Stone Forest
The Stone Forest of Lunan County is considered to be a wonder of the world because of its imposing natural landscape. It is located about 86 kilometers from Kunming, and contains layers of hills and the rising stone peaks of the "forest". There is also a varied range of cultural heritage associated with the region, such as legends and folklore of the stone forest. These include the legends of "Ashima" and the Torchlight Festival of the Sani people, which takes place on the 24th June each year, and the "Axi Dance Under Moonlight" of the Yi people. As soon as one enters the Stone Forest scenic area, a crystal-clear lake comes into focus. A few hundred steps beyond the lake, there is a pool with a huge boulder in the shape of a squatting lion.
