Hailed as \"Mother Nature’s sculpture garden,\" this geological marvel features rocks shaped like swords piercing the sky, mythical beasts, and even petal-like clusters that’d make your favorite CGI dragons jealous. Fun fact: Locals say the tallest formations change hues at sunrise—like a real-life Instagram filter!
