The Karst Stone Forest - Libo, Guizhou




Water Forest is quite an unique landscape in Xiaoqigong Scenic site.  It is divided into upper and lower section.  The entire river valley is overflown with crystal clear water and growing in the water are different kinds of bizarre plants.



It was such a great experience and fun to explore the unique stone forest by walking on all these dotted rock steps with water freely squeezing underneath and besides it.



The river water branches off at the stone forest, flowing along its sides and reunion again under it.






The clear river water cutting between growing plants and irregular sized rocks make its way all through, day after day, year after year, never exhausted. The trees being well nourished are abundant, the rocks being uninterruptedly polished are smooth and shinning.












Streams wind and twist through the dotted rocks that are visible above its water.






Water running merrily over the natural rocks and plants lively staying firm in the water are such an exquisite extraordinary sight that we never ever met .



A Forest of Fantasy!















Every one enjoy the marvelous scene while cautiously moving on with the stepping stones and getting hold of the surrounding creepers.






Natural stone arts!



The unpolluted creeks are the breeding bed for water grass and moss.



A little hard boiled eggs seller along the river!

After Water Forest, we came to Valley falls which is also a scenic site within Xiaoqigong area.



Valley falls was one of the film shooting scene for the TV Series Journey to West relating to the great monk and his three disciples, a monkey, a pig and a water spirit.















Pamelo, bamboo rice and little river fish tempura are some of the local delicacies.
