⛰️ Part 1 | A Geological Textbook Through Time

🌍 Birth of Earth's Rift
Confirmed by scientific research in 2008, this 7-kilometer-long fissure is a remnant of the collision between the Yangtze Plate and the Huaxia Plate. Hikers can see basalt columnar joints (resembling giant pipe organs)

👣 Xu Xiake’s Unfinished Journey
The "Qian You Diary" records that here "water and rocks clash, sounding like thunder," but he couldn’t explore deeply due to equipment limits. Modern plank roads now reach the most dangerous "Leigong Beach" section
