Zanda Earthen Forests

The orogenic movement of the Himalayas has made the bottom of the lake ascend. And the undulating earthen forest of dozens of kilometers were formed by the flushing of water subsidence and long years of weathering. Walking in these narrow earthen forests as if a walk in the ruins of an ancient kingdom, desolate but magnificent. (It takes a dozen hours from Shiquenhe to the earthen forests and the trip covers 255 kilometers. You can hire a car to go and back for three or four days and daily cost is 800 yuan. The earthen forests are close to the Zanda County seat. It can be reached on foot from the county seat.)
