Do you know what the natural wonder this is?
Stone Forest
石林
The first wonder we will introduce is the Stone Forest in China, which lies about 80 miles from Kunming city. The Stone Forest has gone through 280 million years of formation and finally developed into different shapes, such as plants, animals and human figures. They are all lifelike. These 20 — 50 meters high stones look like a forest from a distance. That’s why people call it “Stone Forest”.

The second wonder is Iguazu Falls, located on the border between Brazil and Argentina and known as one of the world’s greatest wonders. The falls are 1.7 miles long and range from 197 to 269 feet high. The most impressive part of Iguazu Falls is called “The Devil’s Throat”, a U-shaped rift of 260 — 300 feet wide and 230 — 260 feet deep. “We have visited many waterfalls, and the Iguazu Falls are the most beautiful and powerful waterfalls we’ve ever seen”, many of our travelers said.
