Tianmen Painted Wall

Two kilometers north along the road from Yuzuan Peak, the stone walls on both banks of the stream valley rise steeply like cut cliffs, a thousand fathoms high, with patterns in the rock like paintings in alternating blue and white, set off by ancient trees and green grass, like a painted screen. This is the 'Tianmen Painted Wall'. Past it, three stone peaks stand closely linked — the 'Interdependent Rocks', over 200 m high, vividly resembling three stone figures leaning on one another: the front one a Miao girl with silver headdress and pleated floral skirt, the one close behind with a flowered turban.
