Wansheng stone forest is the oldest stone forest in China. It is composed of Xianglu mountain, Luhua lake, lovers spring, yixiantian, shiguping, qiantalin and Tianmen cave. Among these scenic spots, the stone fan, stone turtle, stone tomb, stone gorge, fossil, stone drum, stone tower and sedan chair song are also known as the "eight wonders" of Wansheng stone forest.

Stone fan

The fan is placed in the north and south, with a diameter of about 6.5 meters, a thickness of less than 2 meters and a height of nearly 6 meters. The fan weighs nearly 200 tons. The height of the handle is about 1.6 m, the widest side is about 1 m, and the thinnest side is less than 0.5 m. The fan is huge and thick, and the handle is small and delicate. It seems to be crumbling, but it has been standing for hundreds of millions of years. Tourism authorities say that this fan is the world's top fan in terms of volume and weight, so the stone fan has the reputation of "the first fan in the world". Strangely enough, in the hot summer, as soon as people approach the stone fan, they will feel cool and refreshing. Fossil

Wansheng stone forest was formed about 460 million years ago. At that time, this area was once a vast ocean and an ancient home for sea creatures. There are many kinds of fossils in Wansheng stone forest. There are stone turtle, stone shell, stone snail, stone egg and so on. Most of them are hornstones formed in Cambrian. Most of them are yellowish brown, some are exposed on the surface of the stone, some are inlaid in the stone, the posture is myriad. Fossils are of great value for scientific investigation and appreciation in the study of the geological and marine evolution of the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau and the southeastern Sichuan Basin.

Shixia

It's a canyon formed by karst collapse and rock fracture. There are three stone Gorges in the east of Shilin, which are called "Lotus gorge, bird singing gorge and Tingquan gorge". The most fascinating of the Three Gorges is Tingquan gorge, which is about 300 meters long, 1-2 meters wide and 80 meters deep. Standing among them, looking up, I saw a line of blue sky, like a lock of blue ribbon floating overhead. On both sides of the cliff if cut, towering wall, magnificent momentum. Both sides of the cliff are made up of boulders of similar size and shape weighing tens of tons. The gap between the stones is regular, like an ancient city wall made by man. At any time, there are water drops dripping from the rock wall. At this time, no matter how hot it is outside, it's cool here.

Stone turtle

"Stars in the sky, stars on the earth, and countless turtles in the stone forest. "There are countless stone turtles in Wansheng stone forest. The stones in Shilin are formed on the sea floor. Due to the accumulation of sedimentary rocks and the movement of sea water, the stone surface of Shilin today has a similar pattern to turtle shell. Some stones stick out the tortoise's "head" and "foot", so there are countless stone turtles. And the largest stone turtle in Wansheng stone forest is Guishan in the east of stone forest. Guishan is about 500 meters long. Looking from Xianglu mountain, its head looks to the south, its tail to the north, and its back rises. It can be said to be the turtle king of Wansheng stone forest. Stone drum

The local people spread such a ballad which can not be cracked up to now: "the stone Man vs the stone drum, the gold is fifty-five thousand.". Who can guess, buy Chongqing government. "The stone drum is 4 meters high and only 1.4 meters in diameter. It consists of two parts. The upper part is slightly short, the middle part is cut by the waist, and the joint of the upper and lower parts is only about one fourth of the contact area. At first glance, it is also full of dangers. And so many years later, it still stands still in the wind and rain, unshakable.

sepulchre

There are three stone tombs in Wansheng stone forest. One is under the parking lot, and the other two are near Luhua lake. The three tombs are all ancient tombs. They were built in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, about 130 years ago. They were all well built. The front of the tomb is carved with beautiful flowers, birds, dragons and lions. And a stone tomb under the parking lot is almost exactly similar to one of the tombs on the Bank of Luhua Lake in the stone forest. Few people know the reason. We can only imagine why they are the same.

Stone pagoda

On the back of Xianglu mountain, there is a stone city with an area of more than one square kilometer. If you look at them carefully, they are all like towers, with different layers. The highest one is eight, with a height of more than 20 meters. At least there are two layers, which are similar to people's height. They are very similar in shape to man-made towers, with bases, edges and tops. Nearly a hundred such towers are crowded together, and people walk through them, confused and hard to find their way back. Because of its large number, it is known as "thousand tower city" by tourists.

Sedan chair song

It was made up by the sedan bearers in Shilin to coordinate the movements of the front and back people. These sedan chair songs from life reflect the wisdom of sedan chair bearers. The sedan chair song is catchy and sounds very interesting. For example, when the sedan chair driver in front sees water on the ground, he shouts "the sky is bright" to remind the sedan chair driver in back. The sedan chair driver in back should say "water on the ground" and be very careful. When beating around the Bush, the front shouts "bend your head", and the back shouts "walk slowly". The echo of sedan chair song improves the safety factor.
