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.

贵州是一个令人难以置信的地方，在这里可以找到如此惊叹的景观，让人觉得进入了一个平行空间或另一个星球。今天，我向大家展示一个很难相信但是真实存在的贵州小众景点。

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.

这个地方叫做铜鼓荡。光听这个名字就觉得是一个很值得期待的地方。铜鼓荡是一个天然石林，通过成百上千年以来的沉淀。经过冲刷最终形成了现在的模样。地处面积达到了上千亩。铜鼓荡位于贵州省安顺市黄果树旅游区龙宫镇龙嘎村。需要花几个小时才能看完整个石林的面貌。整个石林非常大，我们甚至都要感觉迷路了。

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，要到达这片石林并不是一件容易的事。它被群山和崎岖不平的山路所包围，位于其中的一个低谷中，仿佛隐秘于世界之外。直到1992年，这个地方才被世人所发现。

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 stonesof 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，为什么这个地方如此受欢迎，以至于许多游客每天都愿意千里迢迢来到铜鼓荡？得益于这里怪异的风景。整个地方都被不同形状和大小的石头所覆盖。散落在公园各处的石头，这个地方也被称为“异域星球”。现在有很多游客前来亲眼目睹这个看起来完全不同的星球的世界。

Looking at these stone scaffolds.I noticed that many of them look likestone 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!

看着这些石林。不经注意到，其中许多类似于石头寨的建筑。感觉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见有些道路。附近有牛和马在吃草，一切都那么安详美丽!

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 heardthere. The reason for this sound is caused by a stream flowing in the mountains. The water hits the rocks and makesthis sound.

你们知道为什么这个令人难以置信的地方被称为铜鼓荡吗？这是因为有时可以听到一种神秘的声音，类似于鼓的声音。产生这种声音的原因是流淌在山里的一条溪流引起的。水打在岩石上，产生了这种动人的旋律。

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

谁能想到，贵州有一些地方与人类习惯的景观如此不同，以至于它们看起来像是外星的风景。我们都试图去火星或月球，而我们自己的星球是如此神奇和美丽，它正是我们需要从各方面去了解的地方。

TongGuDang really holds many mysteries that we need to protect.

铜鼓荡真的蕴藏着许多我们需要保护的奥秘。

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 trashwhere it shouldn"t be left and don"t kill the beauty of nature!

“要改变世界，从自己做起”这句话可能有点老套，但却很有效。我们有多少次看到人们在度假时，把垃圾丢在森林和河流的某个地方？我在这里也看到过。铜鼓荡令人叹为观止的风景因为累积的垃圾而开始褪色。请大家不要把垃圾留在不应该被扔掉的地方，不要扼杀大自然的美丽!
