The northwest is higher than the southeast in latitude. Over 2,000 square kilometers, or 2/3 of land area of Yinyi is part of the peak forest. Based on the conformation and shape, the forest is categorized as embattle forest, sword forest, dragons group forest arhat forest and folded hat forest. Each type of peak forest has its own features, and together they form marvelous spectacle of Karst topography. .

The whole peak forest is divided as eastern forest and western forest; only the western forest in Xiawu Village is now open to tourists. In the western peak one sees a Karst formation on the highland, in the basin there stands countless gorgeous peaks. Among the imposing green peaks in the basin are small piece of rice paddies, running springs and rural villas, which is really like a Chinese brush painting. The Eight Diagram (a Taoist symbol) Rice Paddy in the stone forest reserves the high reputation it enjoys, and is a must for sightseers.
