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.
Zhuangjiajie is known for its breathtaking landscape of majestic mountains. It made the news after James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar movie and by the success of wingsuit skydivers flying through the hole in the needle of Tianmen Mountains. UNESCO World Heritage site Wulingyuan is within the Zhuanjiajie National Park.
