Jingdong Stone Forest Gorge Scenic Area

Generally, Jingdong Shilinxia is divided naturally into eastern and western parts with both offering breathtaking views to all visitors. When you look from afar, the majestic stone forest might give you the feel of solemnity. However, when you get closer, you might accidentally find out that each and every stone is in fact molded in different shapes. Some of the stones look like giant bamboo that towers into the sky; some look like rampant lions, some like graceful ladies and many others are indescribable shapes. Nonetheless, they are incredibly magnificent.
