What Is A Single Sided Mountain?

Single sided mountain, also known as Banping Mountain, is a type of terrain that refers to a mountain with a steep side and a gentle slope. The usual reason for its formation is the originally inclined arrangement of rock layers, with the upper layer of rock being harder and the lower layer of rock being softer. After being eroded by wind or water, the soft side of the stratum is more eroded, forming a steeper slope than the other side, resulting in the formation of a single sided mountain. In the Colorful Hills Scenic Area, the rock layers are forced to form folds. Due to the different degrees of hardness and softness of the rock layers here, in some parts of the inclined rock layers, the soft and hard alternating rock layers have been eroded and denuded, forming many single sided mountains. For example, the Seven Color Screen and the Big Scallop are typical single sided mountains.
