Located 165km from downtown Chongqing, Wansheng Stone Forest (wansheng shilin) is the oldest (formed during the Ordovician epoch) and the second largest stone forest (the largest one is in Guilin) in China.

The forest here has a typical karst appearance, filled with sword, drum, pagoda, mushroom and bud shaped stones  as well as animal shapes. This place in fact could be called a stone made zoo!!!

How to get Wansheng Store Forest : You can take a tourist express train or, as an alternative, take bus No.327 from Nanping Bus Station and get off at Wansheng, where you have to take another minibus directly to the forest. Both ways take about 4 hours.
