The strata deposited at the bottom of the lake have been cut by flowing water for a long time and gradually weathered and eroded. The “trees” in the clay forest are scattered for dozens of meters in height and in various shapes. Driving through it is like circling around the feet of many giants. As a special landform combination, the Zada Clay Forest has rich and varied forms. On a macro level, the undulating, overlapping, steep and gentle clay forests are spread along both sides of the Xiangquan River. It is a rare “clay forest landform” wonder in the world. These peculiar “soil forest” landforms were formed by the lake basin sedimentary layer in the ancient times under the influence of the Himalayan orogeny, as the water level dropped, the lake basin rose, and the climate and river erosion cut. The steep and rugged rocks look like towering castles, towers, pagodas, etc., which are famous natural landscapes in Ali region. However, about 1,100 years ago, in the same afterglow, the palaces and temples of the once powerful Guge Kingdom stood. From the existing ruins, we can imagine the huge scene at that time, which is far from the current scene. Viewing point: The Xiangquan River Valley terrace a few hundred meters south of the county seat is a good place to view the earth forest. Photography point: On the square near Toling Monastery, a few dozen meters deep from the square is the broad and flat Xiangquan River network. The earth forests on both sides of the river valley are crisscrossed, resembling castles, pagodas, bodhisattvas, and palaces, stretching for dozens of kilometers.
