Yunnan stone forest

The entrance to the stone forest park
The two Chinese characters are Shi Lin


The stone forest, known as Shilin locally, is a park of strange
and unique rock formations in the province of Yunnan,
China.

The actual forest is a much huger area stretching tens of
kilometer out of the park.

The forest was once the ocean many million years ago.
The rocks were eroded by ocean currents into the sizes and shapes as they are today.
