Kunming Stone Forest, also known as Yunnan Stone Forest, corresponds to Ashatu Stone Forest in Inner Mongolia. Kunming Shilin is famous for its stone forest, with a wide range of scenic spots, including Shilin Scenic Area, Heisongyan Scenic Area, Longfei Waterfall Scenic Area, Changhu Scenic Area, Yuehu Scenic Area, Zhiyun Cave Scenic Area, Qifeng Tunnel Scenic Area and Guishan National Forest Park. Among them, Shilin Scenic Area, Heisongyan Scenic Area, Longfei Waterfall Scenic Area and Changhu Scenic Area have been developed into tourist areas.

Shilin is a veritable "forest" composed of rocks, which passes through it, but there are stones everywhere, towering abruptly and with different postures. Due to the function of limestone, the stone pillars are separated from each other. After years of wind and rain erosion, countless stone peaks, stone pillars, stalagmites and stone buds have formed strange stones, waterfalls, lakes, caves and peaks. Yunnan Shilin Karst is among the best in similar karst areas in the world in terms of the diversity of type distribution, the uniqueness of karst development, the complexity of geological evolution, the aesthetics of rock mechanism, the integration of humanistic customs and the accessibility of internal viewing. In particular, some areas of Shilin are the geological landforms formed by the superposition of limestone and basalt, which is rare in the world.
