Zuozhen District's Tsao Shan Moon World (草山月世界) is an area of daqing limestone terrain (青灰岩地形) made up of sandstone and shale, also known as chalk terrain. The geology is softened as it meets the water, and streams have eroded the surface to create a hilly landscape with cliffs all around, and a mountain ridge shaped like serrated teeth. The ground is highly alkaline due to the chalk, making it difficult for vegetation to take root, and only the hardy thorny bamboo can grow.

The bridge crosses a canyon with chalky ground and a stream. On one side is a small village between the hills, the stillness between the white hills make time seem to stop, and has the rather desolate feeling of a lost age.
