A spectacular area stretching over more than 26,000 ha in China's Hunan Province, the site is dominated by more than 3,000 narrow sandstone pillars and peaks, many over 200 m high. Between the peaks lie ravines and gorges with streams, pools and waterfalls, some 40 caves, and two large natural bridges. In addition to the striking beauty of the landscape, the region is also noted for the fact that it is home to a number of endangered plant and animal species.

位於湖南省，面積超過260平方公里的武陵源風景及歷史名勝區，有著三千多座沙岩峰林，其中有許個都超過200公尺高。峰林間則有峽谷溪流、水潭與瀑布以及約40個石洞，還有兩座巨大的天然橋樑。除了美不勝收的景色外，此區也是許多瀕臨絕種的動植物的棲身之處。
