Kunming, the capital of stunning Yunnan Province, is famous for its excellent scenery. Shilin, or literally "Stone Forest", is the most famous. As 'One of the World's Natural Wonders', Stone Forest features natural karst stone formations that resemble a forest; some are elegant, some are rugged and each has distinguishing characteristics that make each seem lifelike. The tall rocks jut from the ground much like stalagmites or even like trees of stone, creating the illusion of a forest made of stone. [China.org.cn/Photo by Sun Jihu]
