Two-uniqueness in Danxia-Male stone and female stone

Male stone is the natural pillar which looks like male genitals. It is 28m in height and 7m in diameter. Titled as “the first grotesque stone in the world” and “the first unique scenery in the world”, the stone pillar has experienced a history of 300,000 years.
Female stone is the natural cavern which looks like female genitalia. It is 10.3m in height, 4.8m in width and the cavern is approximately 4.3m in depth.
These two stones integrate Yin and Yang, hardness and softness, largeness and smallness. These vivid and lifelike portrayals are coincidently located in the same scenic spot. The male and female stone are rarely available, so they are titled as “two-uniqueness in Danxia”.
