the urban district of Liupanshui City. "Of all the famous mountains under heaven, only here forms a peak forest." The peaks rise abruptly, standing tall and imposing, with jagged rocks creating a myriad of forms; between the mountains lie calm rivers and lakes, reflecting the beautiful peaks; the mountains also feature many peculiar caves, where stalactites, stalagmites, and stone flowers form a dazzling array of karst landscapes within, making it a veritable "Dragon-Phoenix Underground Palace" on Earth.
The peak forest landform, also known as conical karst mountain scenery. Over the long geological ages, the carbonate rock strata in the Liupanshui region, through the effects of water erosion, weathering, and crustal movements, have formed a karst mountain landscape composed of conical hills (peaks) and polygonal solution depressions.
