After they’ve experienced the majestic formations of the Zhangjiajie region, nature loving tourists would be well served to check out the Suoxiyu Natural Resource Reserve nearby. It offers a much different type of natural beauty than other parks and reserves in the area, with mountains of a composite material formed by the transition between limestone-heavy and sandstone-heavy soils. The result is a smooth, rolling mountainous region as opposed to the many imposing crags of the Zhangjiajie area.

The Reserve also features a number of old bridges and caves that are suitable for exploring by the adventurous or just distant admiration by those who are less inclined towards that kind of experience. Many of the bridges are situated on steep cliffs, offering a view like none you’ve ever seen. The caves themselves are like castles under the earth, and are so vast that you’ll likely never finish seeing all the beautiful rock formations that they have to offer. For the nature loving tourist who is looking for something to do in China, the Suoxiyu Natural Resource Reserve is a must-see.
