Tucked away in the Hunan Province of China is Wulingyan. The area is best known for its many (more than 3000) quartzite pillars.
There are a portion of the pillars that rise above 800m (2600ft). Due to the historical and natural importance of the area, it has been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The entire location actually has several national parks. When considering the quartzite pillars, remember that quartzite was originally sandstone and then was morphed under intense heat and pressure.
Since I am nearing 100 views on the site, my next post will focus on UNESCO, that way everyone can have a better understanding of it.
