Huanghe Shilin National Geopark, National geopark in Jingtai County, Gansu, China

Huanghe Shilin National Geopark covers about 50 square kilometres in Jingtai County, Gansu, with a 10-square-kilometre core of stone pinnacles. The formations are an alluvial sandstone fenglin: layered sand-and-gravel rock cut by water erosion and gravity collapse into columns mostly 80 to 100 metres tall, reaching 200 metres.

The rock formations were carved over millions of years by the Yellow River, which slowly wore away softer sediment and left behind the harder stone cores. The area received its national geopark status in 2004, which marked the start of organized protection and visitor access.

The Chinese term shilin, "stone forest", describes pinnacle-shaped karst, the same landform found at Yunnan's Shilin; here the pillars are alluvial sandstone fenglin. The site has drawn film crews: scenes for productions including 《天下粮仓》 (Tianxia Liangcang) and 《大漠敦煌》 (Desert Dunhuang) were shot among the columns.

The park has wooden walkways and viewing platforms that make the main areas reachable, but some paths are steep and uneven. Solid footwear is a good idea, and arriving early in the day helps avoid the busiest periods.

The stone forest is an alluvial sandstone fenglin, formed from sand and gravel layers about 2.1 million years old. Its pillars, mostly 80 to 100 metres tall and reaching 200 metres, have drawn film crews for productions such as Tianxia Liangcang and Xibu Retu.
