Huge stones sit along with the grassland in a national geological park in #Jeminay County, northwest China's #Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. For millions of years, many of the granite withered by the wind have developed peculiar shapes. Some of them resemble a pangolin, a tortoise, elephants, or even humans. The scenic area also holds the first Paleolithic site in Xinjiang, dating back to 45,000 years ago. #IntoXinjiang
