Yuanguqi Stone Forest Scenic Area
The Proterozoic Stone Forest in Ji County is located in Maojiayu, east of Ji County. The geological structure is the dolomite strata of the Yangzhuang Formation and the Wumishan Formation of the Middle and Upper Proterozoic 1.3-8 billion years ago. The naturally formed strange stone landscape is ingenious, like a dragon and a beast, and the creation is magical. Why is it named the Proterozoic Stone Forest? This is a name confirmed by geological age. The earth on which human beings depend for survival has a long history of 4.6 billion years from its formation to the present. In geological science, for the convenience of research, scientists divide the formation of the earth to the present into five geological ages, from ancient times to the present, namely the Archean, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. The geological profile of Ji County was formed in the middle and late Proterozoic, so its strata are called the Middle and Upper Proterozoic. The rock strata here were formed in the Proterozoic, and the stone is peculiar, so it is named the Proterozoic Stone Forest. Maojiayu is surrounded by mountains in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, forming a closed space. It is a naturally formed natural "paradise". Peaceful and quiet.
