Nuohei Ancient Village of Yi Minority: Located at Guishan Town of Shilin Yi Autonomous County in China's southwest Yunnan Province, Nuohei Village is featured with karst landform. Limestone could be found everywhere in the village. Villagers used the limestone to build houses for centuries. Data showed that 98% houses in the vil-lage are built by stones. Hundreds of old houses, which have a history of more than one hundred years, are still preserved in the village. Thus the village also has another name called Stone Village. Shilin, literally translated as Stone Forest, is known for its spectacular pinnacle karst topography with tree-like rocks rising up from the ground. It is part of the South China Karst UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 2007. 95% of the Nuohei villagers are Sani people, a branch of the Yi ethnic minority.

Stone Forest Scenic: Do you want to see all the most typical karst stone forest landforms in just one place? Come to Yunnan's Stone Forest. As the "First Wonder of the World", this typical Stone Karst Geopark, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Kunming, covering an area of 400 square kilometers (96,000 acres), is the only karst stone forest in a subtropical plateau region in the world. In this protected area, massive low stone teeth and high rock pillars are distributed in clusters in mountain ridges, valleys and depressions, and coexist with karst caves, lakes, waterfalls, a lake with an island, and even an underground river, forming a full view of karst landscape. Particularly, looking into the distance, the massive 20-50m high stone pillar cluster here seems to be a "forest", so people visually call it "Stone Forest". Since 2007, two parts of the site, the Naigu Stone Forest and Suogeyi Village, have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites as part of the South China Karst.
