Indoor Picnic in China this edition, we will introduce three or attractions in the Shilin Stone Forest.
Shilin Stone Forest is located or in the Shilin Yi Ethnic Autonomous District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province in southwestern China, about 78 km from Kunming, the provincial capital. In an area of ​​hundreds of square miles of hilly forest clusters are large and small stones are scattered on the slopes of hills and valleys and wet soils. Bi Yunhua tour guide said, "The total area of ​​the Stone Forest scenery around 12 square kilometers, is the largest karst topography in China even the world. Large areas of forest and small stones are a tourist attraction frequented by tourists."
The stone forest is a forest consisting of stone. Big Stone Huta area located in the center of the entire area of ​​the Stone Forest scenery, is the most representative view of the old and historic. Moreover, here there are also tourist resorts like the famous Lotus Flower Peak, Peak Fitness Sword and others. Bi Yunhua tour guide introduces the top-named "Mount of the Sword and the Lake of Fire": "Named 'Mount of the Sword and the Lake of Fire" because of the stones on top shaped like a sharp sword that pierced the sky as a result of rain water scour in a long time, being stones that were once buried under the ground and no traces of water flow. "
Arbor View Peak is the best place to watch the "sea of ​​forests". Travelers from Shanghai Ni Ni said, "It's beautiful. From this arbor we saw the rock beneath the sea bed. I was amazed by her will and natural wonders of the world is so beautiful."
Large stone forest of stone peaks that meeting, tourists can walk in the crevices of the rock peak. Form of the stones are very diverse and strange, there is nothing like objects, some are like people. The top of the rock that is named "Mother and Child" looks like a mother holding her child for a walk; "Elephant in the Court of the Stone" like an elephant standing on the rock. There are nearly a hundred rocks, named as the appropriate form. Stone here is not only odd shape, some are when a noise that sounded wonderful. Bi Yunhua said, "This stone is a noise that sounded like a bell, then called 'the Stone Bell'".
Compared with the Big Stone Forest, Minor Stone Forest seemed more innocent, the most famous tourist attraction in the Small Stone Forest is Ashima because here there is a high rock that looks like a pretty girl in a fairy tale named Ashima ethnic Yi: wear the head scarf, supports a cart, stand gracefully looked up to see far ahead. Now, the Small Stone Forest scenery decorated with lights. At night, with the beam of lights, tourists can see different kinds of rock strangely shaped.
At the north end view of the Stone Forest was a forest of stone called Naigu which means "old black" in Sani ethnic Yi. The stones here and meeting great height, from a distance looks like stone forts magnificent. When we climbed up the rocks, it would appear that sea of ​​black stone lay down broad. Under the stone forest there is also a unique world of cave karst landscape so as to form three-dimensional landscape. Tourists from Australia Briana Lopez amazed watching the scene over there. He said, "It's amazing, the shape of the stones are very beautiful".
The stones in the Stone Forest was able to change color according to weather changes. When it rains, the Stone Forest which is grayed out soon changed to black. When the rain stopped and the air is bright, the color of the stones that turn into striped, then back to light gray. One expert, Professor Liang Yongning said, "All forms of rock in the world's forests can be found here. Forest Great Stone primarily sword-shaped, while in other places we can see the pagoda-shaped or mushroom, there is a black, yellow and others . A foreign expert said here a minute feels like being in Cuba, and soon, like in Spain, as the stone forest in the world on display here. Forest stone museum topography here is a very precious stone forest. "
The charm of the stone forest like a difficult puzzle expressed by language. A peak of the same stone and give you a different impression on the season and the weather is different, even at different times in one day. This is a gift from God.
