Any forest has no shortage of plants that are in unexpected shapes and colors, the forest in Tianping Mountain in Zhangjiajie City, China's central Hunan Province is no exception. A brief, random hike through the woods here might turn out to be a surprising journey full of encounters with many obscure but lovely-looking wild flowers. The photo gallery below gives you a preview.
