石林, ShiLin County, YunNan, south China. This area, covering around 500 square kilometers in all, lies about 90 km east of the provincial capital KunMing and is comprised of seven scenic areas featuring amazing limestone karst rock formations. The Stone Forest began around 270 million years ago as a shallow sea. Extensive deposits of sandstone overlaid by limestone accumulated during the Permian period. Subsequent uplift of this region followed by exposure to wind and rain shaped the landscape we see today. Filmed in Ultra HD (4K).

Google doesn't like to play ball with China related videos unless they are clearly anti. No thumbnail or bad sound, etc (plays ok as of 26th August 2020) ... Bonus video, with Professor Zhang WeiWei & Professor Timothy Ash (a Munk debate). Which one works for an elite and which for the common people ... Looks like the video version has been 'black-holed' : (

Chóngzhōu lies about 35 kilometers west of downtown ChengDu. A beautiful film ...
