China - Di China terdapat Hutan Batu yang oleh masyarakat di sana dikenal sebagai "Shilin". Hutan Batu itu sudah dikenal sebagai keajaiban alam di China.

Shilin (The Stone Forest) is an otherworldly fantasy of twisted limestone formations that comprise the worlds largest natural stone maze. Geologists say the structures originated 200 million years ago with the interaction of limestone, sea water, rainwater and seismic upheavals. The bizarre pinnacles that resulted are of the distinctive type of limestone called karst, the same geology that one finds in Guilin.

Sekitar 270 juta tahun yang lalu, selama periode Karbon pada masa Paleozoikum, kawasan Lunan Yi merupakan area laut yang sangat luas. Seiring pergerakan lithosfer secara bertahap, menyebabkan wilayah Hutan Batu itu muncul ke permukaan, dan terbentuknya lanskap kapur. Oleh karena adanya erosi konstan berbagai unsur, wilayah itu akhirnya berubah menjadi Hutan Batu, seperti yang ada sekarang.
