Xiangyun Torch at Enshi Grand Canyon


Annie taking a picture with the Xiangyun Torch (Chinese: 祥云火炬) at the Enshi Grand Canyon while it was drizzling. The natural limestone pillar was originally part of the mountain, but due to weathering and erosion, has become an independent rock column, taking on the shape of a torch with swirling auspicious clouds, hence the name.
