Guizhou is an incredible place where you can find such awe-inspiring scenery that it seems as if you have entered a parallel dimension or another planet. Today I will show you a Guizhou landmark that is hard to believe, but it exists.

貴州是一個令人難以置信的地方，在這里可以找到如此驚嘆的景觀，讓人覺得進入了一個平行空間或另一個星球。今天，我向大家展示一個很難相信但是真實存在的貴州小眾景點。

 

This place is called the TongGuDang. The name alone makes it a place worth visiting. TongGuDang is a natural stone forest that has been deposited over hundreds and thousands of years. It was washed away and eventually formed into its present form. TungGuoDang is located in Longga Village, Longgong City, Huangguoshu Tourist Area, Anshun City, Guizhou Province. To see the entire stone forest in its entirety would take several hours. The whole stone forest is so big that we even felt lost.

這個地方叫做銅鼓蕩。光聽這個名字就覺得是一個很值得期待的地方。銅鼓蕩是一個天然石林，通過成百上千年以來的沉淀。經過沖刷最終形成了現在的模樣。地處面積達到了上千畝。銅鼓蕩位于貴州省安順市黃果樹旅游區龍宮鎮龍嘎村。需要花幾個小時才能看完整個石林的面貌。整個石林非常大，我們甚至都要感覺迷路了。

 

But the way to find this stone forest is not an easy. Surrounded by mountains and difficult trails, it is located in one of the lower valleys, as if hidden from the world. It was not until 1992 that this place was revealed to the world.

然而，要到達這片石林并不是一件容易的事。它被群山和崎嶇不平的山路所包圍，位于其中的一個低谷中，仿佛隱秘于世界之外。直到1992年，這個地方才被世人所發現。

 

So why is this place so popular that many tourists are willing to travel thousands of kilometers to TongGuDang every day? Because of its bizarre landscape. The whole place is covered with stones of different shapes and sizes. Scattered throughout the park, this place is also known as the “exotic planet”. Many visitors come here to see for themselves the world of this completely different planet.

那么，為什么這個地方如此受歡迎，以至于許多游客每天都愿意千里迢迢來到銅鼓蕩？得益于這里怪異的風景。整個地方都被不同形狀和大小的石頭所覆蓋。散落在公園各處的石頭，這個地方也被稱為“異域星球”?，F在有很多游客前來親眼目睹這個看起來完全不同的星球的世界。

 

Looking at these stone scaffolds. I noticed that many of them look like stone cottages. It felt like they had been inhabited for a very, very long time. You can even vaguely see some roads on the ground. There are cows and horses grazing nearby, and everything is so peaceful and beautiful!

看著這些石林。不經注意到，其中許多類似于石頭寨的建筑。感覺像是在很久很久之前有人居住一般。你甚至可以看到地上依稀可見有些道路。附近有牛和馬在吃草，一切都那么安詳美麗!

 

Do you know why this incredible place is called the TongGuDang? It is because sometimes a mysterious sound, similar to the sound of a drum, can be heard there. The reason for this sound is caused by a stream flowing in the mountains. The water hits the rocks and makes this sound.

你們知道為什么這個令人難以置信的地方被稱為銅鼓蕩嗎？這是因為有時可以聽到一種神秘的聲音，類似于鼓的聲音。產生這種聲音的原因是流淌在山里的一條溪流引起的。水打在巖石上，產生了這種動人的旋律。

 

Who would have thought that there are places in Guizhou that are so different from the landscape that humans are used to that they look like alien landscapes. We all have tried to go to Mars or the Moon, but our own planet is so amazing and beautiful that it is exactly the kind of place we need to know from all sides.

誰能想到，貴州有一些地方與人類習慣的景觀如此不同，以至于它們看起來像是外星的風景。我們都試圖去火星或月球，而我們自己的星球是如此神奇和美麗，它正是我們需要從各方面去了解的地方。

 

TongGuDang really holds many mysteries that we need to protect. 

銅鼓蕩真的蘊藏著許多我們需要保護的奧秘。

 

Perhaps, the utterance “Be the change you want to see in the world” is a bit trivial but it works. How often do we see that people leave waste somewhere in the woods and rivers but not in the waste bin, for example? I've seen it here. The breathtaking scenery of TongGuDang is starting to fade because of the accumulated trash. Please throw trash where it shouldn't be left and don't kill the beauty of nature!

“要改變世界，從自己做起”這句話可能有點老套，但卻很有效。我們有多少次看到人們在度假時，把垃圾丟在森林和河流的某個地方？我在這里也看到過。銅鼓蕩令人嘆為觀止的風景因為累積的垃圾而開始褪色。請大家不要把垃圾留在不應該被扔掉的地方，不要扼殺大自然的美麗!
