What city is Shilin in?

1. Lunan Stone Forest

The Stone Forest Scenic Area is located in Lunan County, 1 kilometers away from Kunming, and consists of seven scenic areas: Big Stone Forest, Small Stone Forest, Naigu Stone Forest, Dadieshui, Changhu Lake, Yuehu Lake, Zhiyun Cave and Strange Wind Tunnel. The county has a stone forest with an area of 4 square kilometers, which is a scenic spot with karst landforms as the main body and high reputation at home and abroad.

The so-called karst landforms, also known as karst landforms, refer to the phenomena of surface soluble rocks (mainly limestone) being dissolved by water, such as dissolution, sedimentation, collapse, subsidence, accumulation, etc., which form various special landforms-stone forests, rock peaks, stone buds, karst caves, underground rivers, strange Longtan, numerous lakes, etc. These phenomena are collectively called karst (due to Yugoslavia). Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan and other provinces and regions in China are all distributed, among which the best-developed and most beautiful stone forest is Kunming Road South Stone Forest. In 1966, the second karst academic conference in China suggested changing "karst landform" into "karst landform", so it was also called karst landform in China.

Shilin scenic area has a wide range and concentrated stone forests. It is rare in the world because of its many images and stones and high landscape value. There are also developed provincial-level scenic spots such as Jiuxiang, Alugu Cave and Bailong Cave around. In addition, the climate is like spring all the year round, which is comfortable and pleasant. It is a good place for sightseeing and leisure. In 1982, it was approved by the State Council as the first batch of national key scenic spots.

Yi costumes, Lunan halogen rot, Yiliang roast duck and fried bee pupa are special products worth buying or tasting when visiting Shilin. The songs and dances of Yi people also have high appreciation value and cultural connotation.

Located in the east of Kunming, Shilin is a rare scenic spot in the world and a masterpiece of nature. In the area of 4 square kilometers south of Lunan, there are hundreds of large black forest-like boulders. Some stand alone, some crisscross and connect into one piece, covering tens of acres and hundreds of acres. The most typical one is called Liziying Stone Forest. I saw strange stones rising from the ground, jagged peaks and mountains, and wonderful workmanship, which was praised as "the first wonder in the world".

during the Paleozoic Devonian period about 36 million years ago, Lunan area was still a part of the ancient sea of Yunnan and Guizhou. About 28 million years ago, the Stone Forest began to form in the Carboniferous. Limestone in the sea is constantly washed away when the sea water flows, leaving countless gullies and columns. Later, the earth's crust here continued to rise and accumulated for a long time before gradually turning the sea into land. After the sea receded, it experienced hundreds of millions of years of scorching sun, rain erosion, weathering and earthquake, leaving this fairy tale-like magnificent spectacle. From a distance, the branches, blocks and clusters of huge gray-black stone peaks hold their heads high in the sky, pointing directly at the sky, like a vast black forest, hence the name "Stone Forest".

Liziying Stone Forest, the main tourist area of Stone Forest, covers an area of about 12 square kilometers with a tourist area of about 1,2 mu. It is mainly composed of Shilin Lake, Oishinohayashi, Xiaoshilin and Li Ziyuan, with a tour distance of more than 5, meters, which is the largest, most concentrated and most beautiful place in Shilin Scenic Area. Enter the scenic area, but see the stone pillars, stone walls and stone peaks in various forms, competing for beauty. Some stone pillars are as high as 4-5 meters. At first glance, as an allegorical limerick says, "When you look at a big stone from a distance, you can see that it is big when you look near. The stone is really big, and it is really big. " But the stone here is different, it is a wonderful painting, attracting tourists from all corners of the country to stop and watch it every day; It is a beautiful poem, which has been chanted by countless poets and poets throughout the ages. It is spiritual and alive; There are double horses crossing the food, peacock combing wings, phoenix spirit instrument, elephant distance stone platform, rhinoceros looking at the moon; There are countless elephant-like stones, such as Tang Priest Stone, Wukong Stone, Bajie Stone, Friar Sand Stone, Guanyin Stone, General Stone, Soldier Figurines, Poets' Singing, Mother-child Traveling Together, Ashima, etc., all of which are vivid and lifelike, which is amazing. In addition to animals, there are many similar plants, such as mushrooms, jade tube flowers and so on. There is a "Zhong Shi" that can play many different tones. The whole Liziying Stone Forest is a huge treasure house of natural stone scenery art, allowing tourists to observe, discover and imagine freely. In the scenic spot, the peaks turn around, the winding path leads to a secluded place, and the scenery changes, making people like a maze fairyland, and visitors are full of praise. There are lion pavilions, Wangfeng pavilions, stone platforms and stone benches in the scenic area for people to rest.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, the Stone Forest had become a scenic spot, but it was not until the 195s that the government organized relevant units and personnel to seriously carry out survey, design, construction, and construction of tourist roads, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, etc., and named some elephant-like stones, and the Stone Forest gradually became famous in five continents and became a world-famous tourist attraction.

You can also have a bird's-eye view by helicopter from Shihang, which is 6 kilometers away from Shilin, and it's interesting. Every year, the 24th June of the lunar calendar is the Torch Festival, and people of all ethnic groups, such as Yi and Han, around the Stone Forest gather in all directions to celebrate the festival. People hold wrestling, pole climbing, bullfighting and other competitions during the day, and at night, they light a blazing yellow fire, play dragons, dance lions and perform folk songs and dances. Axi Yuetiao and Da Sanxian Dance are the most popular traditional programs. Thousands of Chinese and foreign guests reveled all night. The combination of magical natural landscape and beautiful human landscape has added icing on the cake to the stone forest and doubled its power.

about 3 million years ago, it was still a sea of Wang Yang. Two million years ago, the carbonate rocks rising from the seabed gradually formed hundreds of stone peaks, Dianthus, stalagmites, etc. after long-term dissolution, erosion and weathering by seawater and rain. The stone forest was named after this.
