Red Stones Forest, Geological park in Guzhang County, China

The Red Stones Forest contains limestone formations spread across 20 square kilometers, featuring valleys, streams, springs, grasslands, and wild wisteria flowers.

The stone formations originated 450 million years ago during the Ordovician period when the area was a seabed, experiencing extensive erosion from rain and water.

The Corner Stone fossil serves as a reference point for stratigraphic age divisions while the site preserves traditional dances like Maogusi and hand-waving.

Visitors can reach the park by taking an hourly bus from Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station to Furong Town, followed by a short minibus ride.

The iron-rich rocks display different colors depending on weather conditions: red in sunshine, black in rain, and brownish-red during cloudy periods.
