These pillar like structures are located in 'Zhangjiajie in the Hunan Province of China', close to the Suoxi Valley. 'Tianzi' which means 'Son of Heaven' is named after the farmer Xiang Dakun of the Tujia ethnic group, who led a successful local farmers' revolt and called himself "tianzi," the traditional epithet of the Chinese emperor.
These tall marble towers go up to 1262.5 meters above sea level and pines grow all over the mountains.Often mist and clouds drape these mountains creating a mystic atmosphere.
Such a mystical environment, Hannah. Thank you for another opportunity to commune with nature.
ReplyDeleteI love that Kerry described the sight as "mystical," for it was the first thing that came to mind. Such stories under that fog... and through it.
