Shilin stone forest

On a huge area of ​​350 square kilometers, there is a unique stone forest in China called Shilin. This natural wonder has the title of a national park and annually attracts many tourists who want to experience the majesty of the "stone skyscrapers".

The appearance of such a place on the planet is due to the long-term impact of sea currents, because many years ago water reigned here. She, along with erosion, has shaped the landscape in the form of caves, depressions, gorges and giant stones.

Why is the Shilin Stone Forest in China so attractive?

The entire territory is divided into 7 sections, where amazing sights are located:

A torch festival is traditionally held every year. On it, tourists have the opportunity to enjoy the extraordinary atmosphere and test their strength in various events: playing a dragon, wrestling, bull fights.

In the Shilin forest, everything is done for the convenience of tourists: there are billboards with photos and necessary information everywhere, paths are arranged, following which you can easily walk from one tourist place to another.

If you want to relax during the excursion, you can recuperate at the cozy benches and tables in the shade, surrounded by flowers, bamboo thickets and picturesque meadows. It is good that dangerous snakes are not found here, as on the island of Keimada Grande. Those who do not like to walk a lot can order a tour by bus.

To visit the Shilin Stone Forest, you will have to pay 5 RMB, but it should be noted that the entrance ticket to certain areas is bought separately. Russian-speaking tour guides cannot be found here, but you can order a tour in English.
