Datong Clay Forest, locally known as "Shiban Gou", is currently the only known clay forest scenic spot in North China. The divine craftsmanship of nature has created the eerie and mysterious terrain of the earth forest. When you step into this place, it is difficult to understand that you have landed on Mars and are still trapped in the demon realm.
Looking around, the uniqueness of the earth forest is dazzling, like a castle rather than a castle, like a sculpture but not a sculpture. Some dog teeth intertwine and stand tall, it must be the geography of the heavenly realm; Some are continuous, like the ancient Great Wall reappearing; Some live alone, like hermits relaxing; Some are in groups of three or five, as strict as castles.
To the south of the earth forest extends into a peaceful water area, standing by the shore and gazing out. In the reflection of the water, the earth forest is even more mysterious and elusive, as if in the realm of Brahma. Under different types of sunlight, the earth forest presents different styles, either shining with golden light or red like flames, with a magnificent momentum, which is favored by many photography enthusiasts.
