Seen in the Shilin (Stone Forest) Scenic Area in Yunnan. The area is filled with unique limestone formations.
This was seen in an area you walk through a labyrinth between tall ancient stones. Many are tall rocks that rise from the ground, hence the name 'stone forest'; most of the rock formations are associated with a story or legend.

This shot was taken in Yunnan Province of China in an area called Shilin, which means Stone Forest. Indeed, it's a great description of this place where trees grow in and around these bizarre looking rocks. The rock is all limestone and can be sharp and abrasive. We had a lot of fun exploring this vast area and it was one of the highlights of our China trip. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay for the best light since we had to get back to Kunming to catch our next train.
The Shilin (Stone Forest) Scenic Area is perhaps the most famous tourist destination in Yunnan. The area is filled with unique limestone formations. Many are tall rocks that rise from the ground, hence the name 'stone forest'.

The Stone Forest or Shilin (Chinese: 石林; pinyin: Shílín) is a notable set of limestone formations about 500 km2 located in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, People's Republic of China, near Shilin approximately 90 km (56 mi) from the provincial capital Kunming.
The tall rocks seem to arise from the ground in a manner somewhat reminiscent of stalagmites, or with many looking like petrified trees, thereby creating the illusion of a forest made of stone. Since 2007, two parts of the site, the Naigu Stone Forest (乃古石林) and Suogeyi Village (所各邑村), have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites as part of the South China Karst. The site is classified as a AAAAA-class tourist site.
