Zhada Earth Forest | A Unique Wonder from Ancient Times

| A Unique Wonder from Ancient Times.㊙️Zhada Earth Forest, over a million years ago, this place was a vast ocean spanning 500 kilometers. Due to the Himalayan orogeny, the lake basin rose and the water level dropped. After millions of years of weathering and erosion, this unique wonder was created! So, in one sentence, the Zhada Earth Forest we see today is the continental shelf from millions of years ago. ❗️There are indeed many tourists visiting Ali now, but most of them just take a quick look at the Zhada Earth Forest. Today, I will recommend a few excellent photography spots in the Zhada Earth Forest: ✅ Marang Viewing Platform: Located at the first intersection after exiting Zhada, turn left at a bend similar to the Panlong Ancient Road. It offers a panoramic view of the magnificent Zhada Earth Forest, making it an excellent spot for photography. ✅ Zhada Earth Forest Viewing Platform: Located near Zhada County, it offers a distant view of the snow-capped mountains and the layered earth forest, which is very impressive and perfect for taking large-scale photos. ✅ Sangda Viewing Platform: You can closely observe the strange mountains and rocks, and also have a distant view of the earth forest. It is also one of the best spots for sunrise and sunset photography. ✅ Xiayi Valley: This can be said to be the essence of the Zhada Earth Forest. The earth forest presents faint red, yellow, white, and blue colors, with strange and towering pillars standing alone, resembling humans or objects, more primitive and wild than the colorful Danxia. ✅ Guge Kingdom: Hidden within the Zhada Earth Forest is the mysterious Guge Kingdom, which was once glorious. Every casual shot here is a masterpiece. 📌Tips: Tickets🎫: Tickets are required for the Guge Kingdom, but other places are free of charge. Documents🪪: The Zhada Earth Forest is located in Ali, so you need to obtain a border pass. ⚠️Other Precautions: 1️⃣ High altitude area, strong ultraviolet rays, pay attention to sun protection and warmth. 2️⃣ Apart from Zhada County, which is at an altitude of about 3700 meters, most other places are above 4000 meters. Avoid strenuous exercise and be cautious of altitude sickness. 3️⃣ Do not deliberately damage the earth forest.
