Forest Arts in China

23 July 2008

It is reported that over 18 percent of Chinese land are covered by forest, with total forest area around 175 million hecares. Deep in the woods that are largely free of the tangible marks of human activities, there are many mysterious creations, and the raw world are often enriched with delicate artworks.

This giant stone rabbit found in China's northerwest region Xinjiang was naturally formed.

 

This human footprint on a slab was discovered in Sichuan forest about 30 years ago by a 10-year old boy. The footprint measures 12cm long.

According to the official figures, forest coverage in China grows by 1.2 percent or 1.81 million hectares yearly, which is the highest growth rate in the world. In less than three decades, Chinese volunteers have all together planted nearly 50 billion trees, with more that 50 million hectares of land reforested.
