Two girls, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni, walked in front, laughing and making fun of each other with high interest, while pointing at the strange part of the stone ring on the two paths under her feet from time to time. However, Xiao Ting fell behind and watched Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni jumping away in front, Xiao Ting signaled Xiao You beside him to follow the two girls, and he was behind and looked at the scenic spot map and introduction of the place at the entrance of the scenic spot.

As mentioned above, the name of Shilin can be said to have spread throughout the country when the domestic tourism industry was just beginning to show its name as China's four major tourist attractions. However, now, perhaps because the domestic tourism industry is booming, Shilin Scenic Area is not well-known!

After reading this introduction, Xiao Ting also took his SLR and walked forward to chase the girls Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni, while taking some photos with interest. Although Xiao Ting's shooting technique may not be particularly powerful, Xiao Ting is still very skilled in using the SLR in his hand, so even if he can't take a stunning beauty, he will definitely not bury the beautiful scenery of the stone forest!

Although it is winter, there are not very few tourists in the Shilin Scenic Area. Perhaps it is because it has been mid-twelfth lunar month recently, so the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated!

The two women Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni did not go too far. Xiao Ting quickly caught up with the two women. There was a very strange shape in this position. Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni both stood under the stone pillar and took out their cell phones to take selfies.

After seeing Xiao Ting coming, especially when he saw the camera hanging on Xiao Ting's chest, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni both lit up their eyes and pulled Xiao Ting over to take pictures of them. What else could Xiao Ting say? Naturally, he responded with a smile.

After Xiao Ting took more than ten photos of the two sisters with different actions, Shen Yuyan suddenly came over and pulled Xiao Ting to take photos together. Qian Xiaoni, a girl, also had a rare look and she volunteered to take the camera from Xiao Ting, preparing to take photos of Xiao Ting and Shen Yuyan.

However, Qian Xiaoni's idea is very good, but Xiao Ting's camera is not a fool-like operation like the camera on the phone. After Qian Xiaoni got the SLR, she looked at the buttons on the camera and suddenly felt a little numb!

Xiao Ting and Shen Yuyan pose for a long time. Seeing Qian Xiaoni holding the camera, Xiao Ting could see that Qian Xiaoni might not be able to use this kind of SLR camera, so Xiao Ting would just wave his hand to signal Xiao You to take the camera and take a photo!

However, Xiao Ting also specifically said to Qian Xiaoni and Xiao You, "If it really doesn't work, just ask Xiao You to take a photo!"

Qian Xiaoni was still preparing to cover up her own SLRs, but Xiao Ting said this and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, in addition to relaxing, she felt that Xiao Ting did not trust his photography skills. So although she handed the SLRs to Xiao You very obediently, she said to Xiao Ting and Qian Xiaoni: "Such a good view, I am really afraid that I would not take a good photo!"

"Yes, yes! You are the most amazing!" Xiao Ting and Shen Yuyan heard Qian Xiaoni's stubbornness and said this. After smiling and looking at each other, Xiao Ting didn't say anything. Shen Yuyan said as if she was teasing Qian Xiaoni.

"It's obviously!" Qian Xiaoni couldn't help but mutter in a low voice when she heard Shen Yuyan say this. After muttering, she looked up at Xiao Ting again, which made Xiao Ting feel a little puzzled.

While walking around in the Shilin Scenic Area, you can visit the beautiful scenery of the Shilin while constantly moving towards the Feilong Waterfall!

The group of people enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the unique place of Shilin in the scenic area. They walked slowly, which was very pleasant! Time passed slowly as the group went around, and as time passed, the group also arrived at the first more anticipated attraction in the Shilin scenic area this time, "Flying Dragon Waterfall!"

"Feilong Waterfall" is a cross-cut due to the geological movement of the Bajiang Basin. The river channel is cut across the cross-cut after it is broken. It is also one of the scenery with karst landforms in the 350 square kilometers of landscape reserve in Shilin. "Feilong Waterfall" belongs to a branch of the Pearl River water system. The waterfall has a drop of 87.8 meters and a width of nearly 60 meters. It is the waterfall with the highest drop of the Pearl River water system, so it is known as the "first waterfall in the Pearl River".

The water flow of Feilong Waterfall in winter may not be as fast as that in summer, but now you can still see the spectacular waterfall.

Xiao Ting and his group, especially Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni, took several photos under the waterfall. Xiao Ting was also dragged to take a few photos. It is rare to come once, so it is normal to take photos as a souvenir!

Behind it is the incarnation of Ashima! Ashima is a smart and beautiful girl in the myths and legends of the Yi people in Yunnan.
