八美变质岩石林是在青藏高原东侧首次发现的世界罕见、国内唯一的地质遗迹景观，它是在特殊的区域地质背景下，由于特殊的地质构造运动而形成的，具有巨大的科学研究价值。对于这样珍贵、稀有的资源，人们不仅要将它保护好，使其可持续利用，而且要开发好，建设好，使这里成为大众观光和科普教育旅游目的地，并促进民族地区的经济发展。在对变质岩石林景观的地学成因背景及科学价值进行探讨的同时，就旅游开发与资源保护等问题提出了建设性的构思。

Resource Value and Tourism Development of Stone Forest of Metamorphic Rocks in Bamei

As a unique geologic relic in China and a rare phenomenon in the world, the stone forest of metamorphic rocks found in Bamei community, east of Qinghai-Tibet plateau, is of great value for scientific research. This paper supplies some constructive suggestions for the tourism development and conservation of the rock forest while probing into the geologic background and scientific value of it. The very special geologic circumstances and geologic conformation movement help to bring about this marvelous rock forest which,as a scarce resource,deserves the most careful protection and conservation. Efforts should be made to obtain the sustainable development of this rock forest so that it can contribute to the economic development of the ethnic area as a destination of sightseeing tourism and science education tourism without any human destruction.
