Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area
A spectacular area stretching over more than 26,000
ha in China's Hunan Province, the site is dominated by more than 3,000
narrow sandstone pillars and peaks, many over 200 m high. Between the
peaks lie ravines and gorges with streams, pools and waterfalls, some 40
caves, and two large natural bridges. In addition to the striking
beauty of the landscape, the region is also noted for the fact that it
is home to a number of endangered plant and animal species.
