Ma kahi ākea nui o 350 kilomika kilomika, aia kekahi ulu nahele pōhaku kūikawā ma Kina i kapa ʻia ʻo Shilin. ʻO kēia mea kupaianaha kūlohelohe i ke poʻo inoa o kahi pāka aupuni a i kēlā me kēia makahiki e ʻumeʻume i nā mākaʻikaʻi he nui e makemake e ʻike i ka hanohano o nā "hale pā pōhaku".
ʻO ke ʻano o ia wahi ma ka honua ma muli o ka hopena lōʻihi o ke kai, no ka mea he mau makahiki i hala e noho aliʻi ana ka wai ma aneʻi. ʻO ia, me ka ʻaʻai ʻana, ua hana i ka ʻāina i ke ʻano o nā ana, nā kaumaha, nā gorges a me nā pōhaku nunui
No ke aha he nani loa ka nahele Pohaku Shilin ma Kina?
Māhele ʻia ka ʻāina āpau i nā ʻāpana 7, kahi e waiho ai nā wahi kupaianaha:
Hana ʻia kahi ʻā lama i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ma luna ona, loaʻa i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ka manawa kūpono e leʻaleʻa ai i ka lewa kūlohelohe a hoʻāʻo i ko lākou ikaika i nā hanana like ʻole: ke pāʻani ʻana i kahi deragona, hākōkō, nā hakakā bipi.
Ma ka ululāʻau Shilin, hana ʻia nā mea āpau no ka pono o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi.
Inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻomaha i ka wā o ka huakaʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoluʻolu ma nā noho ʻoluʻolu a me nā pākaukau i ka malu, i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā pua, nā ulu ʻohe a me nā lau nahele nani. Maikaʻi ʻaʻole loaʻa nā nahesa weliweli ma aneʻi, e like me ka mokupuni ʻo Keimada Grande. ʻO ka poʻe makemake ʻole e hele wāwae i ka nui, hiki iā lākou ke kauoha i ka huakaʻi ma ke kaʻa ʻōhua.
No ke kipa ʻana iā Shilin Stone Forest, pono ʻoe e uku iā 5 yuan, akā pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ua kūʻai ʻokoʻa ʻia ka likiki komo i kekahi mau wahi. ʻAʻole hiki ke loaʻa nā alakaʻi alakaʻi Lūkini ma aneʻi, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke kauoha i kahi huakaʻi ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania.
