Shilin, China
Stone Forest
The Stone Forest or Shilin is a notable set of limestone formations about 500 km2 in area located in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan, China. The forest is approximately 90 km east of the provincial capital Kunming. The tall rocks appear to rise from the ground in a manner somewhat reminiscent of stalagmites, with many looking like petrified trees, thereby creating the illusion of a forest made of stone.
