Ancient stone forest

Eight kilometers away from the stone forest scenic spot, there is a majestic black stone forest, covering an area of 8 square kilometers. It used to be called Shimen peak or Shimen sentry. Naigu Stone Forest Scenic Area, covering an area of about 10 square kilometers, is composed of Eastern District, Western District, Baiyun Lake, Baiyun cave and ancient battlefield. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can enjoy a sea of black rocks, which is very impressive. If you are interested, you can walk in the forest and feel a wild atmosphere. What's more amazing is that there are karst caves everywhere in the Naigu stone forest. Up to now, nine of them have been proved. Therefore, it is very appropriate to describe the characteristics of the ancient stone forest as "looking up from the peak, in the middle of the forest and drilling underground".

brief introduction

Naigu is the Sani language of the Yi nationality, which means ancient and black. It is an ancient stone forest, about 10 kilometers away from the big stone forest. The scenic area covers an area of about 10 square kilometers, and is composed of Eastern District, Western District, Baiyun Lake, Baiyun cave and ancient battlefield. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can enjoy a sea of black rocks, which is very impressive. If you are interested, you can walk in the forest and feel the wild atmosphere. What's more amazing is that there are karst caves everywhere in the Naigu stone forest. Up to now, nine of them have been proved,

Among them, the local farmers are familiar with "bend cave", "bat cave" and "Baiyun cave" (only "Baiyun cave" was once opened as a tourist attraction. When Shilin applied for "World Natural Heritage", it was closed and maintained together with Naigu Shilin scenic spot, and then it was not opened again when Naigu Shilin reopened...). It is very appropriate to describe the characteristics of the ancient stone forest as "looking up the peak, in the middle of the forest and drilling underground".

Naigu stone forest is named "heisongyan" because it looks like a green pine forest when looking down. Hei is called "Naigu" in Yi language.

Shilin scenic spot is located in Lunan County, 100 miles away from Kunming city. The county is a relatively concentrated area of karst landforms (also known as karst landforms) in China, with a total stone forest area of 400 Li. The scenic area consists of entrance area, Gulin yaochi area, Liangzhu meeting area, yingyingchi area, baiyuntang area and baxianting area. Among them, there are many stone like stones in the stone forest with high landscape value, which are rare in the world. In 1982, it was approved as the first batch of national key scenic spots.

Naigu stone forest is located 13 kilometers to the north of "stone forest", also known as new stone forest or mozhai stone forest (local villagers call him dashidong), covering an area of more than 5000 mu, with a newly built tour road of more than 6 kilometers. Compared with the "stone forest", here is another feature and style. When you enter the Naigu stone forest, you can see a strange, dark stone rising like the sea. It's magnificent, and it's like a fortified ancient battlefield. In the scenic area, there are also magical and magnificent underground caves, which are called underground heaven palace or Crystal Palace, belonging to underground karst landform. The gate to the Naigu stone forest must pass by the Bank of Baiyun Lake. The water of Baiyun Lake is very clear. There are two small islands in the lake, which are called "Penglai" and "Yingzhou". There are many weathered stone pillars on the isolated mountain outside the ancient stone forest, some like war horses, some like blockhouses, so this stone forest is called the ancient battlefield.

History and culture

According to the annals of Luliang Prefecture written by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, "Shimen peak, 40 Li southwest, is named Shimen sentry.".

In 1985, the people's Government of Shilin County named it "Naigu Shilin", which means "black" in Yi language.

The style of the ancient stone forest is quite different from that of the big stone forest and the small stone forest. The stone forest is similar in size and height. From a distance, it seems that there is a lack of change in dense clusters. From a near view, it is quite different.

The ancient battlefields were covered with gold, which made them more solemn, solemn and mysterious. There are 96 named scenic spots in Naigu stone forest.
