An essay describing the Stone Forest in Yunnan

Composition of Yunnan Stone Forest (1)

The Stone Forest in Yunnan is a wonderful place. Stones are colorful, big and small, and all kinds of stones come together to form a unique landscape. It's memorable, but I still want to go there.

Uneven stones stand on the endless grass as if they were tall and huge. Its straight body makes it impossible to climb. There are many flowers and trees beside the stone, embellishing it.

Dad told me that these stones are all naturally formed, not artificially made. It's karst landform. The geographical phenomenon formed by the earth's crustal movement or volcanic eruption for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years is a landform formed by the dissolution and deposition of soluble rocks, especially carbonate rocks, by running water containing carbon dioxide. It has a strange shape, with caves and cliffs. Shilin is a kind of columnar limestone with a large surface, which is formed by water dissolution or erosion along the vertical cracks of the rock. Dad's words solved a mystery in my heart.

These stones also have different postures. Some are like a slim girl; Some are like old grandfathers; Some are like a lively and lovely child ... every stone is a colorful painting, wonderful! At this time, another mystery rose in my heart. What touching story is hidden behind it? Dad also told me that nature is wonderful, and you need to explore and discover it carefully to find the answer. I suddenly realized!

I love the stone forest in Yunnan!

"Look at the big stone from a distance, look at the big stone from a distance. Sure enough, the stone is big, and the stone is really big. " This is a doggerel left by Guo Moruo after visiting Shilin that year. People will think of Shilin when reciting this poem. During the May Day holiday, our family of three went to the famous Stone Forest in China with a group.

It takes about an hour to drive from downtown Kunming to Shilin. About fifteen minutes after we left the city by car, the car sped on the wide expressway. Through the window, the towering mountains are rolling, and the trees on the mountains are lush and straight into the sky. The car sped on this mountain road again, and the peak outside the window dropped sharply. ...

In a short time, Shilin arrived. I can't wait to get off the bus and run to Shilin. I looked intently, wow! There are stones all over the mountains, big, small, horizontal, vertical, towering, lying ... They either smile at you or whisper to you ... in various ways, the weather is myriad.

At this time, the tour guide pointed to the big stone at the top of the front and said, "Please be careful, this stone on your head is about to fall!" " But don't worry, it won't fall. I looked up and said, "Wow!" Can't help but gasp! This stone is hanging in the air, as if it were really going to fall! On closer inspection, it turned out that it was supported in the sky by two tall vertical stones. Seen from the side, this stone is firmly placed between two stones and won't fall at all. When people are in shock, people can't help but sigh at the wonder of nature.

"Please be careful, there is a sea of knives and mountains ahead." The sudden words of the tour guide startled me again and stopped quickly. A closer look shows that there is a sharp and straight stone right in front. This stone has different shapes from top to bottom. The stone above looks like a sharp knife, and the stone below looks like a burning fire, hence the name "Dao Shan Hai Huo". Avoid the "sea of knives and mountains" and bypass the small bridge, and another stone scene is displayed in front of you. This stone is like a huge sail, so it is named "Smooth sailing".

Ah! I love the beautiful Yunnan Stone Forest!

Yunnan Shilin is known as "the first wonder in the world" and "Museum of Natural Sculpture and Geomorphology", and it is also known as the four natural wonders of China along with Wusong in Jilin, the landscape of Guilin and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

Today, my parents and I came to this famous tourist attraction-Shilin. (m.taiks.com) The Stone Forest really lives up to its reputation. The tour guide said, "More than a thousand years ago, this was a sea. Later, crustal movement turned it into land. All the stones you see now are stones by the sea. Because most of them look like trees, Shilin got this reputation.

Stones in Shilin have different shapes, some like ducks, some like horses, some like dogs ... The most interesting ones are cat stones and rat stones. Cat stone opened its mouth and pounced on rat stone, who held his head and begged for mercy loudly. There is also a kind of human-like stone. According to the tour guide, the name of this stone is Ashima. It is said that Ashima was swept away by a flash flood a long time ago and turned into a stone, waiting for Brother Hei to come to her.

The scenery of Shilin is really beautiful, which makes me relaxed and happy!
