oh, Nature

I subscribe to this page-a-day calendar through some website and it's part of the 1001 places you need to see before you die edition, and today's place is Yunnan, China and it features the Stone Forest. It is quite breath- taking. I'd like to visit it someday but time and money might not be in my favour.

"The Stone Forest is in Lunan Yi Nationality Autonomous County, which is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Kunming and requires only a three-hour drive. It covers an area of 400 square kilometers (96,000 acres) and includes both large and small stone forests, as well as many other scenic spots. An old local saying says that 'If you have visited Kunming without seeing the Stone Forest, you have wasted your time.' Truly, the Stone Forest is one of the most important attractions of Yunnan."
