Wudalianchi - Longmen Shizhai

🌈Tips
💕Time: Golden Autumn National Day
💕Location: Wudalianchi - Longmen Shizhai Scenic Area
💕Recommendation: The scenic area features a circular solid wood plank road about 3 kilometers long, with a relatively gentle slope throughout, making it very friendly for the elderly and children. Walking along the plank road allows you to explore deep into the stone clusters and closely observe the flow traces of lava from thousands of years ago.

🌈Memory
💕Geographical Location
Located in Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province. Departing from Harbin at 7 a.m., there are very few vehicles on the highway, the road is flat, and the view is wide open. The golden sunlight spreads across the land, and it takes less than 4 hours to reach the scenic area parking lot.

💕Formation Reason
About 280,000 to 340,000 years ago, the first eruption of Longmen Mountain occurred. After the upper magma solidified, the advancing lower lava flow caused the upper part to crack into blocks. Later, multiple volcanic eruptions and earthquakes caused shaking and shifting, forming the current shield-shaped lava plateau and variously sized giant stone clusters of Longmen Shizhai.

💕Viewing Platform
The viewing platform is not high, just a gentle slope. Standing on the platform and looking down, the giant stones descend along the slope like a roaring, tumbling great river.
Imagine the early formation stage, where the lava surface cooled and solidified, then fractured. Subsequent lava carried the broken rock blocks, flowing and scattering over an area of fifty square kilometers, eventually piling up into the artwork before our eyes, allowing us the privilege to gaze deeply through the long river of time.
Along the way, there are geological introductions, benches, wooden stools, pavilions, and thatched huts. The whole journey is easy and interesting, making it one of the must-visit spots in the Wudalianchi Scenic Area.

💕Vegetation and Trees
The trees are tall and upright, growing upwards, especially pines, cypresses, firs, birches, and lindens, which are the most visually appealing. Fiery red, golden yellow, fresh green, and bright white colors appear, with colorful and splendid autumn leaves occasionally catching the eye.
Rocks that have rolled into the forest grow lichens and mosses, herbaceous ferns sprout from cracks in the stones, and fallen leaves accumulate year-round in the woods, making the ground soft and thick to step on. The sunlight gently shines, creating an especially tender atmosphere.
