Kunming Stone forest 昆明石林

(ref DeepSeek) Kunming Stone Forest, located in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, a Global Geopark, and a 5A-rated scenic area. Formed by long-term water erosion of limestone, it features classic karst landscape and is known as the "First Wonder of the World." The forest originated from limestone deposited in a shallow sea about 270 million years ago. Tectonic uplift raised it above sea level, and subsequent erosion by rainwater and groundwater along vertical joints carved the limestone into sword-like, pillar-like, and tower-like rock formations.
(参考深度探索) 昆明石林位于云南省昆明市石林彝族自治县，是世界自然遗产、世界地质公园和5A级景区。它因石灰岩被水长期溶蚀而形成典型喀斯特地貌，被誉为“天下第一奇观”。石林约2.7亿年前由浅海环境中的石灰岩沉积而成，后经地壳运动抬升露出水面，再被雨水和地下水沿垂直节理溶蚀、切割，最终形成剑状、柱状、塔状等形态各异的石峰群。Read more
