"The Stone Forest of Yunnan has been inscribed upon the World Heritage List of the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage."
This is written on the entrance ticket, adding on to its value for tourists!
I have heard of this long time ago, with strongest impression coming from Wisely’s novel “魔磁”. In that story, a round metallic item was found within the stone forest, with material not familiar by any scientists…
Actually I see this place very similar to the Pinnacles in Perth, Australia. Visiting these two places you need to have good imaginations, coz the stones can really represent anything that you can imagine.
Take a few examples…
On the top left picture, isn’t it look like a pig? On the top right, they look like 2 torches of fires! Bottom left is seen as a GuanGong (关公) and bottom right looks like a cat!
At the end of our tour in Stone Forest, we saw some of the Yizu people gathered and danced. These are old folks, and they are still looking great and fit!!
Here is a short video of their dance:
