China Images
China: Yunnan Province: Wan Shan and Shi Lin
All these pictures are from a visit to Yunnan in February 2010. Wan Shan county is in south-eastern part of Yunnan, close to the
Chinese border with Vietnam. Shi Lin, on the way from Kunming to Wan Shan, is famous for its stone forest. The pictures of Shi Lin presented
here are taken from the highway and show small rocks. I was told that stone forest with bigger rocks is really breath-taking. However, I could not
visit the stone forest. Click on any thumbnail below to open the page with all the bigger images of this group of pictures.
China: Yunnan Province: Kunming, Guangnan and Xi Chou
All these pictures are from a visit to Yunnan province in south west part of China in February 2010. Yunnan province is

before the Chinese new year, so you can see many places decorated with the auspicious red colour of celebration. Click on any
