Glaring at the Tashan Cliff (see red dot) which can be viewed from here toward the northwest. The well-exposed sandstone unit is the late Miocene Kuantaoshan Sandstone. The bedding of the cliff rocks dips gently toward the west. The rocks form the east limb of a gentle syncline with fold axis trending about NNE. Underlying the sandstone unit is the late Miocene Nanchuang Formation! Truly a serene view! 🗻☀#alishan #chiayi #taiwan #geology (at 阿里山國家森林遊樂區 Alishan National Forest Recreation Area)
