Shitang Forest, Awe-inspiring volcanic rock formations

Located within the Arxan National Forest Park in Arxan City, Xing'an League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

Maintain the most complete volcanic lava landscape

Introduction

Shitanglin is characterized by volcanic eruptions, rather than picturesque landscapes. Visiting this place, everywhere you can see complex and rugged giant lava conglomerates, which is amazing. These lava concretions are not regular or aesthetically pleasing, unlike traditional "stone formations". However, the lava concretions in Shitanglin still have their charm. The land here is shaped by volcanoes, as if there is nothing else but this land. Standing on this magical land, you will have a feeling of rooting and searching for roots. There are no fences or railings restrictions here, tourists can climb, touch, smell and listen at will, and may hear sounds from hundreds of thousands of years ago. This strange phenomenon can be unsettling, because the landform here is formed by ancient volcanoes, making the past and present no longer distant. Therefore, it is not surprising why people always want to linger in this unremarkable "stone formation", because there is a call buried deep in their hearts, waiting to be illuminated. When exploring Shitanglin, please be careful, because the volcanic relics here are in their primitive state, and safety must be ensured before proceeding.
