The Stone Forest is known as “One of Earth’s Natural Wonders”. These formations, caused by the dissolution of limestone are over 270 million years old. The area used to be an ocean! It´s located in Shilin County, 85 kilometres southeast of Kunming, China.
According to legend, the forest is the birthplace of Ashima, a beautiful girl of the Yi people. After falling in love she was forbidden to marry her chosen suitor and instead turned into a stone in the forest that still bears her name.
