Stand before the iconic Hallelujah Mountain, a 150-meter sandstone pillar rising from the lush landscape. Explore further to discover the natural First Bridge, spanning 20 meters between two towering cliffs, and take in panoramic views of countless quartz sandstone peaks, especially enchanting when veiled in mist.
