A huge stone peaks like blocking the screen, blocking the line of sight of visitors, the peak of the rock overlapping, as if the eagle looked back, majestic. From the front, the stone screen was three stones stacked together, seemingly separate, but the roots are connected, as if a huge screen. In the long process of geological evolution, the rock around the peak were dissolved by the water and disappeared, leaving the remnants of this giant stone screen. The stone screen looks like an eagle spreading its wings and wants to fly, so it is also known as the "roc spreading its wings
And then live in front of the walk is the green ox playing in the water, the two buffaloes are playing in the water, the spine of the back of the time, a rustic scenery.
The Lion Mountain, at an altitude of one thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight point nine meters, is the highest point of the Boulder Forest area. Passing through the dense and cool woods, you will come to the Lion Pavilion after ascending Lion Mountain. Standing on the Lion Pavilion, you can see the beauty of the stone forest. Looking down, the vast stone peaks are like a forest, with clear and well-organized layers. Gray stones dotted with green trees in the middle, constituting the color tone of the stone forest.
The Lion Pavilion is the best place to see the panoramic view of the Stone Forest from afar. Ascending the Lion Pavilion, the south is a sea of stone waves, the vastness of the vastness of the stone forest into the eyes; the east is a faction of the lake and mountains, microwave ripples of the stone forest lake water such as the autumn wave of bright eyes. As the saying goes, if you don't visit the Lion Pavilion, you don't count as visiting the Stone Forest.
From the Lion Rock down to the inner ring station.
I asked one of the staff, "How do I get to Buzheng Mountain, Plum Garden and Wannian Lingzhi? "
He asked me in return: "Have you seen the Boulder Forest?"
"I went to the Guanfeng Pavilion, the deep valley of the orchid, the Jianfeng Pond, the Stone Forest Scenery and the Lion Pavilion." I replied.
"The Great Stone Forest is basically finished, the places you mentioned are car tours." He said.
Car ride along the inner ring road, the first to see is the Wannian Lingzhi Scenic Area, which is located in the west of the Boulder Forest Scenic Area, an area of about 3 square kilometers, the scenic area within the terrain of the undulating and open, sparsely distributed in the hills and depressions of large and small stone columns, forming a number of large on the bottom of the mushroom-shaped stone columns, so the name of the Wannian Lingzhi . In front of the Wannian Lingzhi Scenic Area is the Buzheng Mountain Scenic Area.
Step whistle mountain is located in the east of the big stone forest, small stone forest of the south, to the scenic area around the forest east road as the boundary, north-south, band distribution, geomorphology of the big stone forest erosion depressions in the eastern slope platform. Because of the end of the Qing Dynasty, Shilin County Yi People's Volunteer Army leader Zhao Fa was stationed in this mountain, set up a foot sentry patrol and the name.
The top of the hill is 1,796.7 meters above sea level, which is nearly 50 meters higher than the peak-viewing pavilion of Dashilin, and is the highest elevation of the Shilin scenic area. The highest altitude of the stone forest scenic area. Climbing high and looking far away, the sea of forests and pines; walking in the forest, the sword peaks in the sky. In the area, there are many columnar stone forests, with unique landscapes such as "five stone gates of Busho" and "pine waves of Busho". There are giant gastropods, corals and other marine fossils in the attractions, recording the vibrant marine world of 2.7 billion years ago.
Get off at the Lotus Pond, sit on the stone chairs by the side of the pond to take a rest and enjoy the beautiful landscape in front of you. The rocky peaks like iron, chaotic peaks into the clouds, the beauty is beautiful, see long time will eventually give people a sense of oppression. Creator also seems to find, in the size of the stone forest dotted with a lotus pond. Lake reflecting mountain color, green grass, intoxicating. Poolside there is a small square called the Sun and Moon Plaza, the field stands a huge Sani musical instrument big three strings, every afternoon scenic spot art troupe in the square stage performances of national songs and dances.
Leave the Lotus Pond, cross the road to the small stone forest. The Little Stone Forest is located in the northeast of the Big Stone Forest. If the big stone forest to its majestic, mysterious and magical win, then the small stone forest is exquisite, fresh and elegant known. If the Boulder Forest is compared to Ah Hei, then the Small Stone Forest is Asima. The lawn of Xiaoshilin is like a huge green carpet, evergreen in all seasons, planted with early harvest, rye grass, sheep spear and so on. In the contrast between high and short, gray and green, it is the most ingenious combination of natural and artificial garden model. Along the way, you can see natural sculptures such as "Lovers by the Pond", "Sword of the King of Yue" and "Three Stone Gate".
The Yi language meaning of Ashima is a girl as beautiful as gold. She gazes into the distance, day after day, year after year, looking forward to the arrival of Ah Hei. Asima embodies the nature of the Sani people in pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, and symbolizes the pursuit of freedom and the spirit of self-improvement, which is the goddess in the hearts of the Sani people.
Asima is the ideal character in the hearts of Sani people. The stone forest is sentimental because of her, and she is famous because of the stone forest. Her beauty has been transformed into a spectacle, her love has been cast into a beautiful love. This stone statue has now become the symbol of Yunnan tourism, and Ashima statue photo has become a net red project for tourists to the stone forest.
After the tour of the small stone forest, I was reluctant to move towards the ticket box mouth, ride back to the ticket building, this section of the road should be the plum garden, it is outside the ring forest road, in the circle of dozens of miles of wild mountains, covered with strange columns of strange stones, there are gathered and scattered, there are ups and downs, trees dotted with overgrown grass, wildflowers bloom, to maintain the primitive natural landscape.
Out of the gate, the company's car has long been waiting outside. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, Ms. Hai Yamei is a Saanian, Saanian is a branch of the Yi people. She is really beautiful, the beauty of the Asima heirloom, if I was thirty years younger, I would also be a time when the Ah Hei brother, but there is no if. When I got home, I gave Ms. Haiyamei a red packet and said, "Please accept the red packet, it is a reward for your passionate work, but she never accepted it.
