Tracking a mountain of history

Moreover, tree roots and other plants penetrated deeply into the sandstone, aiding its breakdown and further influencing the park's unique terrain.

In the Tianzi Mountain area, a local guide pointed to a sandstone pillar, explaining to the crowd: "Over there, you can see a pine resembling a peacock with its tail spread, standing beside three smaller rocks beneath which is a larger rock. The entire formation resembles a boat. That's a famous attraction, 'Stone Boat Sailing Out to Sea'. It is particularly stunning when surrounded by clouds. That is the Wuling pine, a descendant of the horsetail pine. It is remarkably resilient."

Among over 500 ligneous plant species in the region, the Wuling pine is the most widespread and populous. The challenging ecological environment of the peaks shapes its identity — quartz sandstone retains little water, and the steep slopes hold minimal soil. To endure these harsh conditions, the Wuling pine has adapted by limiting its growth to conserve energy.

Its short, bristly needles withstand low temperatures, and its exposed roots work tirelessly to absorb every drop of moisture, from drizzle to mist.

Over millions of years, water erosion has crafted the sandstone pillars into a sanctuary for the Wuling pine and its fellow inhabitants, both flora and fauna, which together create a natural wonder.
