Central Asia: Tian Shan - "Sky-Mountain"
As the largest system
of mountain ranges in Central Asia, Tian Shan—which translates to
“sky-mountain” in Chinese—has one of the best collections of natural landscapes
in the world and is considered a paradise for outdoor adventures. Thanks to the
richness of the land’s sediments, compounded by the power of erosion caused by
rivers flowing down the mountains, the north face of Tian Shan is carved into
stunning plateaus and colorful canyons hundreds of meters deep, resulting in
this surrealist painting in nature. (The National Geographic)
