锦绣华南 14

This is the famous Stone Forest, the product of countless years of erosion, producing a maze of deep gullies and sharp-edged pinnacles. Limestone has the strange property that it dissolves in rainwater. Over many thousands of years water has corroded its way deep into the heart of the bedrock itself. This natural wonder is a famous tourist spot, receiving close to 2 million visitors each year. The Chinese are fond of curiously shaped rocks and many have been given fanciful names. No prizes for guessing what this one is called.

这就是著名的石林，无数年侵蚀作用的产物，造就了无数的狭道与巅峰。石灰石有一个独性：那就是能被雨水分解。在数千年的漫长光阴中，水的侵蚀深入到岩床的心脏地带。这一自然奇观成为了著名的旅游景点。每年的访客数量多达200万人。中国人特别喜好奇形怪状的岩石，并以为嶙峋怪石冠上千奇百怪的名字为乐，但没人来猜测这个块怪石的名字。
