The '''Gwanji Valley''' is a desert valley with a tropical climate located in southeast Hollywood. The valley can only be accessed through a complex cave system, and may actually be a pocket dimension outside of space and time. Such a notion is purely theoretical, but it would explain the dinosaurs and other strange creatures that make their home within the valley.

-Originally an isolated valley only reachable by an extensive cave system, the Gwanji Valley now extends over much of southern Hollywood after the effects of [[the Big One]]. Much of the landscape lies below sea level, in a series of layers bordered by large cliffs that protect the interior from flooding. With the exception of [[Underwood]], it is the deepest part of Hollywood.
+Originally an isolated valley only reachable by an extensive cave system, the Gwanji Valley now extends over a third of California after the effects of [[the Big One]]. Much of the landscape lies below sea level, in a series of layers bordered by large cliffs that protect the interior from flooding. With the exception of [[Underwood]], it is the deepest known region in the world.
-The topmost layer, entirely above sea level, is referred to as the '''surface world'''. Most of the region's settlements are on this layer. The next 1500ft is the level called the '''lowlands''', with a thicker atmosphere that makes observation from the surface world close to impossible due to frequent dense mists. The higher oxygen concentration in the atmosphere of the lowlands has allowed insects to grow to sizes to rival those of the dinosaurs also native to this layer.

The higher oxygen concentration in the atmosphere of the lowlands has allowed the insects native to this layer to grow to sizes that rival those of dinosaurs, which are also native to this layer.
-After the lowlands is '''subterra''', where the local flora and fauna have adapted to the low-light environment. Crustaceans and other, more bizarre forms of life dominate this region. Despite their often fearsome appearances, many creatures at this level are lithovores, consuming minerals to survive. The valley connects beneath the ocean at this level, through a vast cavern network.

-The final layer, at a depth of greater than 2500ft, is the '''abyss''', which has not been fully documented despite numerous attempts. A number of [[kaiju]] have been spotted at this level, and it is suspected there is an underground ocean somewhere within the depths.

In the name of science and entertainment, many of the native creatures were imported into Hollywood, and multiple expeditions were made to establish shooting locations. ''Era of the Lizard'' (77 BBO), ''The Lost Expedition'' (71 BBO), and ''Journey to the Edge of History'' (69 BBO) were all filmed within the Valley. It is suspected that [[Mightosaurus]] was native to the Valley and found its way outside by following tracks left by the film industry's many expeditions.
+After the Big One, the cave system that led to the Valley collapsed into a sinkhole, either expanding the Valley or bringing it from its native timeline into Hollywood's own. The earthquake also revealed new areas of the Valley that had never been seen before, prompting new expeditions to find suitable shooting locations as "dino-mania" once again gripped Hollywood.
