Yunnan Shilin (Stone Forest) is situated in southwest China's Yunnan province.
Magnificent peak forests of various forms characterize the area, looking like pillars, swords, pagodas, mushrooms, human figures and exotic animals.
Ranging from 20 meters to 50 meters in height, they look like a forest, hence the name Stone Forest. The area is inhabited by people of the Yi nationality. Ancient rock paintings and stone inscriptions in the ancient Yi characters have been discovered in many places there.
