Porch pillars

Sao Chaliang, a giant mushroom pillar, over a million years old Sao Chaliang, Ubon Ratchathani Province, is located in Pha Taem National Park, Khong Chiam District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. It is considered a popular historical tourist attraction in Ubon Ratchathani. Each pillar is about 20 meters high and is made of sandstone that has been eroded and eroded by nature, both water and wind, until it has the strange shape that you see. This sculpture is a sculpture of sandstone from 2 eras: Cretaceous sandstone, which is about 130 million years old, is the mushroom part on top. The other era is Dinosaur sandstone, which is about 180 million years old, is the beginning of the lower pillar. Both parts have been washed away by weather, rain, and storms for millions of years. After a while, there will be a natural resistance process until the pressure of raindrops makes the sandstone stronger, allowing it to be preserved as Sao Chaliang. In addition to the beautiful Sao Chaliang, there is also a nature trail that the park has set up for tourists to visit. A little further on is the Broken Stone Field, which was formed naturally, very beautiful and worth seeing. #National Park #Khong Chiam #Sao Cheliang
