Tracing The Grandeur Stone Forest in China

One of the tourist destinations in Asia is China. Ancestral culture is so strongly attached. Anything in China could always draw attention. Whether it's the temples of worship with a distinctive architecture, or building forts, to traditional markets.

China also has a rock or stone jungle forest in southern China that has launched the UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site. Community called Shilin stone forest. This forest itself is located in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, about 120 kilometers from Kunming, Yunnan province.

 

 Called the forest because the rocks that exist in this area resembles a tall tree that thrives in the forest. I do not know how many stones are standing firm here, thus creating the illusion of forest. That said, the Stone Forest has been around since 270 years ago.

Local Community Sector believe if the rocks were created by the gods to split the mountain. Previously, this place was used as a stopover place couple. Therefore, they believe that if a couple who visited this forest will have longevity in their relationship.

Another version of the legend in telling if this is the birth stone forest Ashima, a beautiful girl who came from the Yi. Ashima was then cursed to stone by his own father. His name is now engraved on one stone high in these exotic woods.


Apart from the story about the rock legend that is embedded in an area of 80 acres, the researchers said that if the actual rock formations formed by wind and water erosion that began hundreds of years ago.

Exploring the woods it will not feel tired. Line of stones with unique textures will continue to accompany you step slipped in between the sidelines of the big rocks. Not to mention the sun that gives luster to the rocks is awesome.

One of the most interesting is the Bright Summit Park or bright peak. You will get the best sun sparkle of this peak. Watching the sunrise between the rocks and clouds. In addition to foreign tourists, up to now there are still many Chinese writers who often visited the beauty of this place for inspiration. viva
