In nature, there are surprising forms that are the result, in many cases, of many years of various forms of erosion.<\/p>\n
Karst erosion<\/strong> is the erosion of limestone rocks by water, which in many places has created enormous natural arches. One such arch is Shegeng Chuandong<\/strong> in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern mainland China. This arch was formed by water erosion on a karst ridge in Fengcong. This arch is part of the Leye-Fengshan National Geopark<\/strong>, which has striking mountain landscapes that look like something out of a fantasy film.<\/p>\n The arch has a span of about 55 meters, is about 142 meters wide, and is 239 meters long.<\/strong> A paved road runs beneath it, and there is a parking and climbing area. There is also a monument to the fallen communists of the Chinese Civil War<\/strong> (1927\u20131936 and 1945\u20131949), which led to the current division of the country into two independent states: the Republic of China<\/strong> (Taiwan, a democratic country, ruled from Taipei) and the People's Republic of China<\/strong> (a communist dictatorship ruled from Beijing and covering mainland China).<\/p>\n
