The Enshi Grand Canyon features a unique geological formation known as the Mother and Child, a karst topographic sculpture. This solitary peak, approximately 25 meters high, was formed from Triassic limestone (203-250 million years ago) through weathering, erosion, and dissolution.
The thin layers of rock are susceptible to weathering and collapse, with the top beginning to crack. On the right side, a natural human head sculpture has emerged, while on the left, a smaller rock resembles a baby, resembling a Tujia woman kissing and holding her infant. This tender kiss symbolizes the greatness of maternal love and is a ‘lullaby’ sculpture gifted by nature to humanity.
