Shipton's Arch
Shipton's Arch, and, meaning Heavenly Gate in Chinese, is a conglomerate natural arch, located to the West-northwest of Kashgar, near the village of Artush in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It is likely the world's tallest natural arch. Though long familiar to locals, it was famously visited in 1947 by English mountaineer Eric Shipton, while he was traveling between Tashkent and Kashgar - and made known to the West in his book Mountains of Tartary.
