Yellow River Stone Forest

The Yellow River Stone Forest is in Jingtai County, in the southeast of that county, where the river enters, bends north at Longwan and cuts a deep canyon. The municipal culture bureau lists it apart from the wetlands of Baiyin District and apart from the city's mine park. Jingtai media describe yellow-brown sandy conglomerate, carved by crustal movement, weather and rain, standing beside an omega-shaped bend. The municipal profile calls the site a 4A scenic area and a national geopark.
