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.

1) A visit to the YangShuo countryside. The scenery and landscape are so beautiful and breathtaking. Strolling by a bamboo raft along the YuLong River; watching the fabulous cormorant birds catching fish, the YuLong Bridge and the village is well worth the visit. Overall the scenes are picturesque and awesome.
