Want a trip to discover the natural world Our travel agency has worked out a list of natural wonders for your travel destinations.
The first wonder we will introduce to you is the Stone Forest in China, which lies about 80 miles from Kunming city. The Stone Forest has gone through 280 million years of formation and finally developed into
different shapes, such as plants, animals and human figures. They are all lifelike. These 20 — 50 meters high stones look like a forest from a distance. That’s why people call it “Stone Forest”.
