🏞 Xingwen Stone Forest (Xingwen Shihai)

A unique natural wonder made up of towering limestone pillars and formations.

The "Stone Sea" covers a vast area, featuring caves, sinkholes, underground rivers, and natural bridges.

It’s one of the three major karst stone forests in China, alongside the famous Stone Forest in Yunnan.

The park offers hiking trails, boat rides on underground rivers, and exploration of spectacular caves.

The stone formations resemble a “sea” of stone pillars, hence the name.
