Karst landscape in the world. China Yunnan Stone Forest is also famous for its large area, high rock columns and small shape, and its scenic spots are concentrated in a certain range.

Facing the magnificent and endless stone sea, people can't help asking, where did these fantastic stone forests come from? In this regard, many people have walked into the secret of Shilin in ancient and modern times and at home and abroad, trying to make a perfect answer. Scientists say: 200-300 million years ago, there was the Wang Yang Sea. After a long geological movement and material evolution, the vast sea of the past has become the vast stone forest of today. The local people said: Shilin is a Hercules, coming from far away with a whip like a flock of sheep. It should have driven them to stop the raging flood. I don't know if the whip failed, or if these lingshi fell in love with this land, this water and this person. The rushing stone group came to an abrupt end and settled here without any regrets.

The Stone Forest is a transcendental artistic masterpiece endowed by nature. In the 350-square-kilometer Stone Forest Natural Scenic Area, Tiangong skillfully distributes the Stone Forest, Naigu Stone Forest, Zhiyun Cave, Weird Wind Tunnel, Changhu Lake, Yuehu Lake and Longfei Waterfall in four directions. These endless scenic spots are divided into mountain light and water color, which may be clearer.

Like a stone forest like a shrine, surrounded by peaks. Looking up at the sky, sometimes sparse, sometimes depressed. Like a stone pillar, the stone peak is competing for miracle and beauty. Some stone peaks stand tall and straight into the sky; Some are rugged; Some are crumbling, which makes people shake their heads. Under the pillars of the sky, clear water clinks around the strange stones, nourishing a piece of green and a piece of flower. In the maze of stone forests, looking around and changing the scenery, "Ashima" is ready to come out; "Mother and Child Walking Together" is lifelike; The Phoenix Combs its Wings is lifelike. It is amazing to see all kinds of images.

Changhu Lake, Yuehu Lake and Longfei Waterfall are the watercolor scenery of Shilin Scenic Area. The long lake lies quietly in the embrace of the green hills. The lake is clear and transparent, the blue waves are rippling, the islands on the lake are lush, and the birds and flowers are fragrant by the lake, which makes people linger.

In the severe winter, when people on the banks of Songhua River in China are looking forward to a ray of sunshine in the ice and snow, the girls in Shilin are still dancing among the flowers in bright skirts.
