ℹ️ About

The Yuanmou Earth Forest in Yuanmou County, Chuxiong, is where the "earth forest" landform was first identified and named. Shaped by water erosion and weathering, it covers 42.9 square kilometres with earth pillars up to 42.8 metres tall, in groups such as Wumao, Langbapu and Banguo, and is one of Yunnan's "three forests" with the Stone Forest and the Luliang coloured sand forest. Langbapu was upgraded to a national 4A attraction in 2025.
