Dragon's Ridge

Category:Introduction of Geosites

A winding ridge-like peak lies to the southeast of Tianzhu Peak looming in the cloud, which looks as if a dragon is flying through the sky, so it is named “Dragon’s Ridge”. Dragon’s Ridge is a 3.5km-long ridge peak shaped by weathering and erosion after cutting along its faults.
