Why does Lunan Stone Forest have the reputation of the world s first wonder?

Because the Lunan Stone Forest is a relatively concentrated area of karst landform, with a total area of 400 square kilometers, the stone forest is densely packed, which is very spectacular.

First of all, its area is wide and concentrated.

Secondly, like the raw stone, its formation is not easy, it requires the accumulation and precipitation of time, and it is not human to create. It is because of natural creation that it is difficult to form a special shape, and it is beautiful because it is special.

Finally, there is the development and operation, and the operation can give it value improvement.

Lunan Stone Forest is an area with hard limestone beds. It is uplifted by the movement of the earth's crust, and after the fracture, part of the rock is dissolved and washed by water.

The so-called karst landform, also known as karst landform, refers to the dissolution of soluble rocks (mainly limestone) on the surface by water and dissolution, precipitation, collapse, collapse, accumulation and other hail phenomena, and the formation of a variety of special landforms - stone forests, stone pinnacles, stone buds, dissolution buckets, sinkholes, underground rivers, as well as strange dragon pools, numerous lakes, etc., these phenomena are collectively called karst (because the karst plateau in northwest Yugoslavia is the most typical, hence the name).

In the Devonian period of the Paleozoic Era, about 360 million years ago, the area around Lunan was still part of the ancient sea of Yunnan and Guizhou. About 280 million years ago, in the Carboniferous period, the stone forest began to form. The limestone in the sea has been continuously washed away by the flow of seawater, leaving countless karst ditches and dissolution columns.

Later, the earth's crust continued to rise and accumulated over a long period of time, and it gradually turned from sea to land. After the sea receded, it went through hundreds of millions of years of scorching sun and rain erosion, weathering, and **, leaving this magnificent wonder like a fairy tale world. Looking from afar, the branches, one by one, a cluster of huge gray-black stone peaks and stone pillars raise their heads to the sky, pointing directly to the blue sky, like a reckless and vast black forest, so it is called "Stone Forest".

The eastern part of Yunnan Province, the southeast of Kunming City, is a suburban county under the jurisdiction of Kunming City.

Hello! Stone Forest refers to: Stone Forest Yi Autonomous County, formerly known as Lunan Yi Autonomous County, located in Kunming, Yunnan.

Because it is a scenic spot with karst landforms (karst landforms) as the main body, there are hundreds of huge black forest-like boulders in an area of 400 square kilometers of stone forests. Some are independent into a scene, some are criss-crossed, connected into a piece, covering an area of dozens of acres, hundreds of acres. The most typical piece is called Liziying Stone Forest, strange stones rise from the ground, jagged peaks and peaks, thousands of postures, ghostly axes, and are praised as "the first wonder of the world" by people.

So in recent years, with the needs of tourism, it has been renamed "Stone Forest".

This fairytale-like magnificent spectacle, looking from afar, the branches, one by one, clusters of huge gray-black stone peaks and stone pillars raise their heads to the sky, pointing straight to the blue sky, like a reckless black forest.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, the stone forest has become a famous attraction, but it was not until the 50s of the 20th century that the relevant units and personnel were organized to seriously carry out hail survey, design, construction, construction of the tour road and the outside of the road, hotel, restaurant, shopping mall, etc., to some elephant stone named, the stone forest gradually became famous in the five continents, the source is becoming a world-famous tourist resort. Every year on the 24th day of June of the lunar calendar is the Torch Festival, and the people of Yi, Han and other ethnic groups around the stone forest must gather in the stone forest from all directions to celebrate the festival.

During the day, people hold competitions such as wrestling, pole climbing, and bullfighting, and at night, they light a roaring bonfire, play dragons, lion dances, and perform folk songs and dances. The moon dance and the big three-string dance are the most popular traditional programs. Thousands of Chinese and foreign guests enjoyed the carnival all night long.

The combination of magical natural landscape and beautiful cultural landscape makes the stone forest icing on the cake and the charm is doubled. Stone Forest.
