Zhangjiajie in all its glory

After a spell of rain, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan province awoke like a fairyland come to life. At the "Sky Terrace" in the Wulingyuan scenic area, mist coiled around the mountain ridges, with the terraced fields faintly visible. In Yuanjiajie, the towering sandstone pillars pierced through the gauzy clouds, their majestic presence even more awe-inspiring in the haze. The winding Jinbian creek meandered through the valley, its crystal-clear waters dancing playfully among the bizarre rock formations, breathing vitality into the scene.
When the first rays of morning light broke through the clouds, it cast a golden glow over the freshly washed forests.

There are some very strange and picturesque mountains in China - for example the ones in the article above, and the Karst Mountains around Yangshuo, and areas north and south of Guilin in Guangxi Province. I took the cruise through those Karst Mountains on the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo, and took photos along the way, with this as an example:
The mountains in the article are sandstone, whereas the Karst Mountains are limestone, but both turn into unusual formations.
I like to look at your photos of china from time to time, but I really dont have anything to say about it other than it would make a good setting for a fantasy movie. .
Those pictures are beautiful Buzz, China is on the bucket list of places to Visit, it has such a diverse range of things to do and see.
Before I came here I had no idea what fantastic and magical things I would be seeing and experiencing. It is a whole different world that I can only recall having previously imagined from the poem Kubla Khan. One comes to realize why Marco Polo spent 17 years in China.
