There is a forest in China made of stone.
The Stone Forest (Shilin) in Yunnan province is an extraordinary landscape where thousands of towering limestone pillars rise from the ground like a petrified woodland, some reaching heights of 20 to 50 meters.
Approximately 270 million years ago, this area was a shallow tropical seabed where thick layers of limestone formed from marine life. Tectonic uplift later exposed the rock, and over millions of years, mildly acidic rainwater carved the stone through a slow dissolution process known as karstification.
The result is one of the world’s most spectacular examples of pinnacle karst topography a surreal “forest” of jagged, majestic stone formations
