Guangling Ice Pits, the remnants of a galaxy from two million years ago await your discovery!

👣Hello, friends! Today, I'm going to take you through time to explore the mysterious place hidden in Dongzha Group, Pozhou Village, Duanqiao Town, Guangling County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province—the Guangling Ice Pits!🌄 💧The Guangling Ice Pits, seemingly the remnants of a galaxy left from the glacial period two million years ago, each stone tells an ancient story.📖 The riverbed here is entirely made up of stones, with strangely shaped stone pits and ponds scattered like stars, making one feel as if they are in a fantastical stone world!🌈 🌊The mysterious name 'Ice Pits' actually hides the magical power of nature. They were formed during the late Quaternary glacial period. As the glaciers melted, the snow water rushed down through the cracks, day after day, year after year, eventually scouring deep circular holes in the hard rock. These holes, 'small mouth, big belly, flat bottom,' resemble the stone mortars used for pounding rice in the south, hence the name Ice Pits.💦 🚶‍♀️Hiking is the best way to explore the Guangling Ice Pits. The total distance from the starting point to the end is about 8 kilometers, and it takes about 5 to 7 hours to hike and enjoy the trip. Although the journey is somewhat long, the scenery along the way is definitely worth the effort!🏞️ 🌤️The best time to visit is during the winter and spring when it's the dry season, and you can walk freely in the river valley to feel the magical charm of the Ice Pits up close. During the summer and autumn rainy seasons, the valley streams overflow, and you can only stand by the river and watch from a distance. So, friends, remember to choose a cloudy or sunny day to go!☀️ 🎒Get your hiking gear ready, bring a good mood, and come explore the Guangling Ice Pits! The beautiful scenery awaits your discovery and sharing!👟
