The Stone Forest (石林) near Kunming is a remarkable geological formation. Aeons of sedementation, erosion and volcanic eruption have left sharp, jagged pillars of stone rather like trees, which rise singly and in groves over a large plain. Whether looking down from above or walking through cave-like passages between the rocks, marvel at the alien landscape nature's forces have left. I highly recommend bringing a picnic lunch, as there are no places to get food in or around the park aside from some expensive and unappetizing snacks. It's worth setting aside a whole day for Shilin, as the park is large and there are many different views. We travelled to Shilin Town by bus and stayed in a local hotel, but the park could also be visited as a day trip from Kunming, especially if you have a car. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #stoneforest #石林 #kunming #yunnan #views #photography #geology #amazingplaces #naturalwonders

Lizijingshilin, which is the major area in Shi Lin Stone Forest scenic Spot, Kunming City, Yunnan province, People's Republic of China. There are more specific stages and attractions concentrated in whole scenic area of Stone Forest Shi Lin. Stones are merged and therefore forming some kind of wave which is still moving but not frozen. This mass looks like something alien forgotten here after dried inner sea and was awaken nowadays. The shapes remind the strange substances with will, those from Howard Lovecraft tales. It is very unusual experience to roam around and to observe cold stones tending to move to the sky or aside with unknown for us purpose. Good inspiration for writers and movie makers. #nationalpark#hiking#naturalwonders
