Interesting Feature in China:
The Stone Forest near Kunming is sometimes referred to as the “First Wonder of the World”. Approx 270 million years ago the region was a vast expanse of sea. Over time, as the waters retreated, with erosion, the area developed into the current appearance. Spanning 400 square kilometres there are both large and small stone forests as well as many other scenic spots.
