This landscape belongs to the sandstone peak forest landform in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. Crustal uplift changed the sedimentary rock stratum into a hilly and mountainous area, then the sandstone was carved by exogenic processes like weathering and erosion into rugged rock pillars. With pine trees on the top, the pillars look like Chines writing brushes. Legend has it that those are writing brushes left there by an emperor 向王 in ancient times.
"御筆峰"名字的由來: 原是石英砂岩地貌, 漫長沉積膠結的岩體, 因地殼抬升運動形成丘陵山地。由於風化、侵蝕等外力作用使原來完整的矽岩山地被切割成參差並列的石峰, 峰頂有松樹, 似幾枝倒插的毛筆, 相傳是向王天子兵敗時丟棄的御筆所化成的山峰, 故名。
