Known as the "best in the world wonders," The Stone Forest is in Lunan Yi Autonomous County of Yunnan, known as "the Lunan Stone Forest." "The road south" is a Sani language, meaning "a place covered with a black stone." The car into the road near the Southern territory, through the window, you can see everywhere present near the slopes of the many shaped like bamboo shoots sprouting bud-like stone. When the first time I saw such a scene, when we were in scream of "Stone Forest" name.
Those of us who've never been here, therefore, for the first time to see this strange landscape it would be hard not feel surprised by. Who would have thought a friend was talking in Kunming, Stone Forest is not the main scenic spots here, but in the Shilin Li Jing resort, where we often see on television cameras have "Stone Forest" where the word stone.
Or just going to come from Yunnan, there are some friends told me to go look at the Stone Forest. Some information from've seen when it comes to less than Yunnan Stone Forest in Yunnan Province is equal to not come off. I remember that Kuo Mo-jo said: "having seen the Stone Forest, other equal to zero." And He Laozong his military life has never been conquered before, but was Shilin "conquer" the. Shilin Grand Tour, after he came and sat on the grass Shilin said humorously: "I no longer go!" Stone Forest, it should be said that natural gift of the most spectacular in southern China a pearl, is far the most foreign visitors fascinated dream of heaven.
According to geologists to research, the way the South region in the 6 million years ago to about 300 million yuan Paleozoic five million years ago, Late Paleozoic, is a vast ocean. Later, through the geological history of the large and strong sea-soaked earth rifting role in accumulation of more than 2000 meters from the thick layer of limestone, but also in the back some 300 million 2 million years ago, the late Hercynian carboniferous discipline -- - Indo-China movement, water slowly receded, the rock long out of the water and began the long process of development Shilin. Today, the Stone Forest this strange geological landscape is known as "karst topography", he is from the Yugoslav Istrian peninsula, the northern border with Italy slightly Frost plateau. The karst topography in the world today is only the most representative of the Lunan Stone Forest is no wonder that people call it "best in the world wonders."
To the Stone Forest, not but it reminds me of the Yi long narrative poem "Ashima." Yes, the Stone Forest is the hometown of Ashima. Smart, kind, beautiful Ashima is the pride of the Yi people, is the wizard Sani people. In our car to go to the front of Li Qing Shi Lin clusters, when a distance saw the ticket stand and a long line dressed in colorful ethnic costumes of the Yi girl guides are waiting for the visitors click.
Kunming friends have repeatedly told us to come to Yunnan in Yunnan do not call girls called "Miss", to be obliged to call a local minority customs, as referred to as "Miss" in their eyes contain derogatory colors. To the Stone Forest, you must call girl of "Ashima", the boy called for "A black."
Kunming arranged by a friend, we would perhaps the one surnamed Li Yi girl to do our tour guide, keeping in mind a friend's instruction, we use "Ashima" instead of "Miss Guide" of the title.
Small tour looked no older than 20, a long small and exquisite, the Qing Qingchun alcohol, and the film of the same intelligent lovely Ashima. She said that self-surnamed Li, and asked us to call her "Ashima", she called us "A Hei Ge." Curious colleagues have kindly shouted "Lee Ashima", "guide Ashima", attracted waves of laughter Yuet heart. Hospitality is also a small guide called us from time to time "Ah Hei Ge." She gave us such a joke. She said that before they pick up a tour, Zhejiang come when she called the guests to "A Hei Ge" when her surprise, the guests of the happy face, and one asked, and he is not a long black? Yi people have had the young "black" as a robust and bold, and not really black, which a tourist was wrong solution in Zhejiang its complacent.
Since we are here for today's early days, not a lot of visitors here. As small tour guides to lead, we have entered this fascinating fairyland. Shilin Stone Forest here divided in size, big Shilin Sani who is the show's vigorous Gangyong A Hei Ge, and small stone forest is presented by Ashima's Qingchun graceful. You do not Shilin do not know, You finished Shilin became clear that exposure to the forceful Qixiu the Stone Forest King, the vigorous Gangyongyehao, Qingchun graceful matter whether, but feel the emotion watery unspeakable.
Lions Pavilion overlooking the board, Shi Roughs Benlai fundus, brown stone Qingyan spectacular incomparable scenery LOFTY, a boundless expanse. Dissolve during the walk, you see the immediate allocation of the sky behind the rocks, mixed Zhengrong, strange things, yin and yang and beauty, nature's intricate work. I do not know the year of Qu Yuan did not come here, but I know that he had been issued by the best in the world of the wonders of meaningful, "Heaven." He asked that this ancient dream, is how these billions of years of time and space to gather up Aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon. Follow this "Heaven" of poems, Here, we can see the vigorous Nu Wa replenish the skies and see the tragic Pan Gu was born. Walk in them, is really magic, said to have been here, heard of the Yellow River Cantata was awesome breathtaking, it was also heard here, there are gods in the maze of playful gossip. Do not know if there is no thought of tourists come here, and now a pair of roaming in the Stone Forest is, indeed, doing a million years ago in the undersea show their呀. It is only natural marshes of good fortune, billions of years flash before, now I do not know what the power goes as far as the ocean undersea world of bustling strife squeeze freeze-frame in this moment without shelter Fan Chen human being. Makes our ancestors whom Rouchang 100 turn, Best and hard to understand, no wonder then Qu Yuan to issue a "Stone Forest seems ridiculous?" The wonder then.
Never seen such a scene, years of life's journey, it seems that never left my heart had such a strong shock. Only the big United States and who can not be made to the speaker there is no sound, had hidden in the heart, pharynx in the throat, so that hearts to comprehend.

Is this the limestone that was shaped by the rain? I was informed that it was a soft rock that took shape from the rain over many years. I visited a place in the USA that had rock stand up like this but it was sandstone. The place was called "Garden of the Gods"
This is an incredible hub with totally awesome pictures. As the age of the rock is so old, I am wondering if it existed when the dinosaurs did...the waterfalls are so beautiful!!!
