Wansheng Stone Forest

Write: Klavdia [2011-05-23]

Located 165 kilometers from downtown Chongqing, Wansheng Stone Forest (wansheng shilin) is the oldest (formed during the Ordovician epoch) and the second largest stone forest (the largest one is in Guilin) in China.

The forest here has a typical karst appearance, filled with sword, drum, pagoda, mushroom and bud shaped stones as well as animal shapes. This place in fact could be called a zoo of stoneware.
