2. Lunan Stone Forest: Lunan Stone Forest is famous for its stone forest, with many scenic spots, including Shilin Scenic Area, Heisongyan Scenic Area, Longfei Waterfall Scenic Area, Changhu Scenic Area, Yuehu Scenic Area, Zhiyun Cave Scenic Area, Qifeng Wind Tunnel Scenic Area and Guishan National Forest Park. Among them, Shilin Scenic Area, Heisongyan Scenic Area, Longfei Waterfall Scenic Area and Changhu Scenic Area have been developed into tourist areas.

270 million years ago, more than 1000 square kilometers of stone "forest" rose in the Stone Forest, which was a sea of stones and a forest of rock sculptures.

Shilin is a veritable "forest" composed of rocks, which passes through it, but there are stones everywhere, towering abruptly and with different postures. Due to the function of limestone, the stone pillars are separated from each other. After years of wind and rain erosion, countless stone peaks, stone pillars, stalagmites and stone buds have formed strange stones, waterfalls, lakes, caves and peaks. Yunnan Shilin Karst is among the best in similar karst areas in the world in terms of the diversity of type distribution, the uniqueness of karst development, the complexity of geological evolution, the aesthetics of rock mechanism, the integration of humanistic customs and the accessibility of internal viewing. In particular, some areas of Shilin are the geological landforms formed by the superposition of limestone and basalt, which is rare in the world.

Geological science once named him karst landform, and said it was the footprint left by 300 million years of geological changes and wind and rain erosion. Yunnan Stone Forest is world-renowned for its unique geological scientific value, and it is one of the four natural landscapes in China. Among the limited stone forests found all over the world, Yunnan Stone Forest is not only typical, representative and unique because of its vast area, diverse types, strange shapes, complex causes and long history of development, but also has high scientific research and popular science value. It is the only karst landform area in the world that can show the evolution history of the earth with stone forest development relics and stone forest landscape series.

Stone forest, rock crown world.

The karst geological and geomorphological wonders in Shilin, Yunnan Province are widely distributed, magnificent, diverse in types and rich in landscape, covering an area of 1 100 square kilometers and a protected area of 350 square kilometers, attracting people with its extremely high aesthetic value. There are magnificent peak forests, lakes, waterfalls and caves on the vast land of Shilin. Miracles in heaven are beautiful. Strange sword-shaped, mushroom-shaped, tower-shaped, cylindrical, castle-shaped, stone bud-shaped, meta-leaf-shaped, etc. The anthropomorphic and lifelike stone forest, hidden in depressions, scattered in basins, hillsides and wilderness, or strangely suspended, is slim and graceful, condensing the greatest surprise that this world can give to mankind.

Shilin, China people are intoxicating.

Yunnan Shilin is intoxicating with its unique ethnic customs. In the colorful red land of Shilin, the Sani people of Yi nationality, the happiest group in the world, live. They created Ashima culture and happy songs and dances in the depths of Qifeng rocks and colorful clouds. They sacrificed, worked, fell in love, reveled, and created art and poetry that were as amazing and moving as the stone forest every moment.

There are not only a large number of ancient vertebrate fossils in Shilin area, which is listed as China vertebrate paleontology Nature Reserve, but also one of the areas with the richest Paleolithic and Neolithic sites 800,000 years ago. The rock paintings and stone carvings of Qingshilin in the scenic spot reflect the ancient sacrificial fireworks, dancing, hunting and fighting scenes of the Sani people of Yi nationality. Dushi Mountain in Changhu Lake, Yingzhai Village in Zhao Xian, and Bushao Mountain in Shilin, all retain the historical traces of the Zhao army in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty.

Stone forest is not only a natural landscape, but also a human landscape. Along with the lifestyle of the Sani people of the Yi nationality in Shilin, they not only created rich history and culture, but also created colorful folk culture and art represented by "Ashima" (which means a girl is as beautiful as gold in Yi language). With its unique language, rich poems and legends, colorful national costumes, passionate national songs and dances, simple and rough wrestling competitions and unique wedding and funeral styles, the long poem Ashima has become China. The film Ashima is very famous at home and abroad. ...

Shilin Scenic Area was formerly called "Li Ziqing" Shilin. It consists of Oishinohayashi, Xiaoshilin (Ashima Scenic Area), Bushaoshan, Li Ziyuan Qinghe Wannian Ganoderma lucidum in Lunan Yi Autonomous County. People used to say that Yunnan Stone Forest and Lunan Stone Forest refer to this area.

Charming natural landscape and unique human landscape complement each other, forming the magical landscape of Shilin. This mysterious land has therefore become a place that domestic and foreign tourists yearn for.

Oishinohayashi

The whole scenic spot is composed of dense stone peaks, like a stone basin. Here, the stone forest stands upright and abrupt, with smooth lines and a slight bluish gray color. The height of the tallest Oedolgae column is over 40 meters. There are some typical scenic spots, such as Lotus Peak, Jianfeng Pool and Phoenix Wings. The most famous is the Stone Forest Scenic Area with the inscription "Stone Forest" in Long Yun, and Wangfeng Pavilion is the best place to enjoy the "Linhai". People walk between the peaks and forests, and a few steps are blocked by the stone peaks. After many twists and turns, it is another world.

Xiaoshilin (Ashima Scenic Area)

Compared with the dense Oishinohayashi, the nearby small stone forest (Ashima Scenic Area) is sparse and elegant. The broad and solid stone wall divides the small stone forest (Ashima Scenic Area) into several gardens like a screen. The most famous scenic spot in Xiaoshilin (Ashima Scenic Area) is Ashima. As night falls, the colored lights are reflected, which is more beautiful and charming.

Bushaoshan

There are many strange peaks and rocks scattered here, which are the most in the whole Shilin scenic area.

Li Ziyuan Qing

Outside Lin Huan Road, dozens of miles of barren hills in Fiona Fang, Li Ziyuan are covered with strange columns and rocks. There are gatherings and scattered, ups and downs, and there are not many tall trees to seize the majestic stone forest. It maintains a natural style, and in the meantime, it gives people a completely different feeling from the large and small stone forests. On the jungle cliff about 300 meters southeast of Lin Huan Road, there is an ancient rock painting with images of unrestrained people, animals, things, stars and the moon. According to relevant experts' research, this belongs to primitive religious content, which is very similar to the writing of cliff painting in Zuojiang, Guangxi. Perhaps, this is the text left by the ancient Yi people!

Wannian ganoderma lucidum

Next to Qingbimu Lake, there is a stone peak about 15 meters high at the top of Shishan Mountain, which looks like a giant ganoderma lucidum, hence the name. When the sun sets, standing on the top of Ganoderma lucidum, there is a pleasant feeling that "all other mountains are dwarfed in the sky". .

Honor: National AAAA-level tourist area (spot) 8: In order to avoid seeing off, a scholar in Mengzi, southern Yunnan, lived alone on an island in Nanhu to study poetry. His virtuous wife brings him food every day, and the food is always cold when it is delivered. One day, she brought a can of chicken soup and opened it. It is still hot. It turned out that a thick layer of chicken oil kept the soup warm. Inspired by this, she often cooks chicken soup and rice noodles for her husband. Under the careful care and encouragement of his wife, her husband hung from the beam to the bone, studied hard, and finally got into the top spot, which was a beautiful talk. The reason why this kind of rice noodle is called "crossing the bridge rice noodle" is because this virtuous wife wants to cross the bridge when she delivers it, and also because the scholar won the top prize in the exam, which was once called "top rice noodle".
